    Hi

    My UPC Horizon bundle is up and I am looking at alternative. I was going to look at Eircom bundle for Phone/Internet/TV

    I was wondering. At the moment there is UPC point beside TV which is also where the router connects. On Eircom ia everything connect in via telephone line? 

    Is it one box for TV etc or what is set up?

    If seperate broadband router, what is the router?

    Hi Big Nelly

    The evision box and modem are separate. The modem connects to the phone socket and a separate set to box feeds from this.

    eircoms efibre modem is called the Zyxel F1000.

    Thanks

    Sorry above does not make sense. I understand the F1000 connects to the phone line. Does the evision box require a separate connection to the phone line?

    Hi Big Nelly

    The evision box only requires connection to the F1000 but not the actual phone socket, this is arranged by the installation technician.

    Thanks

    Quick one, looking at options as about to throw out UPC...with the installation will the team just use the telephone points already in the house? or do they have the option like UPC/SKY to install a new point? my TV is on outside wall at front of house, so with Sky/UPC they just drilled in and put point at front of house so I could run cables externally and not inside the house. Is this an option?

    Do you have a video/demo of how the interface on TV box works?

    Hi Big Nelly

    The installation engineer will install your router and TV points up to 30 meters internally, I'm afraid external cabling will not be offered big Nelly

    There's no specific video available but I have passed on feedback for operations to look in to this.

    Thanks
