Where do ye start? Prepare for.....

- incredibly slow TV guide navigation
- programs not recording that you set to record
- no option to delete a series link. Delete an episode or everything on the box
- on playback expect frequent pausing and/or loss of sound. Stop playback and start again to restore
- expect random messages such as 'you are not subscribed to this channel' on BBC and UTV. Can only be sorted by factory reset and remote UPC reset

Clearly a poor. untested piece of kit that UPC are firing out to unsuspecting victims while at the same time trying to justify jacking up their prices every quarter on the back of 'new and improved services'.

Stay clear of this junk!

The current provincial championship system in hurling. As it currently exists, its not really fit for purpose

RTE's complete lack of vision regarding their production / coverage

GAA's treatment of local residents

Shocking amount of rubbish left on the streets surrounding GAA grounds
