UPC Communications Ireland Limited, which trades primarily under the brand name Chorus NTL, is Liberty Global Europe's operation in Ireland. It is part of the UPC Broadband division of Liberty, UPC being an abbreviation of that company's previous name, United Pan-Europe Communications

History

Liberty Global and its predecessors UGC Europe and Tele-Communications Inc have had shareholdings in Chorus Communications and its predecessor, Princes Holdings (Irish Multichannel), since the company's formation in the early 1990s. Originally a joint venture with Independent News and Media, IN&M sold its shares to Liberty in 2004. In May 2005, NTL agreed to sell its Irish operations NTL Ireland (previously Cablelink) to Liberty Global. Morgan Stanley held the shareholding until Competition Authority approval was obtained. This occoured in December 2005 and UPC Ireland came into being on 12 December 2005.


even chorus is really about 10 mergers/takeovers starting i think with fonny cliffords cable company in limerick way back when i remember if it worked for a day without being hacked into was great . hacking into then was cutting the cable and every1 after the cut was without a signal.often done with a hatchet to hack the cable.. hence the name hacking..lol

 

Can't we just call them the spawn of satan and leave it at that?

 

because they use 2 different symbol rates they are still 2 stand alone companys under the 1 umbrella thats all

 

Hi,
First let me say that I have a very serious problem with the word "engineer" being used to describe a brain donor either sitting on the end of a phone line or coming to my house to fix a simple cable problem. To me, an engineer is a person who goes to college to study a subject, earn a degree in that subject & actually understand the subject. NONE of the people that I have had the misfortune of dealings with fit any 1 of the above, so I really do wish people would stop using the term engineer to describe them!! Being able to recite a few technical terms that you do not understand has never impressed me.
What people fail to understand or see hers is that to provide a proper service requires a very good understanding of RF techniques, things like attenuation, vswr, mis-match, terminating impedance etc, & thats before you even get to all the analogue or digital buzz words.
If anyone can find one of those "engineers" who can explain any one of the above terms I'll be glad to call them a reasonable techie. BTW, there may be people reading this rant who know who I am by now, but i feel i should explain that I have worked in the field of RF for over 30 years both lecturing, designing, repairing & as a Radio Ham

 

hi guys when the changeover of nagra3 is complete will i be able to put free to air software on my eurovox...and if so will i need a satellite dish to recieve them, cheers

 

this is a goodidea, I also thaught about to use my st*rview with a dish. but not sure is it possible or not?
regards

 

you cannot use a cable box with a dish plus you can not load free to air channels on a box,free to air equals satelite dish plus satelite box.

 

when i got my box it had freeview software on it. What channels would i pick up with that software on it?? i didnt even check when i got the box to excited i just flashed it with the good firmware

 

if you flashed it correctly with the proper firmware did you turn on the emu and then go to sky sports 2 to let the box update? are you getting any channels atall?

 

ah i know! ive had the box for over a year now. had all the channels but with dis nagra3 cuming in im startin to lose channels and i was hoping i cud still use my box for sumting!

 

the only box thats working at present is the kryptview it has a fix for nagra 2 and will work till nagra 3 is fully in operation.

 

u can still use other boxes no problems,but u will gradually lose more and more channels.

 

Hey guys does anybody no what the symbol rate for Ch*r*s out in the Straffin area of Kildare is!? cheers

 

chorus eire symbol rate 6875
ntl eire symbol rate 6887

 

Try 6875

 

Cheers guys its not for me now!! Its for herself family hopefully get them up and running this evening... absolute nightmare with this nagra 3...hopefully the lads can crack it sooner rather than later..

cheers

 

dont effect that area at the moment

 

For those effected by the Nagra2 changeover by N*L in Dublin. The delivered cost of a Kryptview A750 box is approx €115 (stillable to decode Nagra2). If as suggested the Nagra3 changeover won't fully happen until the end of 2009. This represents 8 months of Movies & sports (and everything else) @ approx €60 per month = €480. Sounds like good value to me!! Any reasons why I'm wrong with these assumptions, please reply?
