Being honest Freeview would probably suit me and my wife but we need all the kids channels that Freeview doesn't have (Nick Jnr, Disney etc..)

I've been looking at some of the bundle offers from upc, Eircom or sky but I'm wary of getting into a contract and finding the provider is bad to deal with.

Does anyone have experience of UPC? Is horizon as bad as the reports on boards.ie would suggest?

Does anyone use Eircom for tv? I'd love to hear what the interface is like.

Alternatively does anyone have phone / broadband from Sky? What are they like to deal with?

Any other recommendations would be welcome.
Thanks

First hand experience with Horizon. Its rubbish don't do it!

Its not just the slow menu etc thats annoying or the purely designed and unintuitive interface, I have the power cycle the box every couple of days because the internet drops.

I'm looking into changing to the old style modem (Cisco one) that I can bridge and the basic tv package set top box.

I'm currently paying 80 a month (never use the phone) and to keep my 240mb connection and do the above it will cost me 75. I'll have less channels but in my mind its worth it to get rid of the horizon box!

Love the ridiculous broadband speeds, but UPC's TV set up sucks the fat one!
