How do I choose a TV package? What should I think about?
When you’re comparing tv deals, think about:
- Your budget
- If you want multi-room
- If you want to bundle your TV with broadband and/phone, or a standalone plan.
- What channels you want - not all providers offer the same channels with their plans.
- Add-ons - like Sky Cinema, Sky Sports, or additional HD channels, these will more than likely mean an increase in your monthly cost.
What additional TV services can I get?
There are lots of optional extras depending on your provider and what you’re interested in,e.g.:

While today’s news will be welcomed by Sky customers, it raises uncertainty for eir Sport, whose offering has been reduced considerably by the new deal. The Irish sports broadcaster does, however, have all 48 games live from this year’s Rugby World Cup.
Eir Sport also shows Pro14, SSE Airtricity League and Allianz League games across its two channels.
