What Is Eir TV?

Eir TV brings both on-demand and live content into your home via the introduction of its set-top box. This device allows you to access over 100 channels, record up to 500 programmes, access a huge variety of apps such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, and even use their 7-day catch-up facility to replay shows from the last week.

At this time, Eir TV can only be accessed by those who have traditional fixed-line Eir broadband, and not Eir mobile broadband. While this can help to streamline your bills and services by having them all grouped, it does mean that should you wish to change broadband provider, you would also have to seek another TV service provider, such as Sky or Virgin Media.

What Are the Eir TV and Broadband Bundles?

Eir TV currently offers three packages to the public. Similarly to many of the big providers such as Virgin Media, each of these packages relies on a fibre connection, and as such offer very competitive internet speeds, as well as a smooth service. These work like your Eir Bill Pay phones where you only pay a monthly direct debit.

Specific plan availability may vary depending upon your area, and current connections. This can be checked by using the Eir broadband checker so you can make sure you're eligible for Eir fibre broadband. Alternatively, head over to www.eir.ie, or simply input eir.ie within the URL bar of your browser. If your Eir broadband is down for some reason, you can investigate by using Eir Support!

Eir TV itself is priced at €14.99 per month and is treated as an add-on to your broadband package. If you already have Eir broadband, you should seek to contact Eir customer service to discuss adding this package to your plan and organising the delivery of your device. Be sure to pay your TV licence if you opt for the Eir TV plan, even if you will only watch from your computer!

If you are a new customer, simply select one of the Eir TV and broadband bundles, or add Eir TV as an extra when proceeding through the checkout for a broadband package. You might also be able to add this to your Eir business packages too.

Need to stay in touch with your family? These Eir TV packages also include unlimited off-peak local and national calls!

The table includes payable add-on channels. Further details can be found at www.eir.ie/tv.

What Optional Eir TV Extra Channels Are There?

If you have a particular interest or feel that the base package alone may not fully satisfy your TV needs, Eir TV currently offers three additional add-on packages to further expand your experience, they are:

1. Racing TV
   Priced at €29.99 per month, this addition adds horse racing from all 61 Racecourses across Ireland and the UK.
2. Eir TV Extra
   Currently listed at €9.99 per month, this package acts as a supplement to the existing entertainment and kids options by expanding the number of available channels.
3. Multiroom
   At €9.99 per month, per room (to a maximum of two rooms), this service adds an extra Apple TV device (the set-top box through which Eir TV is provided) to your service. These can be connected to TVs in other rooms to save any squabbles over the TV remote.

Can I cancel Eir TV add-on channels?These add-on channels run as 30-day contracts. If you wish to remove these from your list of active services, you should contact Eir TV customer support. If left, these products will auto-renew at the end of each 30-day term.

Is There an Eir TV App?

There certainly is. The Eir TV App is available on both Android and iOS devices. By downloading this app, you will gain access to all of the channels included in your package, giving you the ability to watch while you are out and about. Currently, the Eir TV app is rated at 3.7 out of 5 on the Apple App store, yet on the Google Play Store, it is being rated quite poorly, with many customers citing system issues and glitches.

One feature that users may find frustrating, is that the Eir TV app allows for only two devices to be registered at any one time. If you wish to register more, you will have to remove a prior device, and such a change can only be made once per month. This could prove tricky for households with multiple mobiles, tablets, and TVs. To make this change, complete the following process:

1. Log into your My Eir account
2. Select 'Manage Eir TV' from the 'more' menu at the top of the page
3. Remove the device that you no longer desire to be connected to your account, and click yes to remove the device'
4. After removal, your new device will automatically connect on the next login attempt

Don't break the bank!Be careful of data charges if you download or stream shows without a wifi connection! These services tend to be quite data-heavy and can eat up your allowances quickly if you download away from a broadband connection.

How Can I Access the Eir TV Online Player?

For those who would prefer to sit back and watch Eir TV from their computer or laptop, their Online Player is just the thing you need. Simply head over to the Eir login page, and enter your standard Eir login details, the same place for your My Eir account and Eir Webmail.

Once logged in, you can view upcoming programmes, set programmes to record, watch catch-up TV on selected channels, access the Eir TV guide and otherwise get ready to relax to some quality shows.

What's the Difference Between Eir TV and Eir Vision?

Many of us are familiar with the term "Eir Vision", and it can be easily misunderstood as another way of speaking about Eir TV, but this wouldn't be strictly correct. While Eir Vision has been provided to Irish households for many years, as of mid-2022 this service is being phased out. This means that existing Eir Vision customers will either need to transfer their services over or potentially close their accounts.

While this can sound worrying, ultimately this is a very simple upgrading of service, which will enable the customer to interact with their Eir package with greater ease, and enjoy additional new features. A few examples include:

1. Being able to control your TV via the Siri Live Tune feature within the Eir TV app
2. A streamlined and simplified Eir TV guide and channel listings
3. Keep up to 500 recordings

It is recommended to use the Eir TV contact number sooner rather than later to ensure the seamless transition of your eir plans, and avoid any loss of service.
