I haven't heard anything aobut this one, but I presume it'd be the same as 
sky offer? browse the net using your remote .. interective tv .. bleh .. 
Anyhow, rumours that I've heard are not nice .. concerning multichannel..
Seeing that rumour has the flu and everything else atm, it also has that 
Ireland will be going into the dsl age soon, but alas, cork wont be .. due 
to a monopoly multichannel supposingly has in cork.. supposidly legally 
given to it by our dear cork politicians.
It is illegal to have a satellite dish on your house, so multichannel can 
inforce.. instead of stopping individual householders, they supposidly just 
stop new broadcasters setting up shop.

Alot of supposings here .. does anyone know the sure facts?

I presume you know about esats suft no limits?
17quid a month for unlimited connection from 6pm - 8am + no phone charge :)

Not sure I could handle mobile phone type of writting a mail myself ;)
