Does chorus/ntl offer a "sky+" alternative in areas served by chorus digital (mmds)?

Chorus MMDS - ex Irish Multichannel areas-(Counties Cork, Limerick, Clare, Kerry, Longford, Roscommon, Westmeath, Offaly, Wicklow, Wexford, Cavan, Monaghan, Louth, Meath)

We have had chorus digital (not cable but mmdm) for years. We could move to sky plus but were wondering whether it would be any advantage to stay with chorus if they offered an alternative to sky plus.

Is there a free to air "sky+" alternative availiable in Ireland?
 
Theres nothing as good as Sky+ that includes the Irish stations. By as good I mean with as many features and as bug free.

Freesat/FreetoAir does not have the Irish stations. IMO the NTL product is inferior. All of the above are cheaper than Sky if all costs are considered. For example NTL will replace a faulty box for free. Sky may not (AFAIK).
 
I don't know to be honest. From my reading on their website it suggests it depends entirely if the area has been upgraded for digital or not. Looks like some MMS have and some haven't. Which would mean only ringing them will you know.

The area has been upgraded for digital all right.

Thanks to the reference to the upc web site: UPC Ireland - Digital+ - Record Digital TV from Chorus ntl

It might contain some answers:
