Yes, no problem. Our dedicated Home Move Team can sort this out for you. Just email them at homemove.ie@vodafone.com. 

Ideally, we would like to receive 1 months’ notice to ensure your service is set up in time.

Sometimes we are unable to connect your property on your desired day due to the following reasons:

• If you don’t have access to the property, then this will cause a delay in getting your service installed
• Previous occupiers haven’t disconnected their service
• Moving into a new estate that requires a new line

If this happens, our dedicated team will be there to support you and help get your service up and running as quickly as possible.

For more, see the rest of our Home Move FAQs.

Here are a few things that you need to know.

• Take note of your appointment date and time and pop it into your calendar, so you don't forget
• A person over the age of 18 must be present during the installation
• This person needs to be present for the full duration of the appointment.
  
• If you live in rented accommodation, you may need to get permission from your landlord. This is because wiring will be required for your main set-top box.
  
• Additional power sockets may be required to install all devices. It's good to have a power extension strip handy in case the technician needs one

Our installation guide will show you what to expect before, during and after your installation.

Once you have turned on your new Vodafone TV PLAY and the account set up process is complete, the old Vodafone TV service will cancel.

A household can only have either Vodafone TV or Vodafone TV PLAY. 

Until you turn on your Vodafone TV PLAY for the first time, your Vodafone TV will continue to work.

When upgraded to Vodafone TV PLAY, your past Sky add-ons will be terminated along with the old TV service.
