Its been a while since I worked for Unison and so stuff might have
changed but it's unlikely.
The box should just work anywhere in the country.
If the lady moves it far enough she will leave her local call area
but it should still connect to the original dialup number without issue.
While it would be possible to change the dialup settings it would be a
pain. I suspect the config on customer units is locked anyhow.
I think pointing the box at register.unison.ie should give you an
option to change settings (in this case county) which will then be
loaded onto the STB. At least I rememeber testing such stuff once upon a
time.
