Cage Warriors is on BT tomorrow to now, I'm not sure but I'd imagine that's a tie-in for a new BT deal with UFC as they have those shows on FP. Good stuff IMO.

Is your offer definately for twelve months at that price? I can see the £10.99 offer mentioned below but it goes up to £26.99 after three months.

I am looking to move to Sky Broadband and take the BT sub seperately if a decent offer is around

Yes rang 0800 800 150 thanks to previous poster here - they offered £11.99 and free had for 3 months straight away then got 12 months free hd without too much pressing. Also put me on new contract immediately as my current contract wasn't up until end of August- I was paying £17.50 pm.

Thanks. Looks like BT have got the rights as they are showing an event on Thursday night.

It appears in ireland we have a better deal to receive BT Sport.

If you sign up to Eir Fibre Broadband you get the Eir Sport pack that includes BT Sport for free for the first 18months. It could be used through Irish Sky TV boxes or through the eir sport app

Irish Terrestrial TV has live champions league football on tuesdays/wednesdays for the next 2 years of the present contract

English Premiership live Rugby would not appeal to irish audiences but European Cup Rugby would appeal to them .

The 42 live EPL games from BT Sport would appeal to irish audiences

This move by Eir will increase its irish broadband subsscribers.

I have Sky Fibre Broadband but I will be moving to eir fibre broadband in September 2016.

Sky Fibre Broadband runs its irish broadband under the eir system. In theory, every Sky Broadband subscriber should move to eir when their 12months contract ends.

Sky Ireland could counter this eir sport move by offering half price Sky Sport to its sky fibre broadband subscribers. If they don't Sky Fibre Broadband in ireland should lose most of their subscribers to eir.

Just because they're showing it doesn't mean they necessarily have the rights.

Let's just stop looking at every minute detail now and wait until something is announced.

Do you really HAVE to post this exact same (what appears to be cut and paste) off-topic nonsense every couple of week?

Which, despite requests not to, you also feel the need to PM me (and probably a load of others) with the same cut and paste versions too?

This is different

Eir Sport is BT Sport in Ireland.

Eir are going to take many of Sky Ire's broadband customers this year.

Eir might gain 28% new broadband customers in the next few months with their free 'eir sport' offer.

Its nonsense that many irish people don't really know how they can save money with their broadband

Sky broadband in ireland is in big trouble. Sky Ireland will have to do something very drastic to keep customers for switching to Eir for their broadband.

Sky Ireland might really offer half price Sky Sport only all the time for Sky Broadband customers with Sky TV and they might make 'sky boxed sets' to be available with every basic sky tv bundle.

Firstly, Eir Sport is NOT BT Sport in Ireland.

Secondly, what the hell does SKY Broadband have to do with BT Sport?!

off topic oft repeated nonsense removed.
Is this seriously an attempt to defend your previous off-topic (and constantly repeated) effort?

Absolutely none of that has anything to do with this thread - none of it.

Eir acts as a selling agent for BT Sport in Ireland in much the same way as Sky acts as a selling agent for the likes of UKTV, MUTV and many others. Using your logic Sky is MUTV in the UK and Ireland

You've been asked a few times by a number of users in this section to post your consumer nonsense in the relevant places and stop clogging up these threads (and my PM box) with your cut and paste efforts.

And to apologise to others for going off-topic and to address the stuff about Sky and what you think they might do, I suggested in another thread in which you said you think PL 3pms might appear on terrestrial in Ireland that you should stop posting your random thoughts. Of course you've decided not to respond to that.

You're seriously embarrassing yourself (albeit no more than usual). Quit whilst you're only so far behind

Noticing that bt are showing ufc fight night live on Thursday morning. Mcdonald v lineker and also the prelims. The ufc app says prelims live but not the main card. Bt youview has the main card live on guide.

It looks like bt have a new contract? Why is there no announcement

Next event after that is fight night holms v Shevchenko, july 23, but app is saying blackout. Next is ufc 201 and 202 and they are still saying bt sport 2.

Seriously, give it a rest! Nobody cares what you are doing with your fibre broadband, and your 'info' is helping absolutely nobody.

Jeez!

Maybe all the UFC news including rights is going to be released together as the Fertitta's are to announce the sale of the business later today.

Ah that's unfair; he'll happily tell you himself that he has helped hundreds of people (apparently too stupid to work out how to do it for themselves) to save money.

Then he'll tell you again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

If you're not careful even via uninvited PMs.

And because you've asked him to stop bombarding (sorry, advising) us all you too will be informed that you "are pro-sky person and you hate Sky haing any competition in Ireland [SIC]"

Interesting. I have EE at the moment but rarely used the BT Sport app anyway. Streaming from my TV server gives better quality, although BT Sport's app was definitely better than those of BBC, ITV, Sky, etc. in terms of quality.

In Ireland... (sorry, couldn't resist)...it appears that he has been banned on an equivalent forum for doing what he does here.

Not surprisingly, as a result, the mods there are, apparently, all pro-Sky and hate Sky having any competition in Ireland.

Spotting a pattern?

I do realise I might be becoming as annoying as he is and for that I apologise
