The Guardian article referenced "users in Ireland" - so maybe only mirrors the TV deal.

This bit is interesting:

Quote:
“Exclusive to Irish customers on Sky Sports 5, they will make up 33 of the 159 English top flight fixtures being shown live this season.”

Did Setanta used to show a game on the final day of the season? Presumably the game picked will be a fourth or fifth pick depending upon what else Sky and possibly BT pick.

So no seperate channel for ire, are they going to block SS5 for UK viewers, so we pay a fortune and no get some content blocked!

So is there a way of getting the Irish EPG here in the UK?

No, they'll put the Premier League game on the Irish version of SS5. In the UK, we'll get something else (currently scheduled to be WWE).

Not legitimately, no.

You'll be able to tune in the Irish version via Other Channels, but your card won't decrypt it.

But I assume there is a way that probably couldn't be discussed here?

As far as I'm aware, the only way to get the Irish EPG is to have a card registered to an ROI address.

Which means you have to live there, of course.

Yes, any final day game would be picked once the UK channels have picked theirs.

It is/was pretty much always an utter dead rubber; although Setanta were lucky enough to get WBA 5 Manchester United 5 - Fergie's final game as manager.

UK viewers won't have content blocked because the games are contracted to be shown in the Republic only. So, the fortune you've paid doesn't entitle you to see them.

If anything it is Irish subscribers who are losing content; the content that is on in the UK at that time - their subscription does entitle them to see that.

Irish subscribers also pay more for the Sports pack, so it's not even as if they're getting more for the same or less.

You actually can't compare the two as its not like for like.
Sky Ireland is 67 euros a month for 159 games
Sky UK doesn't offer the same package.

Its apples & oranges

That's exactly the point I was making.

I've just been looking at the picks for August and September and I think we may have overlooked something. We've assumed that the West Ham v Southampton game in Week 6 is a Package D or G game. As it is a single game Super Sunday, however, I think that could mean it is a Package C game, which would make a lot of sense from a quota filling point of view.

The packages are precisely the same, apart from 33 extra PL games on Sky Sports in Ireland, these games cannot be shown in the UK.

It's apples and apples.

Sorry to be pedantic. But that means they aren't the same.
That package is not available to me, a sky customer living in England.

You're completely and utterly missing the point.
