So even you can get it, despite saying nobody in Ireland gets it
It's really only a Skybox that prevents you doing what you want
Virtually any other satellite box would give you what you want; of course to record it you'd need a box that has an internal drive or is capable of recording to an external drive.
A Freesat box would mean you could do it via plug and play.
Or, if you live close to the border, or at many points along the east coast, you'd receive it via a terrestrial aerial. That's also possible in other parts of the country but reception can be hit and miss from what I'm told by relatives.
There is also a fiddley way you can record it if you have an older Skybox with a scart connection!
