This has already been mentioned in another thread but I just thought I would
highlight the matter as I was not following that thread cos I didn't think it
would be shown in the UK at all.
Anyway I though I would just check the TV guide to see if it was being shown
on Sky in the UK (by some miracle) and I was much surprised to see Channel
5 were showing the match which is great. Good old channel 5, they used to
show some Ireland matches in the past but then stopped doing it, I hope
they will show more in the future.
Better still I used to get a really poor reception on channel 5 but when I recently bought a Freeview box I had to fit a new loft aerial and point it at
a different transmittor (Nottingham not Waltham) to get all the Freeview channels. As a bonus I can get a great analogue picture from the Nottingham
transmittor on channel 5 too, which is good because my freeview signal
is not the strongest and occasionally prone to a touch of pixelation.
Also I will now have a choice of formats to watch it in, 4:3 16:9 etc, I prefer
4:3 but I will be able to quickly switch between the two (freeview tends to be
delayed by a second or too).
Best news I have had all week :D
I just hope we get a result now!
