Apologies - it's live SPL, English Premiership and Serie A, but just eircom League and Setanta Cup. Still, it's a start. Other "top class programming" to follow...Originally Posted by pineapple stu

well said tony, great to see declan drake getting his chance
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
Has Declan Drake left newstalk at all? Spock was doing cocommentary as well.
Subscribed to it on sky yesterday-10 euros a month plus fees but you can get a one year season ticket for one hundred euros . good value for money.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
He hasn't left Newstalk as far as I know - he was doing the commentary on the CHF - Bohs game this week...
10 quid a month for setanta alone is a bit expensive, don;t know if i could justify that on top of the 62.50 each month for sky digital. still though, sounds goood from what i've been reading/hearing
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Yeah, I'd agree with that. 10 Euros a month is a bit much at the moment but if/when they start showing live el games on a regular basis I'd consider getting it alright.
It was nice to walk into a pub in Temple bar on a Saturday morning and see coverage of an el game on the tv screens. Even had a few Carlisle fans who were there asking us about it!
Champions!
Reiteoir,
I live in London and have an Irish Sky card to pick-up the footie on RTE/TV3.
It's easy to sort. Firstly, sign-up to Sky in the UK - good news if you already have. Then ring them up (and tell them you've moved back to Ireland, brought your Sky box with you and hooked it up to a dish that was already there, but you're only getting the channels you got in the UK. After a bit of prompting the person in the call centre will realise that we have different channels in Ireland, that you need a different Sky card to get them, and will send one out to you in the post. Don't let them arrange an Engineer's visit for you - you don't need one, it'll highlight that the call-centre rep don't understand what needs to be done, and it'll feck the whole scam up.
Downside is that you have to start a totally new account with them to do this, which means you'll be without Sky for the 2-4 weeks it takes from your application until the Irish card arrives (they cancel the previous account and card)
To do this you obviously need a Southern Irish address to register your account to - one that doesn't already have Sky. Pay every month automatically by credit card, as that way you won't need to give them English bank details or worry about respoding to the monthly invoice they'll send out.
It's well worth doing it for the footy and other stuff.
PM me if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Steve
P.S. When you ring them up, do '151' or whatever it is that stops them seeing your number. Their call-centre equipment will probably display what number you're calling on, and you'll look a bit daft if you claim to have moved to Ireland and are calling on a London phone number.
