Ireland games and knockouts to be on free tv too

Half their games wont be on their free channell going by previous rwc
eirSport (yes they're owned by the "telephone company") will be set up like BT Sport in the UK so that existing and future eirBroadband customers will have free access to all six sports channels (including BT Sports).
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

There is talk that they are interested in the PRO12 when the Sky deal ends, hopefully it provides a bidding war.

They have never had a "free channel" as Setanta.

They had one that came with a UPC/Virgin subscription.

Ah ya know what I mean

Was that channell ever on saorview or anything like that?

Eir have pro 12, rwc, best half of ERC, then its a no brainer and sky doesnt offer a whole heap

Think sky let you subscribe to sky sports month to month or no fixed contract, so people can subscribr just when the soccer is on

So wait if you have eir as a broadband provider will you now get free BT and setanta? Does this work if you have Sky for your tv or do you have to have eir as a TVs provider as well

It works if you have sky as your tv provider. You just log in to your eir account and register with your sky viewing card number
