    UK service was never intended for use here. I think they are more than compensating people for switching. But yes, it'll be more expensive if you stick with the service after the 3 months.

    Got the email too. Always use a smartdns, so wondering what gave us away!
    Also, just put 6 mth passes on last month, so will wait and see what happens in April!
    Wonder if passes will just be cancelled or will boxes themselves be blacklisted?
    I really only use them for the UK players, however 2nd box in house uses the passes!
    Would really like to continue using them for the uk players - any thoughts if they will still work?

    Got the email too.

    Not worth too much to me to half a three month pass for the April, May and June months.

    Hopefully it can be stacked.

    Disappointed tbh.

    I'll likely never use it again. Seems the ps3 still doesn't have an app on Irish psn.

    My email doesn't reference a new box?

    Just the pass?

    Did they charge P&P?

    It's the older box right?

    No charge at all. It's the current gen box - the only box available in Ireland.

    The new one is not a box, it's a stick

    The box is the only option available in Ireland. I can see the stick on the UK site though.

    TBH, I'm going to hold off until after April 3rd and see what happens then. If access is genuinely gone, then I'll decide.

    I got offered a free box and entertainment/movies for €10 a month for three months. I'd probably avail of that, but full price Now TV is just ridiculous in Ireland so that will be the end of it.

    The kids pass gets the most use in our house and that's still not an option in the Ireland service, so this is the end I'd say.

    I'm currently on a half price UK sports pass so worried about cancelling unless I have to.

    Is there any chance the Irish account will work on the ps3 after all this I wonder?

    I had to setup a UK account to get the app and its not available on the psn store here.

    I wasn't offered a box in my email, just a three month half price sports pass.

    Did anyone who already switched to UK after getting the email get a confirmation email about the box? Was there somewhere signing up where you put in your new email address? Because I don't remember doing so.

    Click on the 'Claim My Offers' link in the email and it'll bring you to a web site to register as a new user.

    I've not gotten any email yet. I live in Scotland but have the box back in the parent's inlaw as just got a sports pass, movies and entertainment for christmas. Bought a sky sports pass off ebay the other day for this christmas so hopefully i'll be ok! Crazy that people who use VPN's are getting caught out!

    Apologies for jumping in folks and not investigating but is there a native Netflix app on this to allow easy access on a non-smart TV via wifi here in Ireland?

    If you want Netflix you need to buy a Roku Box.

    It is, i'd have no problem switching to the irish one if it wasn't for the obvious rip off.

    Decided to cut my ties and have a new box being dispatched today. Have the two weeks free trial and then the free 3 months.

    At €15 per month, can't see me signing up for any of that.

    Netflix will be added to the Now TV boxes later this year. There was an announcement a while back about a partnership between Sky and Netflix.

    So i cancelled the UK service, created an Irish account and all that.

    Went to put in the Voucher code for the free box - "Sorry, you're ineligible for this offer". The Entertainment and Cinema passes worked though.

    If i can't get a free box, i'll be cancelling outright

    Just tested mine there now - All passes still working.

    Initially thought I was gone, but I had logged out of my account after using it last time. Just logged back in and both passes still active!
    Also tried a system restart and still working!

    Will just have to wait and see what happens.
    Dont mind losing the passes, but would still like to use the box for uk catch up tv.
