    I noticed this article being debated on a rival site. What do people generally think about this? Is it likely to go ahead? If it does it would be a blow for the FTA providers, 3 less channels and significant ones at that. Even a FTV card wouldn't get the channels so it would be a big backward step in comparison to the great things that have happened in the last six or seven years with regard to channel availability to us in Ireland.:mad:

    True, but if they go Pay TV on Sky it may mean they (re)appear on the Irish Sky EPG, so they can be recorded using Sky+.

    Highly unlikey for the same reason that Channel 6 doesn't appear on the UK EPG.

    I think you will find that Channel 6 does appear on the Irish EPG. Have a look for it. It doesn't appear on the UK EPG due to rights and so on.

    I wonder what the implications for Freesat would be?

    Channel 6 is now known as 3e. Channel 182 on Sky.
