    Just to update - RTE's highlights of the Solheim Cup (Sky had exclusive UK rights) was 'in the clear' for Sky Digital viewers here in NI. BTW it was excellent coverage as well.

    Now if only they'd do the same for Premier Soccer Saturday!

    And Champions league and ROI Qualifiers! HEC rugby highlights are now with TG4 so I don't expect them to be blacked out as Irish language rights extend to the whole of the island.

    Wednesday's RTE2 coverage of CL was not blacked out in NI. AFAIK it usually is.

    Premier Soccer Saturday on RTÉ 2 was available up here in the 'North' for the past 2 weeks, but blocked again tonight. :(

    Yes disappointed to see that. Wonder if Mini-mux (RTE1/2 and TG4 from NI DTT transmitters) will do this after DSO next year?

    If they block it on Sky then I imagine it will be the same via DTT.

    Unfortunately this is likely to be the case, unless by then some new arrangement can be applied whereby RTÉ would have 'island of Ireland' rights, just as TG4 have for irish language programs.

    At least TG4 have HC rugby highlights which should mean they're 'in the clear' via Sky. Only programme I can remember being blacked out on TG4 here in NI (though there were probably others and my memory isn't great) was believe it or not 'Dukes of Hazzard' a few years ago.
