    TV3 demanded they be the most derivative import dominated channel on the EGP so they blocked it.

    If you don't have sky but have an iPad or iPhone download the FilmOn Live TV app (free app) and you can watch C5 on that.

    Nothing to do with TV3 (this time...) . Channel 5 were on air nearly twelve months before TV3 and since then have never showed any interest in broadcasting in ROI. Indeed they objected to RTÉ broadcasting in NI and managed to get Home and Away and other programming blocked in NI.

    They have it for android too, works even on lower versions like 2.1 which was surprising :)
