What the feck has saorview got to do with sky sports and sky boxes ?

Sky doesn't have anything to do with Saorview.

Is either of the Sky boxes connected to your TV?

Sky Sports is a pay channel. It is encrypted to stop people watching for free.

Saorview has FREE channels only.

You cannot get Sky Sports on a Saorview box.

You could either get an extra Sky box for that TV which would mean a monthly multi-room fee, or you could get a TV Eye system like this: http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&searchTerms=sky+eye&authToken=

So you thought you should be able to pick up sky sports on saorview ? SIGH

Sky sports is broadcast from NI on the freeview platform, it can be accessed by paying a sub to get it, afaik it can only be done through Bt vision.

So not on the Freeview platform then.

as im sure your aware i meant it is broadcast across the air like freeview, some freeview/saorview boxes will see it but afaik it can only be accessed by people who subscribe to bt vision.

And Top Up TV too. Look, in the absence of the OP being very clear what he's talking about, I'm gonna have to close this thread. It doesn't belong in Cable, at any rate.
