    Setanta still broadcasting on Eircom's Sportshub online. Similar scenario as with UPC in that Eircom haven't said what's happening with Setanta from today.

    I'm not a subscriber with Setanta on satellite but ESPN is still available on Sky 417 and now ESPN HD on 433. You needed a Sky HD sub to view this channel previously. Is this part of the free day that BT Sport are doing today?

    So, according to BT Sport twitter account, today's coverage is free and available on Sky 413. I could set the City Bayern game to record so hopefully it'll record.

    Correct and not correct. BT Sports will not be available directly in that BT no longer has a Broadband presence in the R.O.I. But they have done a deal with Setanta to carry the channels. Setanta provide access to their content via Sky, UPC and Eircom.

    Its been called Premier Sports for Months from around April of this year

    No need to change it as would confuse customers
    Sky and UPC both still use Setanta Sports 1
    on the Epg

    Record should work but I doubt it will play
    after 12.45am play back
    But it should work up to 12.45am August 2

    I cant say for sure on that as I have subscribed with Setanta and I have the channel because of my subscription

    Its possible BT Sport has made the 3 channels free to view today as if you can view ESPN now and not with setanta then there for now free to view and then at 6pm bt sport 1 and 2 will be available

    I know it has been like that but its a completely stupid set-up, called one thing on the epg and another on screen .. its a ridiculous situation. They should change the name to Premier and be done with it, its actually extremely amateurish... put it this way sky sports would never ever do it.

    Its only sky tonight UK/Ireland

    Freeview in UK and BT itself

    6PM BT Sports starts
    ends at 12.45am the free to View

    I don't know if at 6PM UPC you get BT Sport
    Only way to find out is at 6PM if its on to view on UPC but I doubt it will

    If you have Sky system you will be able to tune in and watch for free tonight Freesat possible might work also but cant say for sure but I expect it would work
