    They've also extended their F1 rights through to 2018, the last season before Sky's five year exclusive deal kicks in.

    Eir sports website advertising 42 PL games for coming season. Has Sky Sports not acquired rights to live Saturday afternoon PL matches in ROi or does this refer to BT Sports coverage which is part of the Eir sports package?

    Eir sports have exclusive rights to Rugby world cup 2019

    I am sure ITV will have it also for those not wanting to pay for it.

    Hey hey, free sports for all eir broadband customers, quite pleased with this. Although apparently some people have received price increases in the post this morning too (€7 per month!), so that's less good...

    Not all customers, at least without cost.
    I cannot avail of this as I do not have a Sky subscription nor do I have a MAC or Win computer.
    So I would have to fork out for one or the other apparently ...... so not free for me ;)

    Couldn't see RTE or TV3 having much interest in all the RWC games in Japan due to the times the matches will be shown here anyway. They'd be much happier going for the Irish matches, and the odd knockout match.

    Strange the way it took ages to sort out the RWC 2015 rights, yet the Japan one is sorted 3 and a half years away from the tournament.

    The Eir channels both working, but BT still saying "You have not subscribed to this channel", even though they're supposed to be live now?

    Is Eir Sports 1 staying as part of Virgin Media's basic pack?

    That I suspect is part of the discussions between Eir and Virgin at the moment...

    I'm a SKy TV and BB customer and also pay extra for Eir sports. €40 per month for BB at the moment so the offer of Eir BB at €25 is tempting. However it then jumps to €70 p/m after the initial 3 month period. Ouch. Will stay put I think.

    I wonder how long Eir Sport 1 will remain on Virgin Channel 105? I can't see it lasting there too long, perhaps TV3+1 will move into it's spot.

    My mother has Eir Fibre broadband but has no interest in sports. Could she give them my Sky card number and get me free sports channels?

    I wonder how this will affect eir sports on Vodafone TV ? Both channels in HD today rebranded to eir on screen, but still listed as Setanta on the EPG.

    if you take up the free setanta pack offer on the sky platform from eir it is a new 18 month contract.

    I knew that there had to be a snag .

    Not a big deal IMO if you're not long into an existing contract or have no plans to switch which, unless you live in an UPC/Virgin area, I can't really see a reason for myself - the rest are generally reselling eir BB anyway

    There was an option in form to add to another room. No mention of cost/etc when doing that either...

    Don't think that's confirmed or even close to the mark, think it was someone in the Irish Times putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5, assuming that BT had the UK rights since Eir had the Irish rights. There's nothing on the BT website and the link that comes up on google saying BT have the rights only comes up with the story about Eir geting the Irish rights.

    I wonder Will Eir be contacting existing customers subscribed to Setanta Sports using Sky about the changeover to Eir Sports
    I not had any emails or letter in the post about the change has anyone been contacted about the change

    I already had my Direct debit taken for This Month and is listed as Setanta Sports in my Bank Account
