    I have noticed that here in NI RTE2 coverage of Euro 2016 is geo-blocked on Sky and Freeview (NIMM) probably due to UK rights being held by BBC/ITV. Is this the same on Saorsat as I know some CL soccer games have been geo-blocked on it recently? Those with Saorsat only who are football fans already cannot watch some matches as they're only on TV3. Are they being frustrated altogether with no football whatsoever?

    Saorsat working fine for Euros

    I watched the first hour of the opening game France V Romania on Saorsat RTE2 HD, no problem.

    Also have access to BBC 1 HD and ITV 1 HD on Freesat, no shortage of Football.

    Yes excellent.

    However we must of put a spook on Saorsat, signal went on all Saorsat channels just before kick off for Ireland V Sweden today.
    I wasn't home but got the call from home, they watched the first half on BBC, said the signal was back on Saorsat at half time.
