I've just signed up for the setantago 1 month thing and it doesn't seem to want to load a stream of a channel. Trying a different browser now.

EDIT: It's not working on firefox either. Anyone else having issues getting setanta go to work on Windows 10?

Just bumping this, anyone else having problems with setanta go? Have submitted a ticket and not heard back from them yet

I tried it earlier and when I submitted my details I got an error message. No money has been taken from my account but when I've attempted to repeat the application again it said that my username was already taken.

Ya i tried it in work and got a 'Not available in your region' message.

Just tried it at home and it worked ok.

Using chrome in both places.

What kind of error u getting?

looks like the Setanta Go option is no longer available (for the way virgin customers intended at least).

How virgin have allowed things to get to this stage is outrageous.

I tried it again on Microsoft Edge, the Windows 10 browser and it works. Very weird. Must be silverlight issues with Chrome and Firefox.

Seems to be a very dodgy service though haha

Lads whats the options here now. Setanta go isnt available. If rather find a legal way of watching this . Im more suprised that eir sports didnt leave the option to buy the fight online . Surely its a better option for them to let us purchase the event like on fight pass.

Lads, just tried to get the setanta go (https://www.setantago.com/subscribe/new-customer) and its coming up "the requested page cant be found" on the setanta page. Is this now gone? I have virgin broadband, is this the problem?? Absolute nightmare!!:mad:

I think they have changed their sign-up method. You can no longer sign up with an email address, you need a sky viewing card. I signed up with an email address as soon as I saw it in this thread last week and it works okay for me. I have Virgin broadband as well so I don;t think that's the issue, they just seem to have changed the sign-up mechanism. Not sure why they would require a sky viewing card tbh.

Yeah that is what it looks like. However, it does not tell you how much it costs etc? I dont want a yearly subscription. When you have a look at it there are no subscription options, doest really explain!! Any help or advice on this would be great!!

Watched the last few live on YouTube. HD quality no drop in service and can rewatch as often as you like afterwards. 20 quid iirc.

I would assume that options gone with the blackout, but it should be up in a day or so to actually see.

If i find someone with eir broadband. Do they set up an account to watch online and give me the login details?

Is it that simple?

Can you get it with it through Sky if your with Virgin broadband...? if that makes sense. Like the Eir 2o odd euro

I would guess you can like over here, you can pay BT £20pm to add the sports channels to your sky box if you don't have BT broadband. Eir are pretty much copying BT's tactics so I don't know why they wouldn't include that option.

Call Me Jimmy

I checked the youtube and it said not available in your region.

If its not on fightpass I don't see how itll be on youtube.

Whole loada crap, meaning they most likely wont get my money (which i've been pumping into em the last 6 months between ppvs and fight pass, they've lost it all)

I don't actually know too much about it but when you try to sign up with the new method it brings you to the following page: https://subscribe.eirsport.ie/

the green option on the right offers a €25 monthly contract. You need a sky box number in order to avail of it but I'm sure you could just use a friend's number or whatever. Also you can nominate either 1 or 2 additional devices to use the service through so maybe you could share it with a friend. I haven't looked at this part of the service in the slightest though so can't give much info on it.

ktulu123

Careful with signing up to Eirsport, I think there is a 2 month minimum sign up period.

so just to clarify my friend subscribed to fight pass this week but because we are in Ireland we cant watch the ppv using fightpass ?

Fight pass never included the PPV - it was for prelims and for fight night events. You still had to purchase the PPV sepearately from ufc.tv but that is not possible for UFC202 due to tv rights deals.

deise_boi

Correct, it'll be geoblocked

You could never watch the PPV on fight pass, only fight nights, unfortunately that is no longer an option either until 48 hours after the event. All Fight Pass is now is a fight library and early pre-lims. You get other programming too but that's not what people generally subscribe for.

Does anyone know how to change the stream to high definition on the eir sport web page?

CardinalJ

Is there a simple yes/no answer to if a virgin media customer can legally watch this?

At this point in time. No, there is no way to legally watch it.

No. Afaik you need an Eir Sports subscription. You can add this for free if you have Eir broadband
