    wtf no more PPV on youtube too? **** the UFC, seriously.

    Blame eir and virgin media

    Eir for paying to have McGregor's fights exclusive to them

    Virgin Media for failing to come up with a deal to have eir on their platform

    Nothing to do with the ufc


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,733 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Its all Virgins fault for not agreeing a deal, if sky could they could they obviously wouldnt pay up and now they just screwed themselves the amount of people who cancelled would be through the roof id imagine, i know my parents cancelled out of principle, and judging by boards a hell of a lot more people did!

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

    If you have Sky, then you can subscribe to the Eir Sport package for 2 months which will cost €50 in total.

    €50 is the same price as the PPV in other European countries, so it is much the same. You just won't get the Fightpass Prelims, although you don't get those if you buy the PPV anyway. You have to have a Fightpass Subscription too.

    What I'm trying to find out though is this:

    If I subscribe to the Eir Sport package with my Sky viewing card, watch the fight on Saturday, and then cancel on Monday within the cooling off period, do I get my money back?

    So you're asking can you watch if for free? I'd imagine the answer to that questions is no, and rightfully so.

    Either way I'm ordering it and cancelling it once I've watched the fight.

    I just don't know what the process is by law in terms of refunds when it's cancelled within the cooling off period:

    http://www.consumerhelp.ie/your-rights-online
    http://www.consumerhelp.ie/services-contracts

    My understanding is the same as yours. I don't think you get your money back based on the supply of services within that period.

    Afaik with eir sport you're in a minimum 2 months contract..

    The second they supply with and you subsequently watch the service, you're paying for 2 months.. I think..

    Yeah it is the 2 months, so €50 in total.

    That's the bit I wasn't sure about, but I'm pretty sure it's as soon as you're able to watch the service, they've provided the service, and so you pay anyway.

    If you know anybody that has sky and has been signed up to setanta you can watch it online via setantago. Each sky card number gives you access on 2 different devices.


  • Registered Users Posts: 423 ✭✭seiphil


    So... I have a laptop and I have a sky card of a mate. Can I sign up to setantago with this?

    Providing he has Setanta Yes. You will also need the phone number he used to sign up and possibly the email.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭gar32


    Simple misunderstand :)

    So only thing on fightpass tonight is the fightpass exclusive prelims? Or are they still showing the prelimary card on fightpass also? or is prelims also BT exclusive?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,415 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    FightPass Prelims only i think. BT has the undercard.

    Will this work for the main event if I don't have Sky, Eir, (I'm with Virgin)?

    It didn't ask for Sky number or Eir. Just credit card. BT Sport 2 working fine.
