    Not cheap at all... Its based on turnover

    Sky’s subscription rates for pubs work on the basis of the business’s turnover. There are six different rates and pubs will be charged depending on how much money they make each year. The top rate, for pubs which turn over more than €1.27 million per year, is €2,002 per month for Sky’s Ultimate Package which includes BT Sport and Premier Sport. For Eir Sport it’s another €500 per month meaning that, over a year, a large pub will be forking out more than €30,000 to show all available live sport.

    On the other end of the scale, a small pub which turns over less than €190,500 every year will pay €932 per month or €11,184 per year and that’s before they decide whether or not to add on Eir Sport. Incidentally, for any pubs planning to open early to show the Rugby World Cup, Eir is the only broadcaster showing all 48 matches

    Hope it helps.

    €340 would set you up nicely with a Iptv box and subscription or you could put up a second dish aimed at hotbird 13.0e, enigma 2 receiver,and euro sub . All those fights are on TVP sport poland. Hell you could even get some of your polish friends to bring down their receiver and legit card. a lot of them have brought them over from home.;)

    and if found out Sky can and have brought Irish pubs to court for this.

    Agreed. UrbanFret banned for 48 hours for discussing piracy.

    And a general word. Most people who do pirate do so in the comfort of their own home where it’s unlikely any action will be taken against them. But the OP is a business, and as the previous poster pointed out, Sky can and do take enforcement action against businesses. Either way, there is no encouraging people to flout the law.
