Is RTE available on Sky if you cancel

[Deleted User] · 2021-02-22 16:22:02

Hello, I want to cancel my Sky sub and just use NowTv for sports. A google suggested to me that I'd then only get RTE through Saorview as it is not a free to air channel via Skybox and dish if the Sky sub is cancelled? Can anyone confirm?

Correct, all the Irish channels are encrypted on Sky, so if you cancel, you lose them and also keep in mind, if you want Virgin Media or TG4 in HD, then its only Sky or other pay TV platforms that supply them in HD.
