    BBC Four is blocked to ROI veiwer.
    Why?
    How come they are allowed to show all the programme
    from BBC FOUR on BBC TWO NI tonight because if BCC
    FOUR can't get right to show in ROI how come they got rigts to show
    BBC FOUR programmes on BBC TWO tonght.
    Prehap they are tying to teases ROI Sky Viewers.
    This is not right.

    Interesting point that you raise regarding the rights issues. However the BBC Four channel has been on SKY EPG for UK Viewers since yesterday, so it was a foregone conclusion that we would not get it over here.
    We have not been receiving BBC Knowledge / Choice / news 24 since BBC 1 and BBC2 was launched here, so in effect no BBC4.
    As for BBC 2 relaying BBC4, well BBC1 does the same with News24 late at night.
    At the end of the day it would appear that for the moment we will have only BBC1 and BBC2.

    what it is down to is Sky sorting out a deal with the BBC for this and other BBC digital channels. we can give out all we want but it is up to Sky to make use of our subscription increase a few months ago for these extra BBC channels
