Sly will certainly do deals for subscribers who mention Eir and potentially moving away from Sky.

Just wondering if Eir are doing any offers for Sky customers who want to subscribe on an annual sub? Seems like €199 is the best offer so far? Anyone go down this route as a Sky customer?

Also interested in this, might get it in this weekend for the start of the football again. It's actually very difficult to find a link on their website to sign up if you don't want to get broadband with them, quite frustrating :mad:

Hi all, I posted here a while ago about having a Sky box etc but not having a card. I've tried the suggested routes of contacting Sky, Eir to try and get a card but have had no luck. Sky don't want to know unless I purchase a package and Eir tell me that it's Sky I need to contact (which is fair enough).

Is there any legal route online that I can purchase a card, activate/pair it to my box myself, so I can then register it with Eir and thus get the channels on my TV?

Was it Eir you contacted or Eir Sport?

Eir can't help (and obviously haven't a clue) but Eir Sport should have cards as they were issuing Sky cards themselves to non-Sky subscribers when they were Setanta.

that's correct they are uk cards with uk epg and thus cannot be used for the eir pack

Your account number was sent to you by email when you first signed up. You would have got the email about 24 hours after signing up.

I have a UK Sky card with my box. BT Sports etc are on the listings, however, Eir Sport 1 & 2 are not. How do I add Eir Sport 1 and 2 to the listings before I enter the code on the eir website so they then unlock for me.

Cheers for that! Tried it however when I hit search I get a "No signal found" message. Bearing in mind I've all the free view channels no problem able to view so this message perplexes me. It's a sky+ hd box.

Don't think you can with a UK card

if you have the broadband through eircom and sky is coming through the dish and sky - I understood you need the eir login to access the channels - how does adding a broadcast code to the sky box identify you?

You login to the eir sport website and enter your Sky viewing card number on their registration/sign-up page. This will then activate the channels on your Sky box shortly thereafter

If you have eir as a business account can you get it on sky tv at home ? or does it have to be a household account ?

I'd guess domestic/home only as business would be priced differently/have different terms.. but no harm trying it

Can't get it on a business account.

You have to use Internet Explorer on windows to watch it but it is keeps freezing and even refreshing the page doesn't work it is unwatchable.

If you have Eir broadband that should not be a problem. Call them.

ronanc1000 · 14-08-2016 11:15PM

Anyone here using a sky box with the FTA channels as well as getting the EiR Sports pack through their box?

Currently using a UK viewing card in the box. Got an Irish card however it isn't paired with the box (so the message tells me) so do I need to get the card paired with the box before this will work?
