I'm using an old out of subscription Grundig box. I tuned it in manually during the week on "Other channels". Up to yesterday 424 was giving me a "Channel not available" message.

Maybe tune it manually first and then try 424. I could be wrong but it's worth a try.

Any idea of frequency fec etc?

What channel is this on on Freesat? Tried 252 but saying not available?

Have to tune it manually or do a scan and save it as a FTA favourite if your box allows that

My phrasing may have steered you in the wrong direction, so to be clear -

As per Wikipedia, Premier Sports has rights to 15 NHL games a week.

However, due to slots available Premier are only ever able to show 12 of these live. The other three have traditionally just been shown on a delay, But now, these additional three games can be shown on FreeSports.

The usual main 12 picks will remain on Premier, the extra three games go onto Freesports.

NRL will remain on Premier, save for occasional simulcasts like this morning. There won't be a 50-50 split, and they won't be moving one of their strongest subscriber performers off Premier onto a free channel.

NRL, NHL, NASCAR, GAA and (to a lesser extent) speedway are the sports that drive subscriptions for the channel, and won't be moving across. Even freeview periods get heavily criticised by subscribers.

If they get the rights to Copa Libertadores, then this will live on FreeSports, as there will not be people signing up to Premier to watch it. The Copa Lib did spectacularly for Premier when they had the rights first, around 2010-12, but with matches delayed due to NHL for their second spell as rights-holder over the last two years, the competition generated little interest.

For various reasons, Premier/Setanta been able to pick up rights to sports outside of these, either due to convenience, the channel owner's preferences or a side-deal alongside their providing of world feeds for different sports.

These events will be on FreeSports, and will yield an audience there that they would not be able to on Premier.

Yea I say it will be fine during the season for NHL, I will be glad to see them but playoffs will not be on it so that will be a major loss for me

Cardiff-Liberec? They sound Welsh, but not strongly-accented and they're excellent.

Re: Freesports carriage on Virgin Media UK

The channel was due to make a deal with Virgin but it is apparently delayed until further notice.

Virgin Media's logo is still there on the FreeSports website as of today with the letters TBC underneath it.

All mentions of Virgin Media now removed from the website.

You are saying that NHL and Rugby League will stay on premier only when they have already advertised that they will be showing NRL games live and at least 3 NHL games a week when the season starts up again in October.

They will also be showing speedway and other motorsport.

now up on sky uk epg according to their twitter page.

I suspect they'll only turn up the PQ when it's on the SKY/Freesat epg.

Dindane

Quite a few chances to the opening week's schedule.

Junior Tour of Ireland cycling is currently on instead of the FA Cup programme, but that's alright for me. They're showing it before TG4, who normally have it.

Picture quality is horrific, most dodgy streams are better than that, and I am by no means a picture quality snob

The picture quality is dire. They really would want to get it sorted.

According to a user on Digital Spy, Sky are holding things up.

Seemingly it has failed to appear on the UK Sky EPG this morning, though can be manually tuned. Not sure what the issue is.
