I'm just off the phone to Eir Sport.

It can't be added on if you are part of the FREE BT offer with Eircom.

Only way around it is to pay the €25 a month sub, then €10 a month for the extra box. So €35 it would cost.

What a load of bollox to be honest.

Not my experience. I rang eir sport. They added me with my new sky q box. No issues and no charge

I have it on my new sky q box. But not on the mini sky q box. That box has no sky card which is the main problem. And they want to charge me then for it as it isn't free with eir. Some joke!

I'm entitled to it for free.

But you're getting it for free, they just haven't figured out the non card issue yet I'd imagine.

Same as when I couldn't get the app working on my android TV stick, but could get it on the laptop

But they can charge me for BT on my sky q mini box, so I can't see why they can't just put it on and not charge a fee. Makes no sense.

If I was willing to pay, I'd have it on my sky q mini box in a matter of seconds.

Can someone confirm if they have an android box hooked up to their tv that eir sports app works with in the last month or so?

Just looking to see which device i should get I dont want to use my laptop to view these channels anymore and i have the extra slot to be able to add another device

Hi there thinking of doing this too, can anyone update if the boxes that work the app have changed, don't want to buy a box that doesn't work, and I'd be pretty conscious of doing it legally, and have to wait a month to remove it if doesn't work

My sky viewing card was working fine, now it's saying it's the wrong one inserted??
Can I get a replacement card even though I no longer have sky sub?

Yup. Ring eir sports. The number is back a few pages and they will send you one.

Its happened to me a couple of times. I just contacted support on email and they did it for me. They'll probably say its not Eir's problem first off.......Stick at them.

That happens when you leave box powered off for a long while. Leave box on over night and all should be fine tomorrow

Is this offer continuing this year? i.e. if I had free sports via eircom internet last season will it continue to next or will they change the offer?

Surely considering the price of their broadband is way dearer because of it.

This is probably common knowledge now, but Eir Sport is available to cast via Chromecast now. It's working very well. Excellent quality on the BT Sport channels and stable.

Only found that out today, agree, its excellent quality, I only had one disconnect from chromecast after watching it all morning. Very pleased with the app now, shame not many bother updating their ratings on Google play.

I've found the app is constantly crashing on Android. I uninstalled it & reinstalled to see if it helps & now I'm locked out, too many devices registered!!

Got the notification from the app for Chromecast, excellent addition to the app, works really well.

Any chance there's a way to watch Eir/BT Sports on a Saorview/Freesat box? Getting rid of my Sky but still an Eircom Broadband customer

Buy a chromecast and cast from the eir Sport app.

Boots234 · 06-10-2017 02:52PM

Just coming up to a year now with this offer, has there been any talk of BT starting to charge for this service or when will it be coming to an end?

Well they are heavily promoting the fact eir and BT sport are now also free with mobile phone only contracts with eir since they re-branded from meteor so I doubt it will be ending anytime soon.

Interesting, just got Sky back so take it this is still available?

Question. If you pay for eir sports on sky platform do you get access to the eir sports app?
Thanks,
