Live Games comming up on Premier Sports and TNT - this version seems to work
It's since the they're using the UK feed, before then both 1 and 2 had a 13-day window
How come it only affects Premier 2 though? Premier 1 has listings for next week up.
No this is normal - they tend to put the whole month up, in one go (the web page can only display 13 days).
So the July one will run out on July 31 also.
Not sure to read anything into it but the Premier Ireland website once again is not showing any schedule for Premier 2 past Sunday - the day before Wimbledon starts.
Some stuff comming up on Sports Extra. Posted this from a Spreadsheet - looked great in Windows - but not in Google for Android - so reposting as attachment
Arsenal v Wolves Confimed
it’s been fixed now, thank goodness. I don’t know how the UK and ROI versions can have differing EPG schedule if they are the same stream (although it’s a trick Premier used to pull off in the days when they had GAA, UK viewers would have “Live GAA” whereas Irish viewers had “This is Premier Sports 1 HD”).
Also ice hockey fans may be pleased to see that, for the first time in 18 months, live NHL is in the schedule for Saturday night - though it may be depending on results actually the last game of the season as the Stanley Cup can be won by Florida on the night.
Premier League fixtures for 24/25 published - Arsenal v Wolves looks a cert for Premier's 3 pm game
Premier Sports are still submitting two separate sets of TV listings for Premier Sports 2 - when 1 would do. On Saturday the RoI version shows for 20:00 Bike World followed by Swedish Speedway, whereas the UK version has Top 14 SF between Bordeaux and Paris - so that's what going to be on in RoI aswell!
"Live Highlights" - thats an interesting new phrase from the BBC spokesperson to say well we dont actually have much live games but we do have highlights..
On top of their SPFL rights deal Premier have now renewed Scottish Cup rights to 2029, UK and Ireland deal.

They could use that third channel (Freesports/Viaplay Xtra) back. It was closed under Viaplay, but so late that the sale back to Premier was already agreed, so they probably wouldn’t have done it if Premier had wanted it again. Incidentally the name of the UK subsidiary was reverted back to Freesports Limited after the sale went through!
One of the frustrating things about Premier is that in Ireland it’s a strictly linear approach, if you want to catch up something you’ve missed it’s record it if you can or watch one of the admittedly numerous repeats during the week.
To add to the already congested Premier Sports schedules!
"The SPFL and Premier Sports have now signed a five-season contract for Premier Sports to show 20 live Premiership matches per season in the UK and Ireland."
All now in the ROI schedules too.
No sign of a Top 14 final day match (all games kicking off Saturday 8pm) though - looks like ROI viewers will miss out on that with Glasgow v Stormers on Premier 1 and Spain v Northern Ireland (at the unusual kick off time of 8:30pm) on Premier 2. (TV5 will be showing a game for those interested).
Sky UK epg and PS app epg now updated to show all 4 URC quarter finals live on linear channels. 3 Saturday games on PS1and Munster vs Ospreys on PS2.
The Euros are later now than they used to be and that may mean clashes on the BBC - the round of 16 will still be ongoing when Wimbledon commences.
From memory too, premier's coverage can be a bit unpredictable. I'm not sure what kind of world feed it is either. In the past, where possible there seemed to be some effort to show matches other than those covered by BBC but if BBC go a little off script you can find the oddity where one or other show court wasn't showing across any of maybe 4 channels.
They were at least supposed to have three red button streams on Sky last year.
Even better would be some kind of red button coverage for extra streams like they do for the Premier League when they have multiple games to show. It would be especially nice seeing as we still don't access to their online player.
The extra channel for Wimbledon would be more needed this year. The UK election happens slap bang in the middle of the tournament.
Presumably, this years Wimbledon coverage will be confined to Premier 1. Or maybe Premier 2 with UK blackouts like the olden days?
I mean it’s not a huge issue, most people with Premier likely also have BBC, but still.
Premier Sport's 2 'UK' transponder (Previously Viaplay 2) was switched off today leaving just one version of PS2 for Ireland and the UK .
There are still 2 separate transponders for Premier Sport's 1 allowing separate Irish and UK programming.
Sky UK Epg and Premier Sports UK schedule on their app still have no live coverage of Leinster vs Ulster or Glasgow vs Stormers on either of their linear channels.
The EPGs may not have been updated, when you checked.
Munster v Ospreys on Premier Sports 2 (as well as RTÉ 2 and S4C)
Saturdays games all on Premier Sports 1 (both UK and RoI) The two early games also on (TG4) -
Saturdays - International Frendlies had already been scheduled some weeks ago, for Premier Sports 2.
Friday's Scotland Friendly on Premier Sports 1 (but also on BBC Three, and BBC Scotland)
All will be covered by either RTE2 or TG4. Problem may be for viewers in GB who who might have to rely on PS App for Leinster vs Ulster and Glasgow vs Stormers games. According to Sky epg these are not on either PS 1 or PS 2 although this may change as there is no live event on PS1 on schedule for Saturday tea time or Saturday evening.
Noticed that there was no chase play in at least one of the feeds last weekend.
Can you subscribe to the McGregor ppv on the app or is it only through sky?
Looks like Premier Sports will have scheduling issues again next weekend, a lot of Football friendlies on and the URC QF's as well.
Graham Little, of course! My bad.
Is there another Graham Rowntree as Munster coach was surely in Limerick preparing his team for match vs Ulster?
