    For British customers they have an app for iPhone, just checked the App Store and nothing there for us Irish folk. It's not on Sky Go either but they've removed ESPN. Is it even possible to watch online? Laptop or tablet, whichever. It's really make or break for me. Will I be able to stream online through the BT Sport website itself with my Sky iD?

    Popped off an email there to Setanta, don't expect a reply to be honest. For me it would be very handy to be able to watch on ipad or iphone as I work most Saturdays but I'd be surprised if we do get anything online.

    BT Sport iPhone and iPad app is only possible to use in the UK
    Its only available to BT Customers who have BT TV or BT Broadband Service from BT

    Its not available to sky users unless they have BT Account and are getting one of there services of TV Phone or Broadband from BT

    This will not be available in Rep of Ireland as BT TV/Broadband/Phone is UK only

    The app asks you to enter your BT Account login details

    Oddly enough, Setanta do offer an online streaming service to their UK Premier Sports customers, there was an Irish version at one stage IIRC but it doesn't seem to exist any more.

    Plus side, we can view BT Sports on multiple boxes, which UK customers aren't allowed to do for some reason best known to BT.

    I think its better we keep to one BT Sports thread so maybe we'll continue the discussion here:
