    I don't think I can take much more of Stuart Barnes. Painful.

    Barnes is one of the shining lights in their coverage.

    H
    DVB-S2

    I added them earlier without any problems... you might have to delete all ITV4 HD's from other channels and start again.

    Not a Barnes fan in general, but he's holding the show together.

    I used to dislike Stuart Barnes. After listening to himself and McNamara together, I couldn't wait to hear more of Barnes.

    Commentators for the French game are desperate.

    Joubert pinged a french player for kicking the ball out of the SH's hand at the back of the scrum and being offside.

    Commentators: "Not sure what is happening here", when Joubert clearly called it.

    And one of them called Sergio Parisse Luca Parisse earlier too :(

    You'd think RTE would have had this, ya know seeing as they get free money off everyone in the country.

    AFAIK RTE didn't stump up. Open to correction.

    The RTÉ Sport department has been decimated in terms of budget - TV3 had spare cash after losing Emmerdale and Coronation Street to UTVI ... they just couldn't compete with TV3 I think.

    What are you on about? France Italy match is on right now and it's basically an ITV stream on TV3. Nothing to do with TV3 whatsoever.

    Except not at all like ITV - ITV have completely different commentators to TV3 at the minute. TV3 using the IRB World English Commentary feed I think.

    I'm not sure RTÉ ever really had any competition for their sports rights so they probably never had to actually bid that much for anything.

    You mean to say that Miles Harrison is working exclusively for TV3 for the World Cup . . .?

    EDIT: Sorry, didn't see you mention the world commentary feed.

    For the RWC they definitely have - Setanta Sports won full rights for the last few... TV3 (2007) and RTÉ (2011) came to an agreement with Setanta to broadcast about 15 games.... the Irish games and the latter stages.

    Setanta had the Rugby World Cup?

    I'm curious if TV3 hopes to build viewership from the RWC exposure or just capitalise on advertising? I'd watch TV3 from time to time and you'd be used to the ads but today was far worse. It's a sure fire way to lose viewers, whatever about advertisers. Maybe they'll wise up and tone it down.

    TV3s coverage is trash. Their sport coverage is just so poor.

    Wow. I was in Scotland during the 2007 one so I must have been watching ITV. Don't remember the 2011 one except it was all on very early. Probably had ITV then too though.

    TV3 is **** all year round. It's ITV Ireland, full of ****ty English programs and stinking celebrity crap. I barely ever watch it. It's no real surprise that their coverage of the World Cup is crap. I suppose it's hard to make it good when you have so many ads.

    ITV coverage is just fine, I can live with the ads when they appear on that channel.

    The way they cut straight to an ad break within seconds of the final whistle is very irritating

    They have obviously sold that advertisement space at a premium - I agree very annoying!

    I feel like smashing Matt Coopers face and ripping his sarcastic little voice out at this stage.

    Who thought
    "hey we need a rugby pundit"
    "oh wow lets get Matt Cooper"

    Nobody ever that's who.
