Not for me it isn't. I have added 2 VM Sport HD Channels via manual tuning on 11.641 H DVB S2 8PSK 23000 2/3 and both ask me to upgrade my subscription. I subscribe already to Premier Sports and have Eir Sports 1 as a bonus channel on my epg.

Strange - I tried it before and it didn’t work so on the off chance last Wednesday I re tuned them in - got a choice of two vm sport channels saved them and watched the game.

In the clear last night as well for the europa league games

Just to add can you check does it clear when there’s not a live game on

Interseting that Eir Sport advertise their full sports package including VM Sport in Ulster Rugby match programme tonight. Yet this is not officially available for N. Ireland viewers.

It is available for three of the nine counties in Ulster.

Virgin sport Not in the clear tonight

Interesting scheduling by eir Sport tonight, scheduling West Brom v Newcastle on the more widely available eir Sport 1 and reserving the more attractive clash of Chelsea v Liverpool to eir Sport 2, making it only available to eir broadband customers.

Of course this might be just prudent given many will just watch Chelsea v Liverpool on BBC anyway. But is it an indication that eir Sport 2 might be used as more than just an overspill channel in future?

and eir sport xtra had the reading game.

Betting sites no longer have the exclusivity of the extra games so the FA had to show it somewhere. It was also on the BBC iPlayer.

What is that?

just to say that virgin media sport is in the clear on other channels on a NI skybox with a PS sub - currently watching the spurs in BT9

previous post by myself

i have a premier sport subscription on a sky box in NI - i have virgin media sport saved in other channels and the odd time the CL and Europa laegue matches are available to view and not blocked out as BT sport have the UK rights to these tournaments.

so last night i was able to watch the man utd game and wolves game while i was self isolating

Does anybody know the number for Eir Sport? I subscribe to it for my Sky box, but I want to cancel

Cancel it as soon as you can.

Its a waste of money until normal service has resumed and we dont even know when any Sport will be back.

I cancelled my Eir yesterday. I was going to cancel anyway as my 6 months at 14.99 had run out and I wasn't paying 30 quid for it.

They tried to offer me 14.99 for 9 months to stay. No chance.

I'm half way through a 9.99 for 6 months offer. Was planning on cancelling anyway. Were you on hold for long yesterday?

I cancelled my Eir Broadband two weeks ago - I was getting Eir Sport & VM Sport for free through my Sky box, which I presumed would cease with the broadband but I'm still receiving the channels.

Just wondering if I need to call and cancel the channels too or is it an oversight on their part?
I don't want a bill for the channels arriving next month.

My sports channels were on for several days after I left Eir so I wouldnt be in a hurry to get rid of them.... not that there's anything worth watching. You wont be charged or at least I wasnt. If they continue to provide you with sports after you have cancelled down the BB then thats their problem.

I have a relation who signed up for the multiroom on another family member's account and still has it after 3 years even though he was never with Eir and the other family member has changed provider twice

I see Eir are showing some cracking retro games over the next few weeks. I wont lie Im tempted to take a sub for this reason. Its crazy they are charging €20 a month for it though. The activation fee is also ridiculous. I know crazy thoughts going on.

If you subscribe to Eir Sports on sky they will provide you with the Eirsport app which means you can get Eir sports 2 & Virgin media sports.

Can't believe they are still taking money off people for this. What on earth are they showing ? Belorussian soccer ?

VMS has been off air on Sky since the champions league broadcast started 45 minutes ago. Test card on the screen.
