    I wonder if this mad splurge of FTA football is going to have any effects. Will this create a demand that cannot be satisfied under the current contract but which might create pressure come the next talks. Could there be a "barker" channel match list on Pick mainly of the WBA v Southampton variety to keep everyone happyish. Would ITV have any interest (maybe not as they haven't bothered getting on board this unusual Covid train)? The BBC won't as they do not want to give hostages to fortune in the licence fee argument.

    There’s finally a list of the Premier Sports fixtures until the end of the month. It’s not a very long list mind you, but basically confirmed that they have the 3pms (not that there is many, er, one) and the BBC and Amazon games. The mystery is why they have three games that are on Sky and I can only think that these might be fixtures which they had already picked and they get to keep.

    The Irish version of pick is by default on the sky epg . There is no Irish version of pick on the Freesat platform.

    So if you have a sky box and want to watch the football you will have to tune it in on other channels

    So someone with an ordinary Sky sub (variety/basic) wont be able to view the football on Pick (Ch. no. 159) unless they get Pick through other channels?

    They will - they can watch on Sky One, in HD if they have a HD sub

    Needing to resort to Other Channels / Manual Tuning effects a very specific category of people who are not Sky subscribers but are using a Sky box - as was pointed out to me earlier in this thread, that would include some eir Sport subscribers who are ex-Sky customers or who were issued with a viewing card specifically to watch Setanta from back in the days when Setanta could do that.

    Correct - I should of mentioned sky 1 but they did just make reference to Pick

    Thanks for that.

    Am I right in saying that only a couple of the matches are being shown on Sky One though?

    The reason I ask is I have a mate / neighbour who has the very basic sub with Sky (no HD afaik) and I know he wouldnt be able to tune anything into other channels. I could probably pop round and do that for him but then accessing it would probably be another issue for him. He's one of these guys that just refuses to learn to move with the times.

    Another little question is in the absence of a HD sub with Sky is Pick SD on a different channel? I think 159 is now the HD version of it.

    All of the matches on Pick are also on Sky One.

    In Ireland there’s only one version of Pick on the Sky EPG which is SD.

    I'm surprised Premier Sports haven't included their Matchweek fixtures for 33-35 which were selected for broadcasting yesterday https://www.premierleague.com/news/1682467

    It's good they have the 4 Amazon games, but the first 3 matches are...

    C Palace v Burnley
    Everton v Southampton
    Watford v Newcastle

    Interesting that all the Sat 3pms in the U.K. are on BT Sport, at least those announced so far. Wonder if that’s by design on the basis that Premier Sports and BT Sport form part of the same subscription in Ireland.

    I'd say Sky had no interest as they will be showing a championship match at 3pm on a Saturday.

    Hi all hopefully someone can help. I tried watching last nights Norwich Southampton match on tv with fta satellite tuner. Pick had encrypted message when I tried to watch it.

    what type of receiver is it?

    I have no issue tuning Pick onto my Triax combo receiver and my TV's FTA sat receiver.
