3pm Kick off on Sky UK

ThePope27 — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 12:29:33 GMT

Im subscribed to premier sports and I found a little bug/ something thats not intentional, If i manually add Premier Sport 1 and 2 Ireland (12188 H DVB-S2/8PSK 27500 2/3) to my UK Sky Q box it allows me to view it on my UK Card, this is an issue as Premier Sport 1 Ireland shows 1x 3PM Premier League game on a Saturday. I can tell its the irish channel as Premier Sport 1 UK is showing something different compared to Premier Sport 1 Ireland and also Premier Sport UK is on a different transponder to the Irish channels

So you really want to report a little loophole that some people may be using and enjoying? What a strange thing to do...

Yes I do, its not really a little loophole is it?

Its a breach of Premier Legaue TV blackout.

It's a little (accidental I assume) loophole which yes breaches a blackout that is a massively outdated restriction. Why does it harm you if others watch live at 3pm on a Saturday?

Because its a breach of the 2:45 - 5:15 blackout rule,

Premier Sports could be fined massively for allowing this to happen.

Its like Sky in uk showing a 3pm KO, its not allowed and the PL will fine them or potentially remove their broadcasting rights.

Just wait, now that premier are back fully in charge, they'll probably see to it that no one can watch these games, whether eligible or not.

I think they have the rights till 2026, prior to Premier Sports having the rights I think Sky Sports PL Ireland had the rights. We will see soon enough if it gets patched or is still open. I'm guessing premier sports just send 1 entitlement to the card and it allows both regions of channels.

What is interesting is that the image is of a commercial subscription broadcast not domestic, you can tell by the glass pint symbol

Excellent! Glad it's still available for the fans, and good you've publicised it a bit on the forum so a few more people will realise and be able to watch. 😁

There's 2 versions of Premier Sport 1 Ireland and Premier Sport 2 Ireland when you manually tune, one shows the pint glass one doesn't show the pint glass.

Same as sky sports and BT sports if you manually tune, one shows the pint glass one doesn't.
