Sky is a platform which channel owners choose whether or not to be present on.  Given the Republic is the one of the smallest countries in Europe by population count it is extremely financially challenging for any commercial channel to operate there, particularly when paying the satellite owners (not Sky) for carriage, because they can only offer advertisers very limited audience figures.

Republic of Ireland 

All Sky devices be it Sky/SkyHD/Sky+/Sky Q/Sky Glass/Stream and Sky Go

ITV and Channel 5  are not allowed to be listed on Sky EPG in Republic of Ireland  as broadcast rights are with Virgin Media Ireland

 

Virgin Media Ireland channels has the broadcast rights to ITV Content in Republic of Ireland

This is why ITV channels are not listed on Sky EPG in Republic of Ireland and also why itvx is not available.

Virgin Media 3 used to be known as be3 and before this was known as UTV Ireland

 

July 2016, ITV plc announced that it had sold UTV Ireland to TV3 Group , a division of Virgin Media

Ireland ,

 

Virgin Media One Ireland broadcasts ITV content examples Emmerdale /Coronation Street/Britain's got Talent/I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here etc

 

 

You will see in list below lots shows that are from ITV and Channel 5

Virgin Media Channels in Republic of Ireland

Virgin Media One

Virgin Media Two

Virgin Media Three

Virgin Media Four

 

The above Virgin Media channels are on Sky Ireland EPG

Sky didn't get rid of any channels, Brexit did. Many channels were removed from the Irish EPG when the UK fully left the EU on 31st December 2020.

 

This is because when the UK was in the EU it was really easy to broadcast in Ireland too, no additional licence was required to broadcast in Ireland (or any other EU country), but now extra licences are needed making it more expensive and complicated especially for smaller channels.

Re: Not getting channels in Ireland

@xenon81 

Has nothing to do with Brexit

 

ITV and 5 channels have not been on Sky Ireland EPG since 2006 

 

Virgin Media Ireland has the broadcast rights for ITV content for a good view years as long before Brexit happened.

The same applies to Channel 5 content

 

A Sky Satellite Box you can tune into ITV Channels and Channel 5 by adding to other channels but won't be listed on Sky Ireland EPG it's also been that way since 2006

 

Note

Sky Glass/Sky Stream is not a Satellite service so will only have channels listed on Sky Ireland EPG 

As it not a satellite service you won't have option to add channels manually

 

Virgin Media Ireland Channels 1/2/3/4 are on Sky Ireland EPG those channels broadcast ITV content in Republic of Ireland

RTÉ Channels also broadcast some BBC/Channel 5 content at various times

 

BBC 1/2/3/4 and Channel 4 channels are also on Sky Ireland EPG

 

Premier Sports is available on Sky Ireland Satellite EPG and Sky Ireland Glass/Stream EPG in Republic of Ireland has the broadcast rights for FA Cup for a good view years which is why they used the ITV broadcast today.

Certainly, but I suspect that's where the impression comes from.

Rewind Tv

Would be nice to see Rewind Tv launch on Sky stream/glass. It's launched on channel 190 on Sky Q.  Some very good classic tv. Hopefully Rewind Tv and Sky can come to an agreement soon.

Re: Rewind TV

I have SkyQ and can't access Rewind TV new channel, just says there is a technical fault and has been since launch. No issue with any other channel, even turned the box off and did a reboot but nothing !

 

Anyone else having issues?

Re: Rewind Tv

I agree @Jason+Golding it seems very odd especially that stream and glass are the future
