First topic message reminder :

The channel is available on Sky and Virgin, but not BT.

The alternative is the app or the website to stream.

These two options however don't allow you to record games.

I'll be interested to see if they add every single game to their On Demand library, and how long after the game has aired will the on demand version be available.

Is anyone switching to Sky or Virgin simply for Premier Sports?

Looks like each of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland are getting their own broadcasting team on Premier once the games start

Isn't that the important thing? Anyone getting their knickers in a twist over a preview show should probably relax a little

No it wasn't. You just can't bring yourself to answer it. As per normal.

Ok well please explain how it's an Irish channel, why they would aim it at an Irish audience and how it was aimed at an Irish audience?

People are worried that the weekly round up / preview show is going to be the same one for viewers in Ireland as it for the UK.

Because it was on Eir sports.

How many of their customers are unhappy? And what are they unhappy about?

That the first 20 mins of the show was purely about Irish teams, there was 10 minutes for all the Welsh regions, the jocks got 4 minutes then the Italians and Saffa clubs got about 2 minutes between them.

Surely if they're big enough fans to subscribe (remember as we've been told by LD only the hardcore will subscribe) then surely they'll be either watching live or on demand the respective games that they are interested in - as such will get full analysis on their own games?

As for the round up show, assume the bigger teams will get the most coverage - see how it works on Match of the Day etc for football, its the Man Utd / City / Arsenal / Liverpool / Spurs / Chelsea games that are inevitably the first shown with the heaviest focus

Its a ratings game - this week you'd expect Ulster v Scarlets or Cardiff v Leinster to get the most coverage as they are by far the most interesting games on paper

I just think you have to give it at least the first weekend before criticising coverage.

I assume you've subscribed and will be watching the games over the weekend? Not just basing it on a "Twitter storm" which can mean 2 bald blokes fighting over a comb

There are plenty Scottish complaining too.

I'm waiting to sign my contract with Premier still, until then the job of their spokesman and production consultant is someone elses job Rolling Eyes

Now who's going to answer my complaint about us Irish fans being short changed by a British broadcaster?

There was a mix last night. It was just a tad lop sided. I'd expect that from the producers of the programme, as it was set to their target audience. But if that happens very week then there is going to be a problem.

Hopefully they've learned a bit in the last 24 hours, but still a bit disappointing that they needed to be told from the off.

A handy guide:


With the new Guinness PRO14 season fast approaching, Edinburgh supporters will be able to follow the action like never before thanks to new host broadcasters, Premier Sports.

All Guinness PRO14 fixtures will be shown live across the Premier Sports network, with one match per round available to watch for free on sister channel FreeSports.

14 of Edinburgh’s matches have been confirmed as being exclusive to Premier Sports so far, with fixtures having been confirmed up until Round 17.

Season Ticket Members will receive information regarding an exclusive Members offer by email this week.

For full information on how to receive and watch your club in action, simply find your provider below:

SKY
Sky TV customers can sign up to Premier Sports for just £9.99 per month, or for an annual cost of £99. There is no connection fee, but customers must have a Sky viewing card – you will need to quote your viewing card number in order for Premier Sports to be added to your package.

To subscribe, visit subscribe.premiersports.tv or call Premier on 0871 663 9000. New customers will be able to claim the first month of their subscription for free.

Premier Sports 1 can be found on channel 412, with Premier Sports 2 on channel 435. Sky subscribers have free access to the standard membership of Premier Player – for more information, please see the section on Premier Player below.

FreeSports is currently available to all Sky customers on channel 422.

PREMIER PLAYER
Viewers without a cable or satellite connection can subscribe to the Premier Player, an online service compatible with smartphones, tablets and laptops with a stable internet connection.

Two subscription packages are available; a Standard Membership costs £9.99 per month, which allows subscribers to access live streaming and seven days of On Demand catch up.

For £11.99 per month, supporters can subscribe to the Premium Membership, which features access to live streaming and the full back catalogue of events previously broadcast on Premier Sports.

Sky customers are automatically provided with a Standard Membership included in the price of subscription to Premier Sports, but can upgrade to a Premium Membership for £2 per month.

The Premier Player is fully compatible with the Google Chromecast device and the Amazon Firestick, allowing supporters to cast the action from their smart device to their TV.

New customers can claim the first month of Premier Player for free, with details to be announced in the coming week.

VIRGIN MEDIA
Virgin Media customers can get Premier Sports 1 and 2 for free until 22 September, providing they own a Virgin Media Box. After this date, there will be a subscription fee of £9.99 per month on a rolling contract with no connection fee. To register, customers can call Virgin Media on 0845 840 7777.

Tivo subscribers can subscribe to Premier Sports by pressing home, navigating to Apps and Games, selecting All Apps and then TV Upgrades.

It was half and hour about the Irish sides, and half an hour for everybody else, the Irish sides had in depth analysis, and Martin Williams spoke for about a minute or two about the Welsh sides. Also, I saw a lot of EIR sports plastered about during interviews, I thought they were two separate channels. chin

Because the programme was produced by EirSport.  The various broadcasters - EirSport, Danz, SuperSport, PremierSports - have arrangements to give re-broadcast rights to each other for content where they want/need.   For example, the Welsh sports panel of Harries, Warburton, Williams and Jackman will front the Cardiff game tomorrow on Premier Sport from 7pm.   EirSport will have their own panel for the game and will take the PremierSport visual feed from Cardiff for the actual match.

I noticed that, I did not want to say anything as I would get a kicking on here.

Well, that is no good, I wanted to watch the Pro14 preview show, but instead I got the Irish provinces Pro14 preview show, with a smidgeon of what they were up against for everybody else.

Yes it was nice to see how Munsters defensive lines were set-up, and Ulsters new signings and it was nice to focus on certain Irish players, but I would have liked that for every team, but every other side just got lip service, I found it, well, very Irish.

So Sky customers get the internet tv player free with a tv subscription to Prem sports.

Virgin Media customers get naff all with the same purchase??

What a crock of sheet.

You say that, but I downloaded the app and it immediately asks you for login details. At no point in the subscription process did I set up login details! In fact I haven't even received an email confirmation after subscribing which is strange (although the TV channels now work).

I've signed up already, hope they apply it to those already registered and not just those who are going to.

That's the reason I'm holding off. Obviously if it gets to about 5 o'clock and there's still nothing, I'll sign up.

Don't think so but hard to keep track because they have different offers and approaches for Sky, Virgin and their player and seem to be playing catch up for getting everything in place which isn't good

They told me to give the customer care team a call when I asked them if I would get the first month free having signed up yesterday instead of today. I really couldn't be bothered phoning call centres for the sake of a tenner but I'm not happy so might have to do it.

All 7 pubs in my village are showing it. And the hotel bar. One pub has 23 screens and it’s on 5 of those including the big screen.

Hope this helps.
