    Can someone please answer these questions:

    1. We can't get channel 4 and ITV on sky digital. I assumed this was some reason like, copyright issues in ireland. However both channel 4 and ITV can be got on ntl digital in ireland? Hence it can not be copyright issues.
    Why can NTL have them but sky can't?

    2. Is there a way to get BBC3 and 4 in Ireland?
    If not, why not, when we can get bbc 1 & 2 why not 3 & 4?

    3. Is sky, chorus and ntl the only ways of getting digital in rep of ireland?

    Thanks

    in answer to your question both bbc3 and bbc4 will be added to the sky digital lineup come july 10th, they just had to negotiate to get on there

    Im sure utv and channel 4 will also follow suit soon

    Regards

    This is the reason that ITV and C4 is not on SKY in Ireland. To encouage CHORUS and NTL franchises were granted allowing them to have itv and C4 and no one else. it is for 5 years and has about 3/4 years to go.
