UFC 100 on TV ?

This is getting out of control.

Perhaps this thread needs to be locked with the final post containing all the confirmed details on the ufc site. everything else is just speculation, contradiction and paranoia.

Its not that complicated, if you have Sky Digital (no ntl not even the basic) UFC will air for free on channell 433.

if you have an ntl basic package, analogue or digital it will be shown on ntl channell 401 or 105.

in other words uk and non ntl sky digital custoemrs can watch it live on channell 433 and irish viewers with at least an NTL basic package (14 or so channels)

so irish viewers with sky digital and no setanta sub will get to watch it on channel 433?

I got an email from the UFC this morning saying this will be shown on Sky channel 433 but it has in brackets after it (UK only) and that Irish fans can watch it on Setanta Ireland.

That's brutal now if it's not shown on Channel 433 in Ireland as well. Setanta are not going to have the nine hours or so of it on. They'll only have the actual event.

Someone deleted my first post but as I said IF this happens you can trick your sky box into thinking it is in the Uk by taking your viewing card out, unplugging your box for a minute and turning it back on without the viewing card in. You then get the Uk channel list, without RTE and including UTV ect.

when channel 433 is broadcasting its usual racing crap its a subscription channel, does anyone know if the uk also need to subscribe or do they recieve it free?
If they also had to subscribe itd make me a little more optimistic

Yes they do need to subscribe. The channel in question does not hold the rights to show free horse racing.

Now EVERYONE shut up :pac:

FFS , England ? Streaming live to England ? What the feck about Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland ?

Oh and he didn't mention us :mad::mad:
Another thread another day another rant I suppose.

The confussion is :
Irish people with SKy digital don't know if they'll get the event on their Channel 433 and not everyone has NTL. That needs sorted.

If you have NTL's basic package with the 15 channels (RTE, BBC, CH4, Sky1, E4, Discovery, Sky News, MTV, Living etc.) then you'll have Setanta Ireland. The old "cablelink" package as I call it.

Free UFC on Setanta Ireland will be deadly.

davmol · 10-07-2009 2:40pm

Yea im going to a house warming on saturday and i suspect it will be going on til the next day so ive recorded setant ireland from 4pm until 7am the next morning so i dont miss a god dam thing.A bit worried about my birds reaction when she finds out ive deleted about 2 weeks of emerdale and ramsays kitchen nightmares!::eek:

I heard a 'rumour' that setanta are offering subscription of 5 /6 euro a month if you subscribe,i think they lost alot of business through the loss of the premiership matches and the UFC that theyre offering highly discounted subs fees!! maybe worth getting it for a month or 2 and cancelling afterwards,its a cheap and definite way of seeing UFC100

I might be over doing it here but he is actual footage of Dana doing that rant above. He is clearly pissed off with it all.

Wow, that works! I seem to have the UK FTA channels. Lost the ability to record on the sky box (expected) but I still have a VCR. Leaving it like this for a few hours to see how long it'll last.

Mossy Monk · 10-07-2009 4:21pm

It should last until you put your card back in. I dont know why you do that though as the channel on number 433 of the UK EPG is the exact same channel on 433 of the Irish EPG. If and that is a very big IF, let's say they do encrypt channel 433 so it is blocked in Ireland then you actually need a UK card to view it. Doing what you are doing now will not encrypt a UK only broadcast.

Here's hoping anyway. I just have a feeling 433 won't be made available in Ireland.

I have this bad feeling as well. However channel listings on sky guide in the uk havent updated either. I cancelled setanta sports i dont want to subscribe again, heres hoping 433 WILL BE ON in Ireland??
Anybody anymore info on this??

Be sick if it aint on 433! seriously need some clarification if its going to be encrypted ... im getting nervous and also have a bad feeling

LimerickBhoy · 10-07-2009 4:44pm

I know how you feel. Hear Dana is getting some stick in England off people with a virgin box, sure its better than them paying $50 that they do in the USA....

Insanodude · 10-07-2009 4:49pm

Yea i know there a load saying they just got the virgin box for setanta for the ufc and now that setanta has crapped itself there going mental lol. The ppv in america is mad too .. i like the ufc but i aint payin $50 to see it ... id much prefer if channel 433 showed it for free lol

well insanodude, just checked tv listings for CH433 and it looks like we're in!! Check it out, please God it'll work!!!

GSPfan · 10-07-2009 4:55pm

Everyone is looking for confirmation of this and that. You'll have confirmation at 3.00am on Sunday morning. Don't waste your time trying to get "confirmation" off someone on here.

UFC100 says (Ireland Only) on Setanta Ireland but doesn't say (UK Only) on the Racing Channel. So chill out till 3.00am and in my OPINION you'll be able to watch it on 433.

LimerickBhoy · 10-07-2009 4:57pm

yea i suppose, GSP to rule the world, this will be his toughest test yet GSP fan...loved the way he bitchslapped BJ!!!

Insanodude · 10-07-2009 5:04pm

Happy days

thats great news man! they finally updated the listings ... we'd be severely unlucky if it didnt work now lol!
All i gota do now is get a few beers and experience 9 hours of excellence eh?

LimerickBhoy · 10-07-2009 5:07pm

Happy f*cking days, LESNAR GSP AND BISPING to win enjoy....

Setanta definitely won't be showing all future PPVs. This is a once off solution that the UFC has taken to ensure that it airs while they continue to negotiate other tv deals
