    You sure about RTE2?
    At the time of the deal announcement I'm fairly sure it was said that Virgin/TV3 would have both finals exclusively.

    Correct. Although it's better than the UK situation with zero live FTA coverage it's still a shambles that VM1 are still not HD on Saorview to properly showcase a huge sporting event as this

    It's on Virgin Media 1. The station formerly known as TV3.

    So its on Saorview, buy not in HD.

    But only if you pay extra for their HD package, which is free in the UK

    Well of course you have to have a HD sub. That's a different matter, but I agree we shouldn't have to pay for HD TV in this day and age. It's why I'll be dumping Sky pretty soon.

    According to this article on The Irish Times, the final will not be on RTE.

    I don't think there should be an "of course" about it.

    I have a basic sky package with a HD box

    I get HD RTE, HD TG4, HD BBC and a whole lot of of other HD stations on the basis package.

    But I would have to pay extra for VM1 (TV3 to most of us) in HD.

    That's crazy

    It's 2019.

    Paying extra for HD for anything is a scam basically.

    I'm mildly disgusted its not on RTE. It'll be like watching through cellophane on VM.
