    The Euros are later now than they used to be and that may mean clashes on the BBC - the round of 16 will still be ongoing when Wimbledon commences.

    All now in the ROI schedules too.

    No sign of a Top 14 final day match (all games kicking off Saturday 8pm) though - looks like ROI viewers will miss out on that with Glasgow v Stormers on Premier 1 and Spain v Northern Ireland (at the unusual kick off time of 8:30pm) on Premier 2. (TV5 will be showing a game for those interested).

    To add to the already congested Premier Sports schedules!

    "The SPFL and Premier Sports have now signed a five-season contract for Premier Sports to show 20 live Premiership matches per season in the UK and Ireland."

    They could use that third channel (Freesports/Viaplay Xtra) back. It was closed under Viaplay, but so late that the sale back to Premier was already agreed, so they probably wouldn’t have done it if Premier had wanted it again. Incidentally the name of the UK subsidiary was reverted back to Freesports Limited after the sale went through!

    One of the frustrating things about Premier is that in Ireland it’s a strictly linear approach, if you want to catch up something you’ve missed it’s record it if you can or watch one of the admittedly numerous repeats during the week.

    "Live Highlights" - thats an interesting new phrase from the BBC spokesperson to say well we dont actually have much live games but we do have highlights..

    Premier Sports are still submitting two separate sets of TV listings for Premier Sports 2 - when 1 would do. On Saturday the RoI version shows for 20:00 Bike World followed by Swedish Speedway, whereas the UK version has Top 14 SF between Bordeaux and Paris - so that's what going to be on in RoI aswell!

    it’s been fixed now, thank goodness. I don’t know how the UK and ROI versions can have differing EPG schedule if they are the same stream (although it’s a trick Premier used to pull off in the days when they had GAA, UK viewers would have “Live GAA” whereas Irish viewers had “This is Premier Sports 1 HD”).

    Also ice hockey fans may be pleased to see that, for the first time in 18 months, live NHL is in the schedule for Saturday night - though it may be depending on results actually the last game of the season as the Stanley Cup can be won by Florida on the night.

    Not sure to read anything into it but the Premier Ireland website once again is not showing any schedule for Premier 2 past Sunday - the day before Wimbledon starts.

    No this is normal - they tend to put the whole month up, in one go (the web page can only display 13 days).

    So the July one will run out on July 31 also.

    How come it only affects Premier 2 though? Premier 1 has listings for next week up.

    It's since the they're using the UK feed, before then both 1 and 2 had a 13-day window

    3 extra feeds on premier's Wimbledon coverage. Although extra 1 is currently the same as the main channel. Still beats BBC who managed to come on air early, talk for 45 minutes and miss the first game in their first featured match.

    I should add this is red button on sky q.

    Unfortunately Now TV customers only have access to what’s on Premier 1, but I didn’t expect any different. It’s a pity as we’ve had Sky Sports red button content for a bit, if you know where to look (not always obvious I’m afraid).

    There's no extra courts on Sky Stream which is annoying.

    Just can't understand why they aren't made available either. On Q they are all streamed to begin with. The hard part is already done surely.

    Meanwhile, remember those classic GAA rights Premier bought? They’re actually showing some tonight, seems to be the 2013 All Ireland Hurling Final between Cork and Clare. The really bizarre thing: it’s got GAAGO’s graphics! (GAAGo didn’t even exist at the time and those graphics were only introduced last season anyway).
