    Can you subscribe to the McGregor ppv on the app or is it only through sky?

    All will be covered by either RTE2 or TG4. Problem may be for viewers in GB who who might have to rely on PS App for Leinster vs Ulster and Glasgow vs Stormers games. According to Sky epg these are not on either PS 1 or PS 2 although this may change as there is no live event on PS1 on schedule for Saturday tea time or Saturday evening.

    Noticed that there was no chase play in at least one of the feeds last weekend.

    The EPGs may not have been updated, when you checked.

    Munster v Ospreys on Premier Sports 2 (as well as RTÉ 2 and S4C)

    Saturdays games all on Premier Sports 1 (both UK and RoI) The two early games also on (TG4) -

    Saturdays - International Frendlies had already been scheduled some weeks ago, for Premier Sports 2.

    Friday's Scotland Friendly on Premier Sports 1 (but also on BBC Three, and BBC Scotland)

    Sky UK Epg and Premier Sports UK schedule on their app still have no live coverage of Leinster vs Ulster or Glasgow vs Stormers on either of their linear channels.

    Premier Sport's 2 'UK' transponder (Previously Viaplay 2) was switched off today leaving just one version of PS2 for Ireland and the UK .

    There are still 2 separate transponders for Premier Sport's 1 allowing separate Irish and UK programming.

    Presumably, this years Wimbledon coverage will be confined to Premier 1. Or maybe Premier 2 with UK blackouts like the olden days?

    I mean it’s not a huge issue, most people with Premier likely also have BBC, but still.

    The extra channel for Wimbledon would be more needed this year. The UK election happens slap bang in the middle of the tournament.

    Even better would be some kind of red button coverage for extra streams like they do for the Premier League when they have multiple games to show. It would be especially nice seeing as we still don't access to their online player.

    They were at least supposed to have three red button streams on Sky last year.

    From memory too, premier's coverage can be a bit unpredictable. I'm not sure what kind of world feed it is either. In the past, where possible there seemed to be some effort to show matches other than those covered by BBC but if BBC go a little off script you can find the oddity where one or other show court wasn't showing across any of maybe 4 channels.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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).

    Ah cheers, honestly knew that but was wondering if Premier will run the ITV feed for Irish subs like last year’s FA Cup.

    Not entirely sure if they done that for last years Community Shield

    Rumours swirling tonight, fuelled by this report by Brendan Fanning on RugbyPass, that Premier Sports have won either all of the rights to the Champions Cup and European Challenge Cup or (in another version of the story also doing the rounds) a share of the rights with TNT retaining a smaller share, in a similar arrangement to what pertained between Sky and TNT’s predecessor BT Sport in 2014-2018

    That article reads like a puff piece for Mickey O’Rourke. If PS do get the European rugby rights, how will they manage to fit in everything on their two channels?
