So ROI SD channels will last longer?

Yeah as we still get charged for HD..
How long that will last is anyone's guess..

The SD channels use a European satellite and they stopped supplying the UK because of Brexit 🤣

The Sky Sports channels have 2 channels/frequencies for each, a U.K. version and an ROI version. So you’ll see different adverts etc

Has anyone noticed the resolution of GOLD SD Ireland has increased? Previously 544x576 and now 720x576 same as the UK version.

why woud you want sd?

 

[bmitie]

sd is there for pure cost, hd is 10 euro a month extra9COULD BE MORE NOW0 and I know quite a few people who pay sky over a 100pm but wont pay the extra for hd. they have phone/bb/sat

 

[mike123]

Probably cheaper buying a nowtv account from various places

SD should be fine for channels like Gold given that their shows are from the 80s. Unless there’s 4K HDR remastered versions of Only Fools and Horses out there that I don’t know about lol.

I don't often as I've got full package VM and a Viark Sat 4K both with HD but was just having a play with my Gigablue Quad 4K last night and began watching The Office.

I'm a bit old fashioned though as given the choice, still prefer the stability of watching SD on satellite for regular TV shows to IPTV.
