Ireland not being able to watch was bad enough considering the amount of Irish Jedward fans who i'm sure would have bumped up the viewing figures, but if some parts of Wales can't get it then it's a bit of a disaster really.

they should just make it viewable everywhere, they're losing so many possible viewers.

I came into this thread with my hands covering my eyes wishing for it to be either Wales or Scotland missing out - because if not, then Northern Ireland wouldn't get it and I would literally break down on this day in tears.

But LOL at Wales - it must suck to live there.

True, those without Sky relied on S4C to watch BB (usually an hour or so later than C4).

Sky or Freesat


Both do Free
With SkyFreesat its a one off payment to get it fitted - then Free


Freesat you need a dish
and then buy a box to connect then Free

Well everyone has to change as the Old Signal is closing in most places


Old People get a Free Freeview box
or Freesat box if in the Zone of no freeview pick up.
Everyone home gets a letter
saying the BBC pays for your fitting if Old or Disabled etc.


So Most will change this year
any that do not are not watching TV

Well Irish fans not watching won't effect the viewing figures, as we aren't included in UK viewing figures.

It will, obviously, mean less people watching but it won't make a difference to the viewing figures.

I'm in Ireland and would LOVE if SKY added Channel 5 to our package so we could record, pause etc. At least we can watch it through 'Other Channels' but not a lot of people know that and if they have UPC instead there's no hope.
Can't get 5* though, so will lose out on some episodes of BBBOTS. Anyone know if they'll be posted on a YouTube channel or something?
Thanks!

Just want to let people know, if you have Sky Digital in Ireland or Wales you should be able to get it (I am in Dublin and can get it perfectly).

Not sure if any other systems can do it (possibly FreeSat I think).

I have FULL INSTRUCTIONS on how to install Channel 5 on SKY on my website, here you go -

http://bbuk4network.com/bbuk4/pre-ne...-get-channel-5

Also, we have a new site design coming at 9pm tonight, just to let you know
