mrdtv: I live in East Sussex, UK and I often have my Irish relatives to stay. Where they live in Co Leitrim they have a choice of the NI British channels and also the Irish channels. They keep asking me why I can't get the Irish Republic channels. I have assumed that it's because I'm too far away. I only have a freeview box and don't currently subscribe to a satelite network. I did read a post on another website that it's something to do with media rights, and that it wouldn't be available even if I did subscribe to Sky or the like. I would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks. Nell
