No real objections to TV3 provided they don't employ Brennan.

Damn that's me stuck with BBC.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

ITV and BBC to share it.

I'd have thought most people in NI could receive a TV3 signal.

Can get RTE1, RTE2 and TG4 through Sky, but not TV3 - only this freeview box which does not appear to have coverage on the East Coast. BBC and ITV sharing it from 2016 - ITV have England/Ireland/Italy home games, BBC - Scotland/Wales/France.

Not on Sky in N.ireland.
I don't think it is on Freview HD either, only available from Transmitters south of the border, or maybe north if getting from Donegal.

You need a different box to decode the Mexican signals but most aerials will pick it up
