Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
So the main Premier Sports 2 carries live UEFA Champions League - but as they only have the rights for Ireland, the UK Sky cards get a 'out of region' message and a blue screen.
VirginMedia get a different feed which has the alternate UK programming - so no error message and no UEFA football.
Premier Sports 1 has two versions on Sky -one for UK and a second for Ireland so can split the programmes. But there is only one Premier Sports 2 on satellite.

VirginMedia used to do this too for the LaLiga live football at 3.15pm on a Saturday - hit by the 3pm blackout.
Sky would have a 'region message' message on screen while th VM version had alternamte programming.
