Some customers in Northern Ireland are having issues seeing Premier Sports on channel 424 HD or 462 SD.

This is due to your box not running a full reboot or update since Premier Sports began operating in N.I last year. 

To perform a reboot please take the power cable out of the back of the Sky box, wait 30 seconds then plug the power cable back into the box.

A full reboot should now begin and when you return to the channel numbers the message should have changed from "channel unavailable" to "call to upgrade".
