"The telecoms regulator says that pay TV subscriptions are falling drastically - from 70pc to 57pc of Irish households - as dodgy box usage soars here with 400,000 homes using one."
"It feel like the Irish television business is in trouble, with no politician or regulator to defend it."
Ireland's television industry faces significant challenges from the proliferation of illegal streaming devices, commonly known as dodgy boxes. Pay TV subscriptions have dropped substantially from 70% to 57% of Irish households, while approximately 400,000 homes now use these unauthorized devices. The telecoms regulator has documented this concerning trend, yet politicians and regulatory bodies appear unwilling or unable to effectively address the issue. This lack of intervention threatens the viability of the legitimate Irish television business, as revenue streams diminish and the market shifts toward illegal alternatives.
