A trial is only worth having if it tests the thing you actually care about. In Bray that means Wicklow in the championship, Bray Wanderers in the League of Ireland First Division, plus every Premier League and Champions League night. You get 24 hours on your own telly, no card at any stage, and someone on WhatsApp to get you running on the box already in the room.
Local viewing guide
Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds give the town a League of Ireland side with the sea directly behind one end, which is as distinctive a setting as the division has. Wicklow provide the GAA, though the county has never had the championship profile of its Leinster neighbours, so the balance here tips further towards soccer than it does in, say, Kilkenny or Meath. Bray is well covered for broadband, but the Wicklow hills thin things out quickly as you head south and inland. If you live in the town the connection is unlikely to be the problem. If you are further up towards the Glen of the Downs, testing before paying is the sensible order to do things in.
Bray is well covered through the town itself and up towards Greystones and Delgany, but the Wicklow terrain asserts itself quickly once you head inland or south towards Enniskerry and the Glen of the Downs. Hills interfere with more than people expect. The town has a mix of older seafront properties, many subdivided into flats where nothing can be installed, and newer estates further back. Being on the DART line, a large share of households commute into Dublin, so the demand all lands in the evening. Test it then. If you are in the town the connection will most likely be fine and the question is channels; if you are up in the hills, test at the address before assuming anything.
Spend the 24 hours on what you would genuinely miss. For Bray that means Wicklow in the All-Ireland championship and Bray Wanderers in the League of Ireland First Division. Load the guide early, find the channel, and be sitting down at throw-in rather than judging it on an afternoon repeat. Short of being at the Carlisle Grounds beside the sea, this is how most of the parish ends up watching it.
Connection check
On connection: well covered, with the Wicklow hills thinning out to the south. You want roughly 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Virgin Media and Eir fibre. If you are not sure what you are on, run a speed test while someone else in the house is streaming, because that is the number that matters.
Setup
If you are already with Sky or Virgin Media in Bray, do not cancel a thing yet. Run the trial alongside what you have, compare the two on the same match, and only decide once you have watched Bray Wanderers on both. That is precisely why we do not take a card.
Give us a name and a WhatsApp number. That is the entire sign-up.
The login lands back in the same chat, generally within minutes.
A person, not a bot, helps you get it running on your existing telly or box.
Twenty-four hours to make your mind up. Nothing is stored, so nothing charges.
No card, at any stage. Bray customers start the same way as everyone else: a name, a WhatsApp number, and a login back within minutes. If you do not continue, there is nothing to cancel and nothing to refund.
Neither. Nothing is installed and nothing is drilled. It works through the broadband already coming into your Bray home, on the telly or streaming stick sitting in the room right now.
The library includes GAA championship coverage and the League of Ireland First Division, so if a Wicklow or Bray Wanderers game falls inside your 24 hours you can check it properly. Fixtures and rights move around, which is exactly why we would rather you test it on a real match night than take our word for it.
About 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Well covered, with the Wicklow hills thinning out to the south. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
Access lapses on its own. You are not billed and there is nothing to cancel. If you want to keep it, The Taster is €100 once for 10 months, The Owner is €300 once for lifetime access on one device, and both come with a 90-day money-back promise.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
