Nobody in Derry should hand over money for telly they have not seen working in their own sitting room. That is the point of a 24-hour trial: no card, no account, no contract. Put it up against Derry in the championship, Derry City in the League of Ireland Premier Division, plus every Premier League and Champions League night and judge it on what you actually see.
Local viewing guide
Derry is the one city on the island that sits in two systems at once. Derry City play in the League of Ireland, travelling south every other week, while the city itself sits in the UK broadcast market. The Brandywell on a European or league night is the local occasion. Alongside that, the Derry footballers are a serious force in Ulster and play their county games at Celtic Park, confusingly sharing a name with the Glasgow ground. For households here that split is the whole issue: the soccer coverage that follows the club is often Irish, while the broadband, the aerial and most of the neighbours' packages are British. Being able to test both sides on one service, in one evening, is worth more here than in most places.
Derry sits on the border in a way that shapes everything practical about telly here. Households across the Bogside, Creggan and the Waterside routinely want Irish and UK channels together, because the club plays south while the city sits north. Openreach and Fibrus both serve the city and coverage is reasonable, improving as fibre expands out towards Culmore. Cross into rural Donegal a few miles away and the picture changes entirely. The specific test worth running here is the cross-border one: check whether a single service genuinely carries both the League of Ireland coverage that follows Derry City and the UK channels the rest of the household expects, because that combination is exactly what conventional packages on either side of the border tend to miss.
In Ulster, the fixtures that decide whether a service is worth keeping are Derry in the All-Ireland championship and Derry City in the League of Ireland Premier Division. Check those first. Load the guide, find the game, and see whether the picture holds at throw-in rather than taking anyone's word for it. Short of being at the Brandywell on a European or league night, this is how most of the parish ends up watching it.
Connection check
Worth knowing before you start: Derry is unusual: the club plays in the League of Ireland while the city sits in the UK broadcast market. Reckon on 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Openreach and Fibrus both serve the city. If the house in Derry is streaming on three devices at once, that is the moment to check your speed.
Setup
Most people who message us from Derry are not chasing anything exotic. They want Derry City, the big European nights and a film for the kids without a two-year contract behind it. The trial exists so you can confirm that on your own telly before cancelling anything you already pay for.
Message us your name and a WhatsApp number. Nothing else, and no card.
Your login comes back in the same chat, normally in a few minutes.
We stay with you while you set it up on your own telly, Firestick or box.
Watch for a full day, then decide. There is nothing on file, so nothing renews.
No. Nothing is taken up front and no payment details are stored anywhere. That is deliberate, because it is the only way a trial in Derry can genuinely cost you nothing.
No. That is one of the main reasons people in Derry switch. No dish on the wall, no installation window to wait in, and no new box to pay for on top of the subscription.
The library includes GAA championship coverage and the League of Ireland Premier Division, so if a Derry or Derry City 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. Derry is unusual: the club plays in the League of Ireland while the city sits in the UK broadcast market. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
The login simply stops working. Nothing renews, because we hold no payment details for Derry customers or anyone else. To continue, The Taster costs £85 once and covers 10 months, or The Owner costs £255 once for lifetime access on one device. Both carry a 90-day money-back promise.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
