Changing telly in Waterford normally means signing first and finding out second. We do it the other way round. Twenty-four hours on your own telly, no card, no account, a real person on WhatsApp if the setup gives trouble, and Waterford in the championship, Waterford FC in the League of Ireland, plus every Premier League and Champions League night waiting to be tested.
Local viewing guide
Waterford is hurling country, and Walsh Park on a championship day is the fixture that decides whether people here think a telly package is worth the money. The Déise following travels well, which means the away games in the Munster round robin matter as much as the home ones. Waterford FC play at the RSC, giving the city a League of Ireland side to follow through the summer Friday nights. The city itself has solid fibre coverage from SIRO and Eir, though the further you go into the Comeraghs and west Waterford the more patchy things get. That gap between city and county is the single most useful thing to test on a trial: run it at home rather than trusting a coverage map.
Waterford city has solid fibre through most of the built-up area, out through Ballybeg and across the river at Ferrybank. Tramore and Dunmore East along the coast are reasonable. The gap opens as you go west and north into the Comeraghs and the rural Déise, where households depend more on rollout progress and the terrain interferes more than people expect. The city has a growing student population around SETU on short leases. For most Waterford households the practical question is straightforward: whether the hurling comes through cleanly at throw-in on a summer Sunday when half the county is watching the same game. That is a specific, testable thing, and 24 hours is enough to answer it properly at your own address.
In Munster, the fixtures that decide whether a service is worth keeping are Waterford in the All-Ireland championship and Waterford FC in the League of Ireland. 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. Nothing at home matches Walsh Park on a hurling day, but the picture should still do the night justice.
Connection check
Your line matters more than the app does. Waterford city has solid fibre; the Comeraghs and rural Deise are patchier. HD needs roughly 10 Mbps and 4K roughly 25 Mbps. SIRO and Eir fibre cover most of the city. Check it during the evening peak in Waterford so you see the real number rather than the best-case one.
Setup
If you are already with Sky or Virgin Media in Waterford, 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 Waterford FC on both. That is precisely why we do not take a card.
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 card, at any stage. Waterford 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.
No. That is one of the main reasons people in Waterford 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, so if a Waterford or Waterford FC 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. Waterford city has solid fibre; the Comeraghs and rural Deise are patchier. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
It ends, and that is all. No charge, no reminder emails, no cancellation to chase down. If it did suit you, The Taster is a single €100 payment covering 10 months and The Owner is a single €300 payment for lifetime access on one device, each with 90 days to change your mind.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
