Yeah, just on the figures, just bear in mind with sport, it's only 12%, but sporting occasions are only dotted a couple of times during the week, whereas people might be watching movies every night.
So just bear that in mind.
Sport is still a main driver to get a dodgy box because to buy sport on Sky or Virgin is 50, 60, 100 euro, I think.
Most people would recognize that.
But there were three questions that the Sunday Independent asked in a poll last July.
It asked in an Ireland Think survey around dodgy boxes.
And question one was, do you have a dodgy box?
And 14% said, yes, they do.
And 10% said no.
I'd rather not say.
So let's add those two up.
That's 24%.
So maybe one in four at this point.
So maybe more than 400,000 households.
The second question asked was, do you intend to get a dodgy box at any time in the future?
And under half, 49% said they would not.
So
The majority left it, said they would, or they left it open.
And then most importantly, or most tellingly, in terms of the attitudes towards dodgy boxes in Ireland, they were asked, do you think that people who own dodgy boxes or use them should be fined or prosecuted?
And 65% said no.
