([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/tvapp/atvbfe57326e/web?utm_source=openai)) \n- But in your case, *Season 1 of The Capture* doesn\u2019t show up. It\u2019s likely not in the Irish store catalogue. \n\n---\n\n**What you can try next:**\n\n1. Open the Apple TV app (or iTunes) on your iPhone/ iPad / Mac while signed in with your Apple ID. \n2. Search for *\u201cThe Capture Season 1\u201d*. \n3. Under the show\u2019s page, scroll down to *How to Watch*.

If listed, it seems to be unavailable at this moment. \n\nHere\u2019s a quick run-down of what I found:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0e What I Checked & Found\n\n- There is a *The Capture* page on Sky.com \u2014 it\u2019s noted as **no longer available**, meaning you can\u2019t stream it via Sky Go right now. ([sky.com](https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/87f4493d-247e-4a0e-a502-f0b31f4ddeaa?utm_source=openai)) \n- Selectra\u2019s info\u00adgraphics for Sky Store Ireland show that for TV-series and movies you can filter by \u201cBuy\u201d and \u201cTV & TV Guides,\u201d but *The Capture* doesn\u2019t appear under the \u201cTV shows available to buy\u201d section as of their recent update. ([selectra.ie](https://selectra.ie/broadband/providers/sky/sky-store?utm_source=openai)) \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f What This Likely Means\n\n- If a show isn\u2019t appearing under the \u201cBuy\u201d option in Sky Store, it is either **not licensed** to be sold in Ireland at the moment, or Sky Store hasn't made it available yet. \n- Listing availability can frequently change\u2014sometimes new titles are added or removed without public notification. \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can dig deeper (calling up Sky\u2019s current catalog, or checking via Sky Store PC & TV apps) to see if maybe *The Capture* S1 is coming soon or hidden.

([sky.com](https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/87f4493d-247e-4a0e-a502-f0b31f4ddeaa?utm_source=openai)) \n- On Netflix Ireland, *The Capture* is *not currently available*. Searching the show leads to a message that it isn\u2019t in the catalog for your country.

If these DVDs exist, they seem to be sold by third-party sellers or import shops\u2014not always directly through Amazon\u2019s core offerings.\n\nHere are the details and things to watch out for:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What Checked & Found\n\n- Multiple threads on Reddit indicate that *The Capture* has hardly been released on DVD in the UK or Europe. Users have tried to locate genuine Season 1 DVDs or box sets but mostly report no luck. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/BritishTV/comments/1iepv49?utm_source=openai)) \n- A UK-based online DVD shop (DVD Sales UK) has listings for *The Capture* Series 1\u20132 Blu-ray box set, but not a standalone DVD for Season 1. ([dvdsales.co.uk](https://www.dvdsales.co.uk/the-capture-series-1-2-blu-ray/?utm_source=openai)) \n- DVD Planet Store and other import sites offer Season 1 on DVD, often listing Region codes (usually Region 2 if from UK/EU origin) or similar. But availability, shipping, and authenticity vary. ([dvdplanetstore.pk](https://www.dvdplanetstore.pk/shop/crime/the-capture/?utm_source=openai)) \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Things to Be Careful About\n\n- **Region Coding**: DVDs from UK/EU are \u201cRegion 2\u201d. If your DVD player was sold in Ireland, it\u2019s very likely Region 2-compatible. If the DVD is from the US (Region 1), it may not play unless your player is multi-region. ([comedy.co.uk](https://www.comedy.co.uk/shop/international/?utm_source=openai)) \n- **PAL vs NTSC**: Even Region-compatible DVDs can have format mismatches (PAL vs NTSC video signals); most modern DVD players handle both, but it's something to check. ([help.imdb.com](https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/discover-watch/i-live-in-the-us-can-i-order-a-video-from-amazon-uk/G6U7CCAHCXQCVSNE?utm_source=openai)) \n- **Import Fees / Shipping Delays**: If buying from outside EU or the UK, extra costs and delivery timings apply.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to locate a specific listing that is in-stock and ships to Ireland (Amazon UK or otherwise), so you can compare the price.

What you\u2019ve pointed out is really an issue of licensing, distribution rights, and how broadcasting is regulated. Here\u2019s a breakdown of what\u2019s going on and why it can seem so unfair:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udcfa Licensing & Regional Restrictions\n\n- TV shows (like *The Capture*) are distributed with **region-by-region licensing**, meaning the producers sell rights separately for different countries. If no company in Ireland buys the rights to distribute a show, then legally, it won\u2019t be available there at all\u2014whether for streaming, purchase, or TV broadcast.\n- This causes \u201cavailability gaps\u201d where a show might be easy to get in the UK or U.S., but unavailable in Ireland despite being in English and otherwise fully suited for the audience.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udec2 TV & Radio Licences Don\u2019t Guarantee Content\n\n- In Ireland, people pay a **TV licence fee** to support public broadcasters (like RT\u00c9)\u2014this helps fund public service media. However, this doesn\u2019t come with a guarantee the licence fee will ensure access to every foreign show. It mainly supports **public service broadcasting**, not all licensed TV content. (Broadcasting Act 2009) ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcasting_Act_2009?utm_source=openai))\n- Legal/regulatory frameworks (broadcasting contracts, content licensing, rights clearances, etc.) are responsible for what gets shown. Even if a show is available somewhere else, it may still require new negotiations for an Irish distributor to get the rights. ([cnam.ie](https://www.cnam.ie/industry-and-professionals/licensing-registration/broadcast-licensing/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2699\ufe0f How Regulation Works\n\n- Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n (formerly the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland) handles licensing for broadcasters here. That includes how TV or streaming licensing works under Irish and EU law. ([cnam.ie](https://www.cnam.ie/industry-and-professionals/licensing-registration/broadcast-licensing/?utm_source=openai))\n- The main laws are the **Broadcasting Act 2009** and associated regulations. These outline how public/private broadcasters must operate, licensing obligations, and public service content requirements. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcasting_Act_2009?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa Brexit and Cross-Border Distribution\n\n- Since the UK\u2019s exit from the EU, some rights deals that business relied on have become more complicated. There\u2019s now potential extra legal, financial, and regulatory overhead to make shows available across borders. These hurdles can dissuade some distributors from pursuing availability in places like Ireland. (General trends noted in discussions) ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/kobnlu?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to see whether *The Capture* might be licensed soon in Ireland\u2014or if there are petitions or distributors looking to bring it over. Also, I can explain if things are changing in policy to reduce these kinds of \u201cjust because you live here\u201d gaps.

Here\u2019s what might happen, the risks involved, and what alternatives (if any) exist:\n\n---\n\n### \u2696\ufe0f What Happens If You Don\u2019t Pay\n\n1. **Official Notices & Inspector Visits** \n If you don\u2019t renew your TV licence, you\u2019ll likely receive a letter from An Post warning you that prosecution could follow. Inspectors are legally allowed to enter properties at reasonable times to check whether there\u2019s a TV or equipment capable of receiving TV signals.

For a second offence, the fine could go up to **\u20ac2,000**. ([irishtimes.com](https://www.irishtimes.com/media/2023/08/18/what-could-happen-to-people-who-do-not-renew-their-tv-licences/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Court Summons & Criminal Record** \n Non-payment isn\u2019t just a civil issue\u2014it's a criminal offence. It could lead to a court summons and a record of conviction. ([irishtimes.com](https://www.irishtimes.com/media/2023/08/18/what-could-happen-to-people-who-do-not-renew-their-tv-licences/?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Prison as a Last Resort** \n Jail is very much a last resort, reserved for those who don\u2019t pay fines issued by courts. Though rare, there *have* been cases of imprisonment for persistent non-payment. ([independent.ie](https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/taxpayer-picks-up-the-bill-for-tv-fine-evaders-jail-time/26312825.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udcb6 Cost & What the Licence Covers\n\n- **\u20ac160/year** is the current fee for a TV licence in Ireland. ([irishexaminer.com](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41428225.html?utm_source=openai)) \n- The licence is required not just if you watch RT\u00c9, but if you have *any equipment* capable of receiving TV signals\u2014even if you never actually watch. That includes TVs, aerials, satellite dishes, etc. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f What It *Doesn't* Cover\n\n- If you **don\u2019t own any device** that can receive TV signals\u2014for example, no TV, no aerial, no satellite dish, etc.\u2014you might not need a licence. But you would need to legally declare this lack of equipment. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland?utm_source=openai)) \n- Having internet streaming services alone (without live TV or broadcast-capable equipment) generally doesn\u2019t mean you need a licence\u2014unless that streaming includes live broadcasts that would otherwise count. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\udd14 Why People Think Twice\n\nA lot of people feel the licence is unfair or outdated\u2014especially when some public broadcasters get into scandal, or people don\u2019t use RT\u00c9. But legally, not paying exposes you to all the risks above. Some also worry about how the funds are being used, or think things should be reformed. ([irishtimes.com](https://www.irishtimes.com/media/2024/02/19/why-i-stopped-paying-my-tv-licence-fee-the-whole-model-is-broken/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you\u2019re okay with it, I can help you understand what it would take to legally opt out (i.e. declaring you have no TV or receiver) for your situation\u2014or look into whether there\u2019s movement to change or abolish the licence here. Do you want me to get info on that?" } ]
