Coliseum Sports - EPL Overlords

Can't find anything in the media but does anyone know if the games will be in a databank or something similar so they can be watched delayed? Saw a quote from sky tv exec John Fellet saying they didn't want to pay more as it's not a fan friendly time anyway. Yeah no shit, that's why I got mysky you clown.

He reminds me of an american clive palmer.  He comes across as an arrogant twat.  He even said the breakers out rate the EPL.   New Sporting overlords have it for 3 years. Sky will bid again after that but only pay what they think it's worth.

And out of interest, this documentary - 21 years of London football

As brilliant as that was, no that's not it either. Big League Soccer it was called, Sunday arvos. 

Forget it, I didn't mean to hijack this thread altho there is a slight link to Sunday TVNZ shows.

I know what you mean (trumpet music for the theme tune).

BLS was fronted by Brian Moore:

did you even listen to the interview - he said the breakers game against Perth would outrate all 7 games in the NBA final series between Spurs and the Heat - this was an example after saying the Nix on a sunday would outrate all the best 4 EPL games.

sorry my mistake, was quoting Telfer.  When will i learn not to listen to him

 

actually it went da da da...duda.. da da da :>;

Girlfriend in a Coma or Pictures from an exhibition?

Think the best news from this is an EPL game on free to air every week - will just get more people interested in football. Would like to see the Nix on FTA at some point too.

Yeah this is true. Know quite a few people who are pleased with the highlights show being free to air too. All good, I guess not having sky is now a more viable option for me. Think I'm contracted through until november though sadly.

Sommet sports talking about having two full delayed EPL games per week as well from what I hear.

Coliseum Sports Media's Tim Martin talks to Radio Sport's Brendan Telfer about their new way of delivering English Premier League matches to New Zealanders, and whether they're looking at broadcasting local football matches or even the All Blacks

I think that's what it means when it says they're available On Demand.

The old Beverly Hills Cop Theme chucked in there as well. Nothing wrong with a bit of Patti La Belle.

It's going to be unmetered on slingshot.

Can't understand why Setanta still isn't in NZ.

Though I find it hard to justify keeping it, I still do. I'm not a high wage earner.

Foxsports sees the EPL as a major chunk of it's revenue stream & last season introduced the Barclay's PL app so us subscribers can watch on our iPhones & Pads (not android) but they already had an Internet registration & app (Go Foxtel) that allows us to watch what we're signed up for on our PCs & iPhones/iPads on up to two devices. I'm assuming they've done this in anticipation of an increase in competition from Internet sources.

I've always felt tv viewers in general let alone football lovers got a raw deal from both pay & FTA. I only see this as a good thing for you guys. Maybe this season I won't see so many comments on here fuming about a live A-League broadcast getting bumped for Rowing or whatever.

I'm just sorry the OFC TV deal didn't come off when it was proposed.

Its not going to be HD. They have said a 2 hour game would use 1.2 GB.

On radio sport veitch and his producer figured they wouldn't be able to hook up their computer to their tv (one computer was to old and one TV was likewise). Going to be an expensive business for many

Poll on the Stuff website:

Opinion poll

How do you feel about Sky losing the rights to broadcast Premier League football?

 It's a good thing for football fans and the future of pay sports TV.

 It's bad. I like the Sky coverage and want to be able to access all sports on one subscription.

 Couldn't care less.

Result

Currently more (42.8 %) see it as a bad thing, whilst 37.7 % think it's good.

Also first mention I've seen in that article of a $99 package for all games without the "on demand" option.

That's only $12 / month which seems attractive.

Okay if you want to stay up all hours watching the games live , I guess...

Anyone out there with technical knowledge know if there's a way of recording a live stream like that?

Would this device sold on Trade Me work to record the stream from a TV onto a computer? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=605028213

There are a number of different devices available for recording live TV to PC, but I'm a little confused as to why you want to do that when EPL will be delivered via internet ? Are you asking if you can connect PC to TV to stream EPL and then record back to PC ?

I'm keen to support them - I used to have sky however it was so much money just to watch the A-League and Formula One + I was getting pretty pissed off with them. So now I just watch from work. However I like to support the underdogs so will give Premier League pass a try and hope that it leads towards a ground swell of a change in the way NZ does internet.

If they are broadcasting from within the country then the bandwidth should be cheap for the telcos so hopefully we get them unmetered.

So Telecom looking at discounting Coliseum's $150 to its customers, depending on what plan they they have. But not clear if that will also included any form of unmetering.

And Slingshot will definitely provide unmetered.

I'm so confused
