In an epic piece of reverse marketing... watching the Arsenal TV coverage on Sky is increasing the likelihood of me getting Coliseum sooner. I'm allergic to watching *delayed games. Bugger it.
(notwithstanding the 2011 5-3 match v Chelski that Sky/ATV showed the other night - wow!).
This is exactly the situation that Tim Martin was hoping for, based on his speech at the launch on Wednesday. He thanked Sky for providing all the delayed coverage to consumers, and reminding them that there is only one place to watch live Premier League.
Laggy, not in HD, why would I pay for that. The quality is garbage on my TV. switching between the premier league streaming site to ESPN in HD on the other channel, it was night and day. Will just wait to midday on sunday to watch Arsenal games. Can't stand sub par quality. Also the CSM guy telling people they just have to plug in there PC to stream are completely avoiding the issue that most old people have laptops from 2005 that wouldn't have a chance in hell at streaming at a constant framerate. I can see alot of backlash after the first night of football, people will be angry once they see how it works. Because in my experience a online service launch always go horrible in the worst ways. Also there is a thing called pirate bay, that upload 720p\1080p matches about 30 minutes after they finish. I think that is looking very appealing.
