English (and other British lower league) Football Discussion
You really don't think the EPL could get 13000 subscribers in a country of 4million people (of which there are over 1.5million households)?
No wonder sky didnt value it highly...

They put up the man city preview now. Clear your cache if you can't see it. They need to give us a higher bitrate option IMO.
apparently the site hasn't "officially launched" (tomorrow) so maybe they can fix some issues before the season starts.

The talk over at geekzone is because the fast paced parts are quite blurry but I can't confirm.
Here is the 3mb/s preview
Has anyone signed up yet?
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I'm too lazy to scrawl through lots of previous comments but once you get your pass can you watch on lots of different computers/devices? Similar to ISky. Thinking if got 4 or 5 people together then paying $50 each for the premium pass better than $240ish. One pass, many people using same login details
Chris,
You wont be able to do it concurrently as you can only login once with each subscription.
Just heard a rumour that Sky has been in talks with some of the big clubs directly and is set to announce something soon.
Would the Sommet Sports ChelseaTV/MUTV deals be exclusive?

Never mind. it's only Arsenal
Sommet and SKY I would imagine are fighting for the rights to Manchester United and the one who doesn't get them gets Liverpool.

Sun online football show to form part of new digital offeringJust read this on Guardian website.
2 Quid a week would be sweet if accessible in this part of the world.
Does anyone have more info on this and/or ways around regional blocks for TV shows and sports items. Cheers
A sniff of competition and bang, NZ has more televised football available than ever before.
Sky can suck it.
"Everyone will be able to watch their EPL team play on SKY Sport at least 8 times a season. So regardless of which team you support, be it West Ham, Southampton, Cardiff, Hull City or one of the other Premier League teams, SKY Sport will show their games against the teams we have agreements with.”

Once they have their Apple TV app going - and people are happily using it, that's when I'll get on. Easiest way to hook in, no reliance on cables/laptops/tablets/whatever and it'll be almost like watching on "normal" telly.

With Sky broadcasting the Arsenal, Man City and Spurs channels (and one other they're negotiating for) fans will get a lot of games Coliseum don't have the rights to as well as EPL and in better quality than Coliseum's heavily criticized recently unveiled broadcast standard. Sommet Sports have the Chelsea and Manchester United channels on Freeview. Coliseum will be severely impacted in the rear area:

"The rights deal encompasses games shown on Premier League Club channels for the four clubs, including Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup matches."

So with more reading of these links, it doesn't say SKY will be playing these games in HD. Anyone know ?
It seems to me it must be what is played in the teams websites.

If PLP provided 4 - 4.5 mb/s bitstream there would be no question of who to go with. There is still time !

It annoys me that Sky could've had this extra football content for years but they didn't give a sh*t about it until they got some competition.
Which is what I meant when I said "sky can suck it" Mr Sole.
I'll be getting PLP, and retaining Sky, so I'll have so much football available now, you little ripper.
Just need to sort something for freeview now. Least costly option?
Do you have UHF ?

Bringing you all the latest action and interviews from behind the scenes via our video player that allows you to watch HD quality video on a top-class, easy-to- use website.

Still getting rid of SKY Sports for PLP. Sick and tired of their crap.
I'm used to watching games live at 2am and now I can do that watching my team (Everton) rather than waiting for so random time the next day (if at all).
Even though it pisses me off now that they are jumping through all these hoops to get some sort of rights, the fact they are picking up some games is probably good for the casual watcher who have SKY.
Do you have UHF ?
It's not a bad backup decision by Sky, but i'd rather stick with streaming, thanks. I never manage to make it much past 9am on a Sunday morning without finding out the results anyway, on demand suits me.
Incidentally, is it just me or is the Tottenham Asia Trophy game much better quality than the City v Sunderland?
I have tried to like arsenal player, but the reality at last attempt, they didn't use akamai, so trying to stream out of the uk was just terrible performance :(
13000 people won't sign up into PLP
ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH

That remains to be seen. Do you imagine ex-pats are just going to stop watching their teams?
If anything, expect sky to tank, not plp. Quite a co-incidence that news corp exited a few months before this deal came along....

EPL is the first in a very slippery slope for Sky. I'm certainly not saying it will happen this year.
