Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

The majority of people who buy 3D TVs don't watch 3D at all. By the time they decide to give it a try, they can't remember what they did with the specs!

To get the best 2D PQ, you're looking at the higher range TVs and they come with 3D as standard.

So many people by 3D TVs not for 3D, but to get the best 2D PQ.

I complained to BT online about the BT Sports DOG today. Don't know if I should be proud of myself for doing it or feel sorry for myself for doing it!

Does anyone know if VM are doing any offers for Sky Sports, as the normal price they are asking for is ridiculous?

Neilo, You won't get any answers from BT Sport, l have been trying to get answers since it started.

You cannot get anywhere with them - you can try phoning their complaints on servive number, and they will put you to the sports dept. You will get transferred to Delhi. And they have a clue on what you are asking.

I did get an answer in an email. They say its a new idea from there service dept and wont change it.

I thought that might be the case. Did you have to speak to a manager, or did CS give you this deal?

Point of information/speculation - this may have been because the BT Sports deal had not been finalised....

I am hoping that isn't the case, and the offer still stands.

This is correct, a top end tv's 2d performance can look almost 3d when set up and calibrated correctly, add to this a top end tv will usually have much better 3d performance than a mid range tv and it becomes less of a niche, and more of a normality, the mrs loved Star Trek into darkness on 3D blu-ray.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I've said a lot about the quality of BT Sport's rights and the amount of money that they've spent on acquiring them. And I stand completely by those comments. But, from what I've seen so far, and admittedly I haven't seen all of their Premier League matches, they are trying to be innovative. Some of it's working, some of it isn't. I like the virtual pitch, for example, but could well do without having a ref in the commentary box, especially, Mark Halsey, who has been pretty dreadful. I do, however, really like the DOG location. I think it allows consistency across their programming - for instance when they're showing foreign football which comes with it's own branding stamped in the top left corner - and it allows them to show the picture in picture box which means the main view is always the main action, which I think is absolutely excellent.

Just a call to CS, I asked if there were any offers on Sky Sports, got put on hold for 2 mins, and was offered half price for 3 months. This was after BT Sport arrived on VM :)
