If anyone wants to invest in the possible future of TV, DAZN is seeking to raise $1bn and enter 200 countries next year.

do we know whats going to happen with premier league games? no one can attend obviously....surely the uk govt dont want people turning up at grounds to listen to games? Surely all games should go live on tv until people can return? Could be dangerous otherwise!

In Scotland they are allowing clubs to stream Home games to season ticket holders as part of their sub and offer PPV to Away fans. The PPV option is only available if Sky aren't showing the match.

Maybe they can implement something similar. Most clubs have their own online TV service in the top flights.

Talks are happening between 5 broadcasters and the premier league, BT, SKY, ITV, BBC and a unknown broadcaster which we suspect is Amazon.
EFL i have no idea at the moment but hopefully something will arrive in the office next week.

Currently the plans are to revert to the contracted amount of games, albeit this rises to 220? Games this season.

The agreement to show all games, some free to air, was purely to enable the 2019/20 season to be completed.

With Sky & BT paying vast sums for the rights to show selected games I do not think they would allow the same to happen for the new season.

Do not forget Sky show 30 mins highlights of all weekend games not televised live - presumably they pay for the right to do this.

They have options of course -

1) they could show the extra games free to air for a reduction in their contracted payments
2) they could agree to the extra games being streamed, again presumably for a reduction

To name a couple

The EFL have reached a ground-breaking deal with Sky Sports that will enable clubs in all three divisions to stream every match next season live on their websites.

Quote:
Season-ticket holders will get access to their side's home matches free of charge and more casual fans will be able to watch every game — including Saturday 3pm kick-offs for the first time — for a fee of around £10.

Quote:
The arrangement will be reviewed on a regular basis but is expected to remain in place until the Government permits a 50 per cent occupancy rate at stadiums.

This is likely to be some way off given the initial plan is for a maximum capacity of between 20 and 30 per cent when fans return. This is scheduled for October at the earliest.

Sounds like the Scottish solution. Which has been working pretty well. The PPV cost is up to the club here. So far I've seen £12.50 and £17.50 for the ones I've looked at/watched myself.

The season ticket holders were simply given access instructions which used their ticket to access. They don't have to do anything but type them in, the account is set up for them.

Only one device can use them as any subsequent logins, log off the previous one. So no sharing.

The only weird bit is Away fans have to register an account with their opponents before they can order a match. Suppose if this continues the whole season it'll get used multiple times.

It will certainly be of interest to my younger brothers as they are both season ticket holders

Well I hope the picture quality is better than last season. When Sky were showing midweek games on the red button, the sd was awful quality.

For those forum members who just want to flop in their armchairs and watch whatever is on at the time, this may be for you!

https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2020...huffle-button/

Netflix is trialling a new feature, designed to take the pain out of choosing what to watch.

In the last few days a number of subscribers have reported seeing a large button labelled ‘Shuffle Play’ on the home screen beneath the profile icon. When pressed, the streaming service will randomly play content that it believes the user will like, based on what’s been viewed in the past.

Only a matter of time before they decide to launch a linear channel to showcase their content.
