I can't see the STV channel being made available south of the border, but maybe their on demand service will. Not that such a development would help you with live sport.

You can watch STV on some devices now, as long as you enter a Scottish postcode.

So the rest of the UK are unable to see these matches through that platform. A bit unfair!

I just mentioned the Player, not the channel. The channel is irrelevant in the context of this sports content, it's being shown on the Player.



Like I said the STV Player isn't on Virgin Media in Scotland yet. And as OLD BOY says you can just use a Scottish postcode on other devices that support the app. ITV Hub works like that in the opposite direction. VM never said in the recent STV Press Release how it would be implemented distribution wise... it's only an assumption.

You can get the STV player on Prime as well. I'm in Scotland so not sure if that is region specific as well. Eleven Sports 1 and 2 are on it now. Hope they are going to improve the picture quality though.
The information says that there will be 14 live matches on this weekend as an introduction and then two games a week from Spain and Italy.
Trying to watch Barcelona v Real Madrid at the moment but the PQ is very poor.

Is it being shown in SD, then?

Certainly looks like it. Had a look on my laptop and quality is much better.

Size of screen has a big effect on PQ - I assume your TV is considerably larger than your laptop

Yeah TV 43in and laptop 15.6in so youre probably right.

I gave it a try and found the picture to be excellent. Eleven Sports have a black friday deal. £39.99 for a year pass.
