The first of these matches is tonight and I noticed a banner tile advertising it on the top of the EPG. When highlighted the description mentions some tech details I've never heard of.
Quote:
"If your TV supports both 4K resolution (2160p) and WCG(BT.2020 or Rec.2020), press OK to head there now."
The bits I've highlighted in bold are new to me, never heard of them. I was expecting this text to mention HDR and/or HRG but it mentions this instead.

There is more than one type of HDR. WCG (Wide Coilour Gamut) is the one that the BBC use.

Most 4K TVs will support it fine, but if you have any problems, work through the checklist here:

Champions League fever fuels surge in BT Sport sign-ups.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...-philip-jansen

Quote:
The new BT chief executive, Philip Jansen, who took over from Gavin Patterson in February, claimed that BT had fielded an “astounding” amount of traffic through its call centres from football fans seeking to sign up to BT Sport to catch the first all-English final since 2008.
Quote:
Jansen also confirmed that BT would bid to retain the Champions League rights for a further three seasons from 2021 when they come up for auction later this year.
Quote:
He said he was looking at whether to raise prices for BT Sport, which is available for £10 a month to BT TV customers and £15 a month to those with only BT’s broadband service. “We are looking at the value of BT Sport and making sure we have the right approach and pricing will be part of that definitely.”

Interesting that on the one hand they're telling us about the great increase in subscribers,then they're telling us they're considering price increases!

Perhaps they think in terms of future monetary value BT Sport is as good as Sky Sports.

Yes perhaps. I do think BT Sports is as good as Sky Sorts in many ways. True Sky have the bigger Premier league games but BT do have the FA Cup and European games.

They have done in the past and according to Radio Times they are again this year, as long as you have a smart TV of course.

I'm sure they're not telling their callers though :rolleyes:
