BT Sports to lose broadcast rights for NBA basketball and UFC.

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

I can't read the article but I'm guessing Eleven Sports are all over it. Expecting them to grab some NFL and WWE rights in the next 6 months too.

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

They were mentioned later in the article so l guess time will tell Chad.

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

NFL rights come up for negotiation next summer.

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

Wouldn't the current rights come to an end after the Super Bowl in February? If so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the next rights are currently being negotiated. Looking back at when SKY and BBC have signed deals with the NFL it's always been at the end of August / start of September. I'm sure we'll hear something soon.

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

At this rate BT Sport won't have anything left except English and Scottish Premier League and FA Cup football!

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

Also got rights to

Champions League football
Europa League football
Conference football
Premiership Rugby
European Rugby
Australian Cricket home matches (including Ashes series)
Australian Big-bash (T-20) cricket

---------- Post added at 15:59 ---------- Previous post was at 15:58 ----------


That means they will announce the rights in Summer:confused:

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

Well yes,the point I was making is they can't keep on loosing sports rights or they'll be left with very little.

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

Don't forget the new home for the Football league highlights starting this Saturday
is on the Quest channel.

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

I'd imagine Sky would want to keep hold of it's current NFL Sunday night 6pm and 9pm games.

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

Apart from the last 5 year deal which was concluded in September 2014, starting in September 2015, they have all gone to the wire. Maybe we could hear something this year, but it could run into August 2019.
Before that deal we never knew if NFL would be on TV until two or three weeks before the start of the season.
I would imagine Sky will want to keep the rights that they have held for over twenty years.

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

Sky Sports HD will be provided as standard from October 1st for Sky customers whether Virgin Media will still have the additional charge I don't know

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

Thanks for that, could be an interesting development.

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

We may have to wait for the carriage negotiations for 2019 to conclude, but fingers crossed.

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

it took a little while before VM could drop movies HD charge if I remember correctly

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

No they could have dropped the price immediately they chose not to do so.

Why should Virgin's Sky Sports customers pay extra when sky's own sports customers will not?

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

Yes it was only a few years ago.

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

Are premier sports 2(sd) and freesports(sd)
permanent channels?.Premier sports 1(hd)is only a 2 month free trial if i read correctly

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

I believe ps2 is also only free for the 2 months.

Freesports is a permanent addition.

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

Is free sports for every virgin media permanent and what channel number ,

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

Link?

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

Eleven Sports £5.99 pm

http://elevensports.com/eleven-sport...th-in-ireland/

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

To be honest even at that I'm not tempted.

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

So is that just online?

Will La Liga, therefore only be available on a PC / Tablet / Phone? Or are they expecting to be available on Virgin Media channel very soon?

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

they are still in talks with vm/sky etc

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

hopefully VM can do deal where it can be in full house package like bt sports

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

Then why on earth have they released an Annual Pass price?

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

No proof of that.

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

I believe them



---------- Post added at 13:45 ---------- Previous post was at 13:44 ----------

because this is for their online service, nothing to do with vm or sky or anyone else

you would download their app and watch that way

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

Correct, and of course there is the possibility of a wholesale deal with VM, as they have done with BT Sport.

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

But why would you shell out 50 quid now if there is a possibility of getting it on your TV next month under another deal?

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

Good question

Hopefully there will be some firm news either way before the early bird offer goes at the end of the month

Also possible of course that the app may have more to offer than linear channels

All to be revealed

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

Sounds awful. Online only. Nah i don't fancy watching Genoa vs Parma sat on my computer or lying on my stomach watching it on my ipad. Nah not overly into paying for that "pleasure".

Put it on BT sport or Sky sports and i'll have it on the background as filler on my TV. Why would i even want the hassle of turning my ps4 on to watch a lousy italian or spanish game? I dont have a smart tv.

Daft this whole enterprise and i really hope they get overly arrogant and do a Setanta sport on us all.

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

As far as l am concerned they can whistle Dixie..

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

Never watched much of it while it was on Sky Sports and BT Sport , you've got to be a fanatic to have an interest in watching those leagues.

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

l much prefer the British leagues personally.

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

Even at £5.99 I don't see many bothering with its current rights.

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

Exactly and in my opinion they are going to struggle to break even financially like some before.

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

Not for me I only ever watched El Classico. Cannot see how they will cover costs.

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

The opening PL game, Man Utd v Leicester City, on Friday 10th August is also being shown on Sky One.

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

A bit of a stretch calling the Dutch, Chinese and Swedish leagues 'top leagues'.

If that is all they are offering I will not subscribe.

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

I pay enough for my sport as it is so I for one won't be paying anything for this channel.

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

Same here - assuming I realised it was on.

Not really interested in the leagues they offer - enough football on sky/BT to satisfy my needs.

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

Surely Eleven Sports must realise that most sports fans sub to Sky and BT Sports so will be unwilling to pay out yet more money. My thoughts are that they will do their best to do a deal with sky and virgin to bundle their channel in with their sports pack. Then the on line sub will satisfy those that don't have sky or virgin.

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

I agree whilst lots of people watch Football the majority in the UK only have a passing interest in the league's Eleven Sports have acquired , if they don't manage to negotiate carriage on Sky , Virgin and BT I think they'll struggle. I just can't see many paying £5.99 a month for the rights they currently have especially those who already pay to Sky Sports or BT Sports or both.

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

will not be paying extra for it for certain

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

Well, having read all the replies, unless I have missed one - no one is prepared to pay extra so Eleven Sports is doomed to fail as another Irish sports offering did.

It is a conundrum,

stick to streaming and not many will subscribe (maybe OB will put his money where his mouth is). Or

Get it carried on Sky/virgin and nobody will subscribe because they can get it free - of course they may do as Premier Sports, but how many subscribe to PS?

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

Fortunately for Eleven may be subscribers outside this forum would be interested :D

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

True but the overwhelming response to their announcement on Twitter today was essentially if they don't launch a proper TV channel on SKY or Virgin people won't be buying. Others are interested in the service if the launch a smart TV app. Not many shouting from the rooftop about the prospect of streaming the action on their tablet or phone.

The next few weeks will be interesting. How long would it take them to create a compatible app for V6 and TiVo?

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

Quest +1 unwatchable black lines either side picture is stretched and breaking up

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

I would say that's a bonus....

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

When is Eleven sport launching anyone?

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

They are due to have some live programmes available this week - but it is an online only service initially.

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

I had that too was rubbish. Hope they sort it out before midweek.

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

OK thanks

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

They are showing the US PGA which starts on Thursday and are apparently releasing their first two weeks schedules tomorrow

---------- Post added at 14:59 ---------- Previous post was at 14:56 ----------

No idea, I'm assuming if it does come to VM it will be the channels rather than an app but I'm sure all will become clear soon

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

It was a technical glitch, apparently.

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

Some free sport from Eleven Sports on Facebook.

https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2018...ervice-launch/

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

I thought there were 3 BT sport channels and BT ESPN? I now find there is a BTsport 4k channel which has something completely different than what is on the normal BT sport channels? Am i missing something here....

BT sport on 527 has rogers cup tennis. Bt sport 2 has BT sport reload. Bt sport 3 has FIA formula E and BT sport ESPN has the X games.

I never knew there was another BT sport channel hiding on 555

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

It’s recently launched, basically when BT has the capability to broadcast sport in 4k that’s where you’ll find it

It will be a simulcast of the SD and HD channels in the usual places

When there is no live sport I assume they just show some sort of “this is 4k” promotion but I haven’t looked

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

Ligue 1 back on BTSport in time for Week 2 starting Friday night

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

Great news. Amazon arrived on my Youview retail box today and works even without a BT subscription

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

The app may have appeared but you will need to log in (having paid your subscription) or sign on for your free trial to view it.

Unless of course, Amazon is giving you the fee trial through YouView, in which case expect to be offered a subscription within 30 days of accessing Prime.

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

Yeah of course the standard Prime subscription applies.

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

The Express are reporting UFC may go PPV in the UK on SKY Box Office. The article suggests SKY could land the marquee events, roughly 12 per year, with Eleven Sports picking up the rest of the content.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.e...-EXCLUSIVE/amp

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

Only the diehards will watch it the way it is going as you can be rest assured they will want a pretty penny or two from the customer to watch the content..

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

I'm sure the fee will be similar to the big boxing Ppv fights - although I suspect with far less viewers.

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

The Ligue 1 rights deal with BT is for 3 seasons

https://sport.bt.com/football/bt-spo...11364289580356

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

Indeed far less viewers that is for sure.

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

Premier sports free offer via my virgin media

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

We're all already getting it for 2 months free? No action needed to be taken?

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

Yep you should already have it as of about 3 weeks ago iirc

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

Only if one wants to subscribe to it after the two months free period is up.

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

Sorry this is a new contract amendment offer . Look at the offers and upgrades in sport is premier sport.at £0 .new contract ,e mail sent showing it as a free upgrade contact runs until Jan 20

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

So what is the outcome, are they taking it away after two months, I am on the basic package only but love when Premier sports was free for two month,

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

Eleven Sports are currently live streaming the La Liga game against Girona and Real Valladolid on Faceache.

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

Customer services confirm stay on package, premier sports is free .Not the two month offer:D

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

Well l certainly won't be grumping at that.:D

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

I've been offered Premier sports at 89.99 for the season instead of the usual price as I am a season ticket holder at a pro14 rugby club. So I have a code I can get the discount under.

But guess what....this offer is only available on "the sky platform" :rolleyes:

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

Look for this it's how I 'found' it. My virgin media, offers and upgrades, scroll down to sports packages. Box nation etc. There was premier sports price was £0 so ordered it :D

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

do we all need to do that or is it just free forever and we dont need to do anything?

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

Its certainly not present currently on my Virgin Media as it currently says there are no offers and upgrades for you.

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

I just get "ooops something went wrong" as I always have when selecting my offers.

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

What channel is BT sport UHD, I have the game on and its just showing in HD! Channel 527..

Just had a look doesn't look like we get it on Virgin....:(

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

Will miss Premier sports when it goes, ;)

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

555 I think it's on

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

Thx mate....got it....:)

---------- Post added at 12:39 ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 ----------

I have a 4K UHD TV, and to be honest I've been going from watching in HD to watching in UHD, and there's not really a huge difference imo, don't get me wrong the PQ is really good, but not what I expected.

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

The system works on algryms I think.So the more times you search of a deal/upgrade the more likely it is to bring something up. I try to log in on a daily basis .Using a tablet means I can't always get on I am not a robot being the problem +having to use hula to say I am in the UK.. Having done this for a number of years offers come and go all the time.This was the first one that caught my eye.Pro 14 rugby being the thing I wanted.Better that a mix of freesports, Irish tv channel & S4C.You should know how to work that :D:rolleyes:
