Reports of the imminent demise of Eleven Sports in the UK seem to have been premature.

https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2019...nd-android-tv/


Eleven Sports is launching apps on Amazon Fire TV Stick and Android TVs in the UK and Ireland.

Viewers can already watch Eleven Sports on TV via Google Chromecast, and the new apps are now available to download for Amazon Fire TV Stick and Android TVs, with apps for Samsung Smart TVs coming soon.

The user interface for each app is optimised specifically for TV and the action will be available in HD 1080p.


Still an uphill struggle for them to reach a larger audience, though.

I don't think getting onto the fire stick is really going to change things somehow. If you're desperate to watch La Liga i'd imagine you'd have signed up already by now rather than waiting for it to appear on an amazon stick.

I think this is possibly the last throw of the dice, spending money and hoping to get more subscribers

It'd be too difficult to split the network to show raw and smackdown live on the network. WWE have signed new contracts with USA and the big one with FOX for the next few years. As seen with WWE Mainevent they can't black out the network for various countries.

I think BT sport are cutting back on spending and i can't see WWE going to premier sports etc. Unless a move out of nowhere comes like ITV i can't see anything but sky sports

Excellent news for ESPN in the USA and BT Sport in the UK.

The lineal heavyweight champion of the world tied to ESPN and all it’s clout should get some decent fights made in the coming years for Tyson.

And yet here's you selling to everyone how all these apps are going to sell direct to the consumer and how it will be a roaring success and cheaper for us all.

What makes you think this uphill struggle won't be the same for each TV content provider trying to go it alone with a streaming product.

Well, they will struggle when the most popular sports are shown on Sky and BT. The real shift will come when they achieve success in bidding against them for the more popular sporting events.

Of course, Sky already provide a streaming service via Now TV, and I expect that BT will do so as well before long.

And of course in the USA they already have ESPN+ where Disney are trying to retail some content direct to subscribers in addition to the content provided to 80 million or so indirect subscribers.

The future looks far more like my description of more ways to consume the same thing than an upstart revolution changing the way we subscribe to or consume television.

It’s unclear if they retain non-exclusive rights, but even if so which are you more likely to subscribe to? A credible TV channel with a range of content or an app from a failing broadcaster?

Eleven Sports tweeted the following earlier today:

"It is business as usual for Eleven Sports – we will show up to 10 #LaLiga games a week which is more than any broadcaster in the UK and Ireland. We’re also the only ones showing both Clasico fixtures next week too"

Appears it's only a short term deal. Premier Sports tweeted earlier:

"Discussions will take place at the end of the season with a review to continuing coverage"

They literally just need to fold now they have no exclusives one must ask what is the point in continuing.

Hope premier sports dont keep la liga and serie A but with Sky focusing on the EPL and BT sport cutting back on their budget it doesnt seem likely to go anywhere else

It's all turning into a bit of a shambles. La Liga coverage is all over the place. Games streamed free via Facebook and STV Player. Coverage on pay TV and online via Premier Sports and Premier Sports Player. Coverage via streaming service Eleven Sports. It all feels very amateur.

La Liga must be regretting ever getting into bed with Eleven Sports in the UK. Must have cost the league so much in prestige and viewers.

Amazon streaming ATP on its website in the UK this year.

https://www.a516digital.com/2019/03/...week.html#more

Amazon Prime will stream 37 ATP Tour events per year for the next five years, beginning with coverage from the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells next week.

The ATP rights build on Amazon's existing sports portfolio, which includes the US Open and - from next season - a number of live Premier League games. The rights were first awarded to Amazon back in 2017, but only start next week.

The Amazon-ATP deal covers all ATP Masters 1000 events, the Nitto ATP Finals from The O2, the Next Gen ATP Finals as well as all ATP 500s.

Prime subscribers in the UK can stream the live coverage at no extra cost.

There’s an issue on iPad and Roku just now giving a couple of error codes.

Quite embarrassing really. It gives the impression to your average user that the technology isn’t up to it. In all probability Eleven have sub-let the same rights twice and don’t want STV showing it free. A shambles of an organisation.

Oh dear. Goodbye eleven sports you entered for foreign football rights in the Uk we enjoyed mainly getting with our current subscriptions as they were there. You expected me to pay for random Spanish games and Italian games instead of just finding them on my tv channel hopping and going “ooh okay I’ll watch that” rather than purposely firing up my PS4 to watch Atlanta vs lazio

How odd it didn’t work out and you’ve probably lost money.

Thanks for that - interesting, earlier this afternoon today's game was on the EPG (wasn't early this morning) - Sunday's game was still missing.

As this is Amazon's first 'toe in the water' shot at the Premiere League, it makes perfect sense for them to tap into the proven expertise that is currently available. So it doesn't prove anything about the future, other than the fact that new players are able to utilise existing resources to ensure that their virgin broadcasts are up to the quality demanded.

Doesn't matter what evidence yo are given, you always twist it to suit your incessant mantra that streaming will ripulrpe the world.

You may be correct eventually, but not in the next 10 years.

I haven't 'twisted' anything. You just don't want to consider the inevitable. I won't cry about it, though. :D

They must have entered into a wholesale agreement, the same as Virgin did with BT.

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.”

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.

Sky have got test match rugby until the end of this season at least, but BT have made English & European club rugby their own.

Apologies, you're quite right, you can watch on a laptop.

I was thinking of the traditional viewing approach, on the sofa in front of your TV. (Which of course if not a smart TV, you can hook up a laptop to as well as the many steaming devices available)

My kettle will not be on during the match! :D I think the main thing will be awareness, not the technical ability to view though doubtless the press will publicise the YouTube broadcast.

Hope the UK's broadband infrastructure can cope with all the traffic.

EssexSpurs71 on DS Forum saying BT Sport on Sky through Sky will cost £14.99 for Sky Sports subscribers or £24.99 for non Sky Sports subscribers.

With BT Sport 4K included for those with Sky Q experience.

Who knows if that's correct they give the source as someone who works for Sky.

Interesting. Speculation on that thread it includes AMC. As a boxing fan I'm wondering if it includes Boxnation just like on BT.
