Champions league interactive

[joyrider1]

Its coming around to the champions league on Sky Sports extra now, and I am seriously considering leaving NTL because I cannot follow my team (Celtic), because this feature isnt available.
Surely in this day and age NTL would have the facality to show the matches that are on Sky Sports extra multiscreen. Celtic are one of the biggest supported teams in the UK, but ALL cable viewers are denyed the opportunity of seeing them. This wouldnt happen to ManU or Arsenal, so why is it acceptable when Celtic are stuck in the no mans land that is Multiscreen??
The BBC interactive channels are available to cable customers, so why cant the same technology be applied to Sky Sports extra on NTL, can someone help with this problem........?

i guess because sky do not want them to use this is they want to secure the market for themselves just like ntl wont let them into there vod market

The NTL software is capable of doing multiscreen for Sky Sports - but it would require Sky to write the software for NTL and of course, there's no reason for Sky to do this, especially when its a major selling point for getting Sky.

you should be able to get this match streamed via the net.. if it's on sky check out the sky web site and there should be details on there

also i've got a UEFA.com subscription so I can watch all the matches online

Tell me more please...

i paid £30 an basically i get ALL the games streamed live via their web site.. not actually had to watch any live though

i can then either watch the whole match at a later date.. highlights or just select key moments like goals.. there's also a round up clip of all the goals from each night

when i watch the replays and stuff there is no commentary not sure what you get during live games

get a few more features and stuff but they are usally free on their site anyway

you can also just pay a one month i think for 4.99

you also get access to the archive and can watch any game from about 96 also without commentary.. it's only windowed and not widescreen but it's ok for me

Hmm, just had a look. It definitely looks interesting (if only for the pay per view option - £3 per match). It looks as though the subscription does not include live matches though?

i thought you could buy individual matches as well.. i got the full years one which seems worth it to me although it doesn't work when i'm at work

Your all missing the point. I alrerady subscribe to Sky sports, I dont want to have to pay more on top of what I already do, just because NTLs system is lacking.......
