Had exactly the same thought

Robbie & Owen surplus to requirements in the commentary box, just having Hoddle without either of them would be so much better.

Sort that out and the logos and then BT's coverage would be pretty good. Ian Wright was on great form today.

In other news, I see Sky Sports News are making a big deal about winning the rights to show the Pakistan tests, something that would probably have hardly been a headline a few weeks ago.

BT should employ Andy Gray, best there is.

They seem to be doing quite well on Bein sports. Didn't realise how big Bein Sport have got.

I'm pretty sure they're Qatar based and have satellite and internet operations throughout the Middle East. I subscribed to their service a while ago but cancelled after a couple of weeks as the promised Premier League games weren't being shown on their internet channels. From memory, they had a couple of dozen sports channels and covered football from all over the world, rugby, cricket etc. etc. They also had general entertainment & documentary channels as well as numerous movie channels similar to those that Sky offer. It's a big operation and I don't think they're short of a bob or two.

So anyone with a computer could subscribe I guess? Can you get any of their channels on the a Sky box,I.e. by manually tuning in?

No, the satellite footprint is restricted to the Middle East & N. Africa. They weren't too fussy about taking my money but a lot of their football rights don't allow internet transmission, which is what I wanted - they refunded my money very quickly and without any hassles.

Not too sure if Premier League Pass operating out of NZ may be worth looking at.

OK thanks for that. Does sound like it's not for me as I only like football when it comes to sport

I've linked to the last page but if you go backwards you'll get the idea. Don't start from the beginning because the thread was started 2 years ago.
