Premier League TV football choice 'upheld' by EU advice

[Astral Weeks]

So if you wanted to watch it from home on your TV what stuff do you need.

A decoder,19'' dish and a viewing card.

And a Greek phrase book.

What's Greek for "Did you smash it?".

[Chico Hamilton III]

Portsmouth pub landlady Karen Murphy, fined for using a Greek service, had argued the EU single market should let her use any European provider.

Can we call the new ruling "Murphy's Law"?

[WikiVilla]

So I'll still be watching Scandinavian TV in the Red House then....

Didn't realise they had the dodgy satellite in there, i've been hacking down the Hobs Meadow to watch Villa away games

Play only Premier League games on a sunday afternoon, with TV coverage for all games through the red button, then all games in all other leagues have saturdays to themselves, might increase their attendances as well.

The only worry is the amount of junior football played on a sunday afternoon.

Is it legal to stream online?

Ticketless saddos like me should be alright in Blackpool next week then.

Maybe if Sky did'nt charge pubs and clubs so bloody much then they would'nt have to do what they're doing.

Exactly, I don't know of one pub where I live now that has Sky as it's so expensive. Plenty have these cheap alternatives though...

Whilst I should rejoice at anything that undermines the hold that Sky have on the game, I do worry that if will simply hasten the end of the collective negotiation of TV rights.

They have this channel at the Boot (opposite Good Hope) which shows pretty much all the villa away games.

Tbh it's a no brainer as this Nova thing only costs them 800 quid while pretty sure I read somewhere Sky costs pub around 7000 a year?

148 BGN (~ 65GBP) equipment + 16 BGN (~7GBP) monthly for the package that gets both channels showing premiership football (Diema and Nova Sport). You get 6 PL games per weekend + FA cup games (don't know how many) + you get between 4-6 CL games in CL weeks plus UEFA cup games. (plus quite a lot of other stuff like Spanish primera, Bundesliga, Russian top division may be italy too etc.)

Even I would be tempted.

Of course what woyuld happen is that Sky would become the EUROPEAN broadcasters and there would be limited (if any) reselling to other broadcasters.

I think there's money to be made buying the kit locally Tsvet and bringing over to Birmingahm and re-selling!

I will take Viasat package which shows all the premier league games live, plus Champions League (about 35 pr Month) and in HD.
