SKY AND BT SPORTS NEXT SEASON.

Next season Uefa champion league football is no longer available on Sky and ITV.
I wonder if Sky has another strategy?.
Bt sports has already won in court that their customers can subscribe to Sky Sports
BT are winners?.

 

So has sky got exclusive rights to all of it?

 

BT has all the rights.

 

From the graudian
"As a non-paying television viewer will I be able to watch the Champions League?
Yes. As part of the negotiations, Uefa insisted that some matches, including both finals, were shown free-to-air in order to preserve the value of its sponsorship deals and ensure that they could be seen by a wider audience. Under the current agreement, one game in every round of Champions League matches is shown on ITV, as well as some Europa League games. BT has promised that every participating British team will be shown free at least once a season to non-subscribers. Also, ITV could yet pick up a highlights package."

dont know if BT have gone back on this deals but looks like some will be free, I get BT sport included in my package at the moment though so I am ok plus there is always watching online if not.
Dont think it will affect the way many people thibnk re TV packages but pubs etc might as the CL games are important with them all being night matches,.

 

£5 a month from next year

 

Is that for people with BT internet? I've got it with a virgin package will I have to pay extra or not?

 

tw@s!

 

And Sky have increased theirs. Hilarious! The quality of their product diminishes yet they charge more. Ridiculous the way it's going - it's not even like paying the full wack (£60/70 now?) gives you the ability to watch every game!

 

Nothing a month for All games via computer with crystal clear pic and no buffering.

 

I am with Virgin have top tv package so get BT Sport free. But skysports package with Virgin has just gone up again. The price is getting ridiculous thinking of going over to BT what is the TV like on BT compared to using Virgin cable?

 

Same but I bought a Now TV box to watch the Sky Sports games on. Its £6.99 for a 24hr pass but if you go on Ebay you can pick them up for about £3-£4 each. Works out cheaper if you only ever watch Liverpool. Most they were on TV in a single month last season was four time (happened once) which works out cheaper (£27.96 if paying the full £6.99 a time) then the Sky Sports subscription (£28pcm)

 

What about the final is that only going to be BT subscription or are BT going to make it free to air?

 

People still pay to watch football on tv??

 

I use my Android box and it is, for the most part.. HD perfect for live sport.

 

Cheers Gerrez thats a cracking idea never thought about that. I mainly watch Liverpool games, watch other games when nothing else on but can live without seeing them.

 

Just read that as from next season BT Sport Customers (even those who get it free with BT Broadband), will have to pay £5 a month in order to watch UEFA Champions League and Europa League matches.
Also Gary Lineker has joined the list of pundits for BT Sport?!?!
Does this mean his is leaving MOTD?

EDIT: Just re-read, Broadband customers still get it free.
Bt Sports package subscribers will have to pay the additional £5 though.

 

I know, obeying the law, what an outdated concept.....

 

As long as there are enough law abiding citizens like you Tobes, who pay to watch TV, then the leechers will be able to get it for free

 

So the best way to stop the leechers is if everyone stops paying?

 

So if you don't pay to watch football on tv that's breaking the law????
