I have the full sky package, but unless they change their attitude to non Premier League coverage I'm out as soon as my contract ends. Sky sports news is ALL about the PL. Transfer show ALL PL, early morning show ALL PL! There are 72 clubs in the EFL, and 20 in PL, yet PL get 90% coverage....I've had enough!
Sadly its the same with the sports radio stations, I used to listen to talk sport but its always about the top 6 all day long, with the occasional programme about the smaller clubs.
Said it before but i'm not sure why the Premier league don't just forget everyone else and launch their own Netflix style app for premier league.
20 quid a month and show ALL games including Saturday 3pm ones.
100 million subscribers worldwide and you're bringing in 2 billion a month. When you consider the amount of homes plus bars/pubs that would subscribe throughout the entire world it's likely to be even more in reality.

I think that’s always been the long term plan.
Seem to remember reading at the start the season that Premier League Productions, which they use in other countries has had a lot of investment recently.
Sky went ages ago in my house. IPTV and a VPN works lovely.
I have the IPTV for a bit of Saturday afternoon football. But the picture and sound quality ain’t as good as the legitimate stuff.
This, IPTV is ok but it's not the same quality and due to its nature channels can go offline. Currently watching the Charlton game in UHD, currently IPTV services cannot match that. Neither can Amazon prime when they stream games, pretty sure they used too but have dropped it.
@charltonkeston see if your provider has a scaled up service. I recently bought into the upgrade with mine and we were in crisp uhd with 50fps today. Beautiful. Shame about the football.

You need to change your IPTV provider, mine gives the option of UHD, HD and normal to suit internet download speeds and the UHD is as sharpe as a pin
Every time the bidding starts for a new round of Premier League matches a lot of people say "that's it Sky are going to lose everything" and every time they get the most matches and generally the pick of the best matches at the best times. I don't watch all the football that's televised but find Sky give the best coverage of what I do watch.
I don't know if that works with the rules around one company showing all the games, I guess that wouldn't apply to the PL themselves. Either way, if it's Apple of the PL, I just can't see Sky keeping the volume of games they need in order to avoid haemorrhaging subs.
Regarding the point around youngsters and attention spans - Amazon showed the way forward IMO with their coverage. Watching the goals come in from a variety of games at the same time, particularly when you have a Fantasy team, is far more interesting to me than sitting through a match of a team I don't support. That kind of approach, along with putting the content into bitsize pieces designed for social media, is the way forward.

Definitely. An NFL RedZone type product for the Premier League would be a game changer. I believe Germany is already doing something like this for the Bundesliga..?
Soccer Saturday but actually being able to see what’s going on instead of just having it described to me by Paul Merson…

Mind sharing the details?
I am guessing TCE has pointed you in BBW direction?

the pic quality can be down a bit but my internet isn’t all that

The IPTV most of us use on here is top notch and offers UHD quality and there really isn’t any need to back it up with other subscriptions
