extremly FAIL!

no la liga...?



anyway since these league is minority here,,,we just gotta live with it then...watch via online instead

No. 2 please. In spite of the more popular BPL, there're also fans that watch other leagues. Come out with a football package and I'll be your first customer.

sigh*what can we do life is pain..watch online very boring need to refresh again and again..couldnt find a good stream la..haiz

Hye all..
Im the one that started the topic..
For you who do not know, Astro and ESPNSTAR signed a 3 year deal to show all 380 EPL matches LIVE starting from the 2010/2011 season.
It is not yet determined how Astro will show the matches.
The topic here is how would be the best way for Astro to show all the matches especially if there are matches played at the same time.

NEWS FOR fans of LA LIGA, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, SERIE A and other leagues:
At this moment in time, all the leagues that is available on Astro will continue to be available.
The EPL deal between Astro and ESPNSTAR does not effect the other leagues. Meaning all will be the same next season. The only difference is all EPL matches will be Live unlike now where there are around 5-6 matches only per week.

Hope that clarifies the concern of La Liga and Serie A fans

La Liga .. I believe still broadcasting on ASTRO Supersport HD/ASTRO Supersport?

While .. Serie A broadcasting on ASTRO Supersport 2? Who knows .. we might get Supersport HD2 soon?

i hope astro will focus on seria a top4 clubs..i hope la~

@nouruddines,
astro does focus on top clubs in serie a. milan derby was shown in supersport HD summore

but im using an old astro....haiz

we must wait and see how astro will handle the many football leagues and cups that are shown..

haha yall ppl 4got 2 mention that the commentary feed is way 2 boring that i tend 2 fall asleep in less than 5 minutes after match start i dont sense any atmosphere at all unlike EPL...so i hope astro will buy the SKYSPORTS feed 4 other liga if possible

any one here watched HD BPL on a FUll HD LCD TV before?
how is the quality and the clearness?

i am waiting for my Byond decorder to be install

was supposed to watch Arsenal vs United last week but working.

Yet, watched Wolfsburg vs United yesterday, I must say .. it was pretty good.

Yes, pay-per-view

Fully agree with u..
hate the fact that astro are doing the job half decent..
if they wanna provide us with the best package possible then get the SkySports feed.

I hate listening to comentators that are not working for SkySports..
The feed astro are receiving is from the FAPL feed..hate it..
spoils the mood and atmosphere

my byond decorder juz installed
one word to describe it AWESOME but i noticed tat CH811 and CH831 , both suppose to be Astro supersport show different shows although both suppose to be the same

anyone can enlight me ?

thx

haha ic...what is FAPL btw

FAPL stands for the FA Premier League..its the organisation that handles the Premier League..
Its different from the FA..
right now ESPN HD gets the commentary and pictures from the Premier League default source..
This means all the countries that have the rights to show the EPL will get the same package..
Only when there is a deal between a company and the FAPL and the broadcaster will then get a better package..
Thats why on normal ESPN they get the SkySports feed from the UK coz they have a deal with SkySports and the FAPL

Added on February 8, 2010, 1:21 amthe 811 and 831 channels are only the same in name
Not in content..
Not all the content in 811 is HD
Only certain football matches are available in HD
u will see a lot of ice hockey and nfl on 831..
another reason is, even if a programme is available in HD on 811, if astro dont have the rights to show them in HD then you wont see it in HD..
A big example was theCarling Cup Semi Finals between Manu U and Man City..
While there was a HD feed available for it, but astro dont have the rights then we didnt get it on HD
another example is WWE RAW..its available in HD but astro cant show them

But expect astro to work on getting the rights for these things now..
they are looking for more HD content to fill their programming on both 811 and 831 channels

Are they gonna switch to the SkySports commentary for ESPN HD? Even though I'm not a fan of Andy Gray, the current one is horrible. Or even better, they should allow the "Turn of commentary" option.

lets hope the HD football hav multi language , eg cantonese as i like the way they pronounce those players names in canto
