It'd be interesting to note the format, hopefully the contract would not be too long for them to 'switch back' if it all fails horribly. What's interesting is that SuperSport has 3 channels of which 1 is in HD. So I'd think 2-3 matches simultaneously? With only the 'selected' one in HD then.

As long as they don't use the other in-house english commentator, the chap who commentates on the MSL and J League, etc etc matches! He's quite bad IMO, not up to mark and doesn't do a lot of homework as well. I've not heard the rest doing the commentary (Jason, Jay, Roshan) so am not too sure of the 'standard' thus far. I just hope they use the actual feed from Sky or something.

3 years?! Hopefully it'll be SKY feed then, or even BBC/ITV. Not local ones, that's all we ask!

Well, I did see ads that say ESPN will also be bringing in some EPL content, so maybe it is really a collaboration between Astro and ESPN for the rights. The only thing I can think of is that they will try to bring up to 5 to 6 games LIVE (ch 811, 812, 813, 816, 831, 832, etc) all at once, so that this frees up time for other league's games. Maybe those not brought LIVE would be delayed or screened at a later time then. My 2 cents la.
