Added on July 21, 2010, 3:07 amis anyone here good at information digging?i have tried my best but could not find the answer..
does anyone know what channel EPL will be on next season?I saw the ESPN n Star Sport promo for August and there is no mention about the EPL or Champions League..Usually u would get the promo in July for August in previous years..

Astro n ESPN won the rights for the next 3 seasons and that means Astro now have the rights to produce the entire programme and match presentations..I sure hope EPL wont be on their in house channels..It will be crap like hell with their 'own' PRESENTERS' and 'PRESENTATION'..
Always want to showcase woman on their football shows when the women only know about Man U, Beckham n Ronaldo!!!

So does anyone know the answer?

Jamie Yeo is from ESPN STAR Sports..so yes she does have good knowledge n can pronounce players names well
I was referring to the ladies from astro own shows
Jay Menon was ok but Jamie is better
Astro want sexy beautiful ladies only for football shows even if their footaballing knowledge is limited to Man U, Beckham and Rondaldo..

n yeah that Roshan guy is terrible..
Imagine if astro were to produce EPL pre, half time and post match shows every week with him as presenter

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just about to come here and rant about what i saw but seems the news is already infiltrated here..! i was watching Nadi Arena (AStro's CRAPPY version of Sportscenter)..yeah i said crappy coz a lot of their presenters either mumble or just screw up a lot of words while reading the freakin news!!!

They had news on Liverpool..and then at the end of the news they put a graphic on the screen and it read..
Liverpool vs Arsenal
15 August 2010
10pm on ASTRO SUPERSPORT!!!

WHAT??? NO more EPL on ESPN STAR SPORTS? Are u kidding me?
Just ask our Singaporean neighbours how bad they missed ESPN when they had in-house football people producing their EPL shows..and now those lucky Singaporeans will now get ESPN..guess what AStro do??? THEY DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE AND WANT TO PRODUCE THEIR CRAPPY VERSION OF EPL..!!!

Are we gonna get that Roshan guy hosting EPL shows? Or Jay Menon bringing us the latest news in a her skimpy outfits?? or Rashid Salleh mumbling through EPL news? Or even Shebby Singh?Dont tell me we wont get ESPN regular pundits 4 EPL anymore like Steve Mcmahon, Paul Masefield, Ex Man U Paul Parker, Jamie Reeves, Andy Penders, and the sometimes irritating but cool Andrew Leci? Not to mention other A-Class former EPL managers and players as guest pundit? n no more Jamie Yeo?

With the exception of Jason Dasey who is decent (but not as good as John Dykes), Astro presenters sucks so much..look at them reading the news on Astro Arena..so many mistakes..

THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING
DONT FIX WHAT IS NOT BROKEN ASTRO!!!

Added on July 23, 2010, 12:30 amJust to add on..if its not on ESPN, its not gonna be on ESPN HD too but Supersport HD right? I dont think Supersport HD can handle Serie A, La Liga, and now EPL..

n remember..before this astro said they wanna show all 380 EPL matches live..so could the new HD test channel be temporary channels on matchdays?

This post has been edited by dxjb: Jul 23 2010, 12:36 AM

The thing is Astro seems to have backtracked on what they said back in November2009 after winning the EPL rights..back then it was said they would show all 380 matches Live..but now it seems that they say all 380 will be available not saying that its Live..yeah its no big deal but thats a big thing to backtrack on..

Jamie Yeo can pronounce players and club names well..she corrected the other fella on Football Crazy many times..the thing is whoever Astro will select to be their lady on the shows will only now about Man U, Beckam, Ronaldo and Torres..

i agree with u that astro does relay the transmission quite faster than ESPN..thats a total positive I think..

yup..my core argument are the presenters..n not only that I do hate how the presenters discuss..look at the World Cup..at half time, they were only talking about what was on the screen instead of giving other analysis..it was a total ship wreck..n dont get me started on the Roshan guy..my goodness..he look scared like a little girl asking the questions..when he was doing outdoor reporting, mostly he was screaming and shouting..put him in the studio, and baaamm..can barely hear his voice..

Shebby was on duty with ESPN during World Cup but I doubt if he will be on Astro..he's better than what we have..Cottee will be be back in the Uk doing match commentary..who are we left with? Yeah..some low rate pundits..n just wait till astro calls up some fans from fanclubs of the teams to be a guest..owwhhh this does not look good..

PLEASE GOD LETS US HAVE MARTIN TYLER AND ANDY GRAY PLUS OTHER SKY SPORTS COMMENTATORS!
Thats the least we are asking for..huhuh

yeah..abbas saad is not that bad..he's also regularly called up by ESPN so that means something..
in fact all of astri geusts are pretty reasonable..
its just the host or oreseneters from astro that are crap except for Jason Dasey..
Roshan, Rashid Salleh, Pedro, Jay Menon, the chinese lady from the World Cup..imagine them doing EPL coverage..
Just watch Nadi Arena (Astro's own Sportscenter) 730pm every weekdays to see how bad their presenting are..

Yes..that is exactly the point of my frustration and anger..does Astro not know how bad the Singapore in-house channel failed and failed miserably to impress their Singaporean viewers? Our Singaporeans neighbours were cying out loud for the return of ESPN to show their EPL..they even set up a petition trying to have their EPL coverage on ESPN..now the Singaporeans have their wish come true because they will now enjoy EPL on ESPN..n what does Astro the genius do? Yup..throw away ESPN's coverage and produce their own! Based on their World Cup performance and presentation, Astro have a long way to impress the viewers..

Added on July 23, 2010, 9:35 pmAt that time I thought it was looking back on the 8years memory because John Dykes was leaving ESPN..
Only now we know its us who are leaving ESPN too..

---

Added on July 23, 2010, 9:40 pmi smell something fishy from Astro..
They wont tell anything regarding their football coverage for next season..
Is a Football package on the way like Singapore has?
A football channel perhaps?
Coz i cant figure out how astro will cram in EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Championship and domestic cups in 2 SD channels and 1 HD channel..unless they open up temporary channel when there are many simultaneous matches like in the World Cup?

This post has been edited by dxjb: Jul 23 2010, 09:40 PM

Sorry to dissapoint u bro..but no EPL on ESPN STAR SPORTS..all moved to Astro's crappy Supersport channel..just watch ESPN and Star Sports promo for August, no mention of EPL or the Champions League qualifiers..only community shield match..and astro arena announced Liverpool vs Arsenal on Supersport..so yeah..pretty much confirmed we gonna get AStro cheap in house presenting EPL..

4 those of u who know about football matcg timing..have a think about this..before this on a Saturday night Malaysian time u had..

7PM - EPL ON ESPN

10PM - EPL ON ESPN
- EPL ON STAR SPORTS
- BUNDESLIGA ON SUPERSPORT

12AM - EPL ON ESPN
- LA LIGA/SERIE A ON SUPERSPORT
- LIGUE 1 ON SUPERSPORT 2

2AM - LA LIGA/SERIE A ON SUPERSPORT N SUPERSPORT 2

Now the biq question is one of the these leagues will become victim of Astro putting EPL on Supersport..they can cram and show everything now could they? or instead of 4 EPL matches each night we are only gonna get 1 or maybe 2? gonna be some big changes i think..

Added on July 24, 2010, 2:40 amPlease GOD..i hope Atro does what mio tv is doing in Singapore!!!
Any football fans, read the link n u will also hope we get the channel SingTel has instead of what Astro will be giving us!!!
WE WANT JOHN DYKES!!!

I bet u follow Brighton n hove albion right? hehe btw bro..how do u follow them through BBC radio?
U mean live radio streaming..?
Astro showed not more than 10matches from the Championship last season..they started showing from December onwards..
quite pleased coz a lot of the matches involved my club Newcastle..hehe
Hope Albion get promoted and some of their matches will be shown

Thank you for your great source bro..
hope 'the plan' goes through..
Now lets see if we can get the best results from Astro's presentation..
The best part is new channel on the way..
Supersport 3 in the process..
coming soon

she did say it will be the last thing or option they will consider..
which will probably mean yes there will price hike a bit..

Added on July 25, 2010, 11:47 pmYes..there are certain EPL matches chosen by Sky Sports in the UK that has been and will be in 3D..
In the Uk last season, the 3D matches were only available in pubs and clubs..
Only this season they will be gradually conveying it into households..
So I guess the matches that 3D will on Sky Sports will also be available on Astro..

This post has been edited by dxjb: Jul 25 2010, 11:47 PM

Or Astro Arena will show the BIG matches in BM..like World Cup..
But its kinda weird..
Astro Arena is a channel that all astro customers have..
Its strange for them to have EPL on a channel that does not need sports package subscription..
Or they just going to show the highlights show only kot..

i once lived in the UK back in the 90's..at that time Sky Sports was pricey and since I was renting a home there, I did not want to get into conflict with the owners..and so i listened to the BBC' local radio coverage and it was fun..i listened all the time even though if it was the little team fighting it out..but for some reason like u said we dont have access to them on BBCiPlayer which is a real shame to be honest..

I too hope Astro could cover more games from the football league and hope that can change some of the Malaysians mindset that English football is not only about the EPL but take a look at the lower league games..playing on a dark winter afternoon, floodlights on, terrible pitch..but brilliant to my liking..hihi

just tell them the same excuse..and tell them to take a look at ur dish alignment..i think thats the problem

eh..anyone can tell me whether the various media player sold nowadays is compatible with Astro Byond? wpuld like to get a media player insteado fthe Byond PVR la..anyone knows?

Thanks in advance

by compatible, i mean i want to record any content from astro..i dont worry so much about scheduled recording..i'm just looking for a media player that can record astro..n i know they cant record the HD content right? i just want to record and keep the content for viewing pleasure in the future..

This one can give HD recording features? I mean we can record and watch in HD?
But the guy said he doesnt know if it can be used with Byond or not..
I'm very noob in thingy sorry to say..
