ASSP 3 will broadcast 'live' coverage of BPL (Barclays Premier League) games as well as also feature highlights, preview and magazine programs around the BPL. ASSP 3 will also broadcast other football plus a variety of other sporting genres.

astro supersports 3 is on channel 817 from 14 august?

The latest Astro ad about ASSP 3 states that it will start on the 13th. We will also be seeing Jason Dasey again for the pre-shows on the channel. But we  can still see John Dykes in some of the programmes. So I guess not too bad. But the inclusion of ASSP HD in this season's broadcast means that more matches will be in HD. Woohooo!

UPDATE: ASSP 3, CH 817 has started broadcasting.

817 in HD ?

I think ASSP 3 just broadcast on SD feed. 
But how astro want to handle 2 simultanouesly live HD BPL game? ASSP HD broadcast La Liga and Serie A in the weekend. 
So just ESPN HD are available for HD match

Didn't Astro said on FB that new update is for all Astro decoder?

Noticed some of the sport programmes are upscaled in HD channels, i.e. Ch 831 & Ch 832, eg. yesterday the golf channel was upscaled in Ch 831, it's very obvious !

My little comment to Astro, a 'repo' HD satellite broadcast company, please remove the 'HD' on the logo the programme is upscaled and not to confuse your HD viewers OR simply move the programme to SD channels please.

Just going back from asstro CS branch to ask them to check my decoder regarding the recording problem,
but unfortunately they say they don't do technical part at CS branch. WTF !! 

So what the purpose of CS branch? Just accept bill payment? 

It's not too bad,  Astro doing in house broadcast for BPL this year. Now we have two sets of pundits, Astro's and ESPN's. We can watch ESPN's pre shows then switch to ASSP for the live game.

Err..there's no ESPN pre-show on both matches screened by Supersport (Chelsea v W.Brom & Lpool v Arsenal).

It's bonkers really the current arrangement. ESPN/Star has the full schedule of "big" matches but Astro retain the right not to show this on ESPN. Apart from the appalling pundits (Peter Barnes?) who don't really give much analysis at all (Example...Joe Cole's red card last night, instead of repeating that it's a harsh decision, McMahon or Serbie would have said what was Joe Cole doing tackling a defender in the opposition's half?). Any match shown on Supersport will not get the commentary feed from Sky Sports thus last night's match (Lpool v Arsenal), we didn't get the Martin Tyler/Andy Gray commentaries. Jason Dasey is OK but it would help him if his pundits were more "analytical". Get Serbie back to Astro for goodness sake. At least he's more analytical though sometimes we may not agree with his opinion but that's the nature of a football pundit not someone who repeats or say something most already know.

First weekend of BPL coverage on Supersport was disappointing to say the least!

Not very sure if the commentary is from Sky Sports as the production is from IMG Sports Media which cuts to London studio where John Dykes & guests are based.

Cheers.

Mio Stadium? Singtel's Mio Stadium? It's a web based broadcast, no? And ESPN lost John Dykes and Patrick Kinghorn to Mio? Based on the screen capture, they had Alan Curbishley and Lee Sharpe as their pundits. Is Mio available as cable TV in Spore?

Back to Ass coverage of BPL....

Yes the set for the pre-show looks huge and even more so on 16:9. Yes I agree that the presenter and their pundits should not sit so far apart. The set designer ought to be sacked! And as for Jay Menon..I was hoping her "football" dropped out last night    At least it would make things more interesting. I nearly fell asleep listening to Peter Barnes' babbles. I repeat I wish for Serbie to come back to Ass. BUT Serbie needs either McMahon or Masefield in order to click. It was hilarious when Patrick Kinghorn and McMahon locked horns the last few seasons. But it's all distant memory now.

Please Ass...spare us the agony and get better pundits. Those 3 last night were horrible. Speaking of which, who's the 3rd guy, a supposedly goalkeeper from Kelantan?? What a young ciku he is. I don't think he was even born when Liverpool last won the league.

im totally super duper agree wit u...im really hate that woman...really make me sick with her half naked dress...football doesnt need that

aiyoooo.....just watch foot ball la...dun watch the 'half naked almost' girl if u dun want....wut u need is football rite...and if got PVR....record then foward the girly scene k....dun angry2...

As paying subscribers, Astro should not short-changed viewers by cutting edges on production....my 2 cents.

yesterday's MU vs Nescastle match was commentaries  by Martin Tyler on ESPN HD

Let's say if i'm using HD Ready, can using Beyond?

So if my tv got HD Ready, Beyond can using? I tot need full hd tv...

I confirmed with this. The US Open Tennis will be show in this channel. Just not sure is this the temporaly channel or not...

bash the ESPN HD. and ASSP HD BPL in house pre-match show
