Yeah but I wont buy that excuse. You see, whenever there is an international match for example England vs New Zealand or just this past few days, France vs Scotland, the match was shown on both the Setanta Rugby channel and the normal Supersport channel. It has been that way ever since Setanta was still only through IPTV.
Yes it might be unfair to Setanta subscribers that the channel they are paying for is also shown through Supersport. But this is the Rugby World Cup. Astro just wanted to make extra money. You shouldnt pay extra for it. It should be treated like the football world cup where sports subscribers should get it. For those who dont have the sports package, they can buy a pass just for the world cup.
its not an excuse to u but it is excuse for them.
think of it as business prospective, not as subscriber prospective.
yeah, sure u want all sport available, but as an astro part, they need to buy that right to broadcast it.
sure they can broadcast it at astro supersport, but how long they will last? eventually some of sentanta subscriber will be mad at them and tell why they need to pay extra since they already broadcast it in supersport. that is when conflict will happen.
sure they suck your wallet to dry, but you cant blame them for everything
they are doing their business..
u also have the option to not subscribe to them
