I would take a RM50 football package if they did something like the US or Australia do by showing all 380 Epl matches instead of putting only the big team and their matches on tv and the rest on AOG. Do something like the world cup and i'll take the bait.

Wish they would bring SkysportsNews in since they took away FoxSportsNews. So hard to watch goals in the morning now.

Yeah but who's gonna pay for it? The Premier League will not let anyone have it for free. It's a cash cow for them. I dunno how the PL segregate the rights for Asia but it seems like country to country. Asstro holds the right currently to broadcast BPL matches/highlights/clips etc in Malaysia & Brunei only. Fox Sports meanwhile can only broadcast matches to Malaysia only it seems. By having Fox Sports to broadcast certain games, it denies Hypptv the rights to show those games under Fox & Supersport 3. Which is why Fox almost always show Man Utd games (largest viewership I guess). But of coz, hypptv has MUTV but I'm not sure if they show MU's live games or not.
*
While I do agree that Astro should not get monopoly power of all the BPL games, we must consider what is happening in the UK now.

For almost two decades, SKY had complete control of the rights to the games. When the regulators stepped in to stop the monopoly, Sky had to share the rights. While it broke their stranglehold on the games, it also burdened the fans who now have to pay 2 separate pay-tv operators to access more games. Sky have more matches but BT also has their fair share. You dont get all the matches through one pay-tvt though.

this is why i hope malaysians bpl fans should becareful what they wish for. Yes we hate astro coz they keep hiking d sports package due to rising content fees. Yet i dont want to pay them and tm for access to games if they share the rights.

imagine u need tm for BPL but astro has champions league, la liga, bundesliga plus formula one, rugby, nba, wwe etc. Malaysians simply arent ready for that. next season, sky has lost the rights for champions league to BT so fans in the UK need Sky for the majority and biggest games for BPL and also pay BT to watch d champions league

The best thing is for Astro n TM to show whatever each other has but offer better prices, packages, internet connections n etc.

btw, from next season, the German Bundesliga will move to the Fox Sports Network from their current Astro Supersport home. So one less league Supersport aRe paying for. Maybe to pay a bit more for BPL?

wow.. really?
i personally are not a fans for football, so i am not effected by this, but it would be a "disaster" if that would be happen here where u have to pay both to get best of both world...
like i said earlier, its quite scary that BPL rights is expensive..
*
Yes that is what happens in the UK.
.
Sky show 126 matches and BT 42. So you need to subscribe to both to get to watch the games. Thats juz d BPL. Sky have League Cup, Spanish league n cups but then BT has the FA cup, champions league, europa league n etc. so if u are a football fan, u will pay a lot.
.
Personally, while agree Astro should not get the monopoly here, they are the only one that can give access to everywhere in Malaysia. City or kampung, astro can give u that.
.
but TM cant even get unifi to a suburban place where my parents live so how can my dad watch his football? So for now, it can only stay with Astro.

Just sharing Some screen shots of the recently launch Eleven ch and Eleven Sports ch. Info on the internet indicates launching in MAL soon.

Would be weird if they were to launch here since most of their content is held or shown by Supersport channels

How i wish! All we get is Astro's own set of pundits. Especially the arrogant Abbas Saad.

Quite happy Fox Sports have chosen steve dawson instead of ben ibrahim as the host for their coverage.

hmmm i guess it's the right time for me to downgrade my astro package and look for alternatives. i watched more of serie a than epl. and how can they prefer for eridivisie over ligue 1?  vmad.gif

To be fair, Eridivise is held by Fox Sports so had nothing to do with Astro. But Astro have just dropped the league and not replace it with another.

Fox did not buy licensing for this one, and only Setanta does. Can't really blame Astro on this one because both channels are not Astro owned
*
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.

Fox Sport 2 in Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia is showing Rugby World Cup without additional fee while Astro requires subscribers to subscribe to SETANTA for freaking RM53 to enjoy RWC. greed has no limit.

Just to update.

It looks like Astro will not be showing the English Capital One League Cup this season too.

So Astro only have the rights to the Bpl, Champions League and Europa League. Looks like they are saving their money to win the new rights for the next 3seasons of d BPL which is coming soon.

The list of leagues Astro have dropped:
1. Italian Serie A
2. French Ligue 1
3. English League Championship.
4. English Capital One League Cup.
5. Spanish La Liga - Previous rights was with Fox Sports
6. German Bundesliga - dropped by Astro, picked up by Fox Sports
*
So basically sports pack customers paying for a reduced content version? Before this, astro use d excuse that due to rising cost of content, they need to hike up d price. But now? Since they reduce the content, y no one brought this up?

Astro troll sports pack customers lel
