Devlin just blurted in passing that Sky and Bein have done a deal - Sky will have two football channels; one premier league, the other showing other euro leagues... didn't elaborate - perhaps busted the embargo.
As much as I hate Skodafone, I hope it's true.

Hope all games are live but can't see that being the case.

...and as all football knowledge in NZ seemed to start in 2010, they will basically play MUFC, CFC and MCFC games live and the rest suffer.
If true I expect the new channels would cost more rather than be included with sport.

I just want cricket, football and surfing. Who the hell wants to watch 3 channels of union, league and cycling??!
Mixed news for me personally... great that someone will show it, and I can at least drop one bill, even if it's not the one that's the worst bang for your buck (sky), also great if there's a dedicated channel, but now we won't have all games available live, and if they do charge extra for these channels then that'd be an absolute shocker, given the huge amounts I already pay just to get the bloody box in my tv cabinet in the first place.
First reaction was of happiness that at least someone will screen it legally in NZ, and then despair at the realisation that I will not be getting rid of Sky for at least another year :(
Key questions (and anticipated answers):
1) Will it be more expensive than PLP? Most likely.
2) Will it be live & on demand? Their web based platform doesn't seem to be able to handle this.
3) Will our money be going to an organisation who at their very core is rotten? Yes.
Dam, I was dreading (but expecting) that news..
I really hope they offer an online gateway to access it, tho i would have thought Euro 2016 would have been a perfect test bed for it, but alas not even on FanPass...

Can't see them standing up anything new in time for the season kick-off unfortunately...
shame is Vodafone already have the devices in place to do this, unfortunately this is limited to customers with Vodafone TV boxes (cable customers)
Be great if they show the Championship. Newcastle, Villa, QPR.

Yea, I don't care for the PL this season lol! Where's the mighty championship??
best news this week
Footballs coming home
Tim Martin announcing something on Devlin's show this morning... not sure what but the inference from Doull was moving toward an online offering for whatever sport you want. How far and in what direction I guess we'll wait and see.
How awesome it would be if you could get EPL either via Sky or PLP/LBS... that would be the ultimate - everyone's a winner!
Keep us updated if you hear it Surge (or anyone else).

Ah yeah, see it was announced this morning all the golf is going back to Sky.
Fudge sky. Looks like I'm going to have to find alternate ways of watching the EPL next season.
Oh man I completely forgot about the limitations with Sky... only some games live... farking rubbish
I think best to wait and see what kind of package comes out for the EPL. They have been putting a lot of work into this so would expect some improvements.

I believe this wasn't possible before because of something to do with limited bandwidth... No idea if that has changed.

Guessing red button still doesn't allow you to record more than one at a time?

I'm shocked.
How will this affect HAL coverage?
I don't think they bother with the A-League in India.
Was just wondering if they will put the HAL behind another paywall or not focus on it at all if they are investing so much into overseas comps.
Bein Sports Premier League coverage will be available online similar to Premier League Pass according to Richard Last from SKY TV on Tony Veitches show.
Premier League on SKY will be via a Premier League specific channel (extra cost like the Rugby Channel). Will be a 24 hour channel carrying all sorts of shows + live games.
