Of course, if you have a decent VPN, the games are on BBC and ITV, so you could watch them on BBC iPlayer and the ITV Hub.

Wow.....thanks for that..........I had written them off on the assumption it was Sky only....

 

Having said that I am English and assume  I will seriously disappointed.......watched the 1966 World Cup, live, in a German bar......and it has been downhill ever since.

Was the CL too expensive?

 

The rights to the CL were bought for this area by DAZN who never showed it, which is why we watch CL games on dodgy streams. Hopefully next time round Truevisions or BEin will buy it so we can watch in peace on the telly.

The bookies are making England the favourites and I would love them to win it but I just don't see it happening under Southgate. I have a sneaky feeling the Italians are gonna do it. Not lost a game in 2 years under Mancini...

Thanks for sharing it says it will end in 2020/21 so let's hope someone else gets it!

They broadcast games on the internet. I watched Spurs v Liverpool and PSG v Bayern on my phone. Commentary was English and pretty good, even David Pleat. DAZN pulled out of the deal this season and nobody picked up the rights for Thailand in their place.

Fortunately, I can now watch Euros, EPL, Champs Lge and Europa Lge via my local provider.

What politics is this?

They have every right to support their fellow players.

Everyone wanted to get fans back to stadiums and what do you get?

Racists booing the team.

The politics started as a response to BLM protests over the death of a petty criminal and drug addict thousands of miles away which is a Marxist organization. Now they changed that to claim this pointless virtue signaling is a protest against inequality, by millionaires earning a weekly fortune! All this knee bending does is create division, nothing else. It's nothing to do with fellow players, none have them have been killed and football has had anti racism going on for years without this nonsense. If they have a right to make fools of themselves the fans have a right to boo them for it

Fans are NOT booing the team they are booing the political bowing down to BLM.

I'm subscribing to teatimetv for a month for BBC/ITV. Technically it's still a stream but is better than the bog standard free stream on the net. Can also watch highlights the next morning.

100% bang on. Southgate has let himself down badly, I thought he had a bit more about him and was intelligent enough to 'get it' but no. Critisizing the fans for booing is the same as saying they can't have an opinion. Disgraceful. It's a real shame that this nonsense is going to overshadow the football.

I tried TV Mucho - I'm afraid I wasn't impressed. My VPN costs me only $3 a month and I get the full use of BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All4, My5, Netflix UK, etc.

Can you say the name of the VPN?

I notices the same thing. 

 

If I’m not mistaken the Euro’s are being shown on ITV and BBC iPlayer....  so with a VPN we can watch them on the computer (although I think screen mirroring from the computer to TV is an issue with iPlayer).

 

Another option is something called ‘BritBox’ which has all UK TV...  I’ve not yet tried that.

 

https://watch.britbox.co.uk/hub

 

 

 

Does britbox have catch up, too? I assume not. And does it stream well?

i see they have an offer until 30/6 for 2.99 a month for 3 months, plus 30 day free trial. Ta.

DAZN IS a stream, so what difference would it have made anyway?

 

I'd be surprised if True get the CL back.

The difference is/was that previous holders of the rights for the CL in Thailand showed it via tv, but DAZN didn't sell it on to the tv providers here = having to watch via a website on the internet and buffering problems etc.

Ok, if that's the case, fair enough. When you say tv providers here you mean True I assume, as I can't think of anyone else (tv company not streaming) here that would show it or have the means to buy it? Maybe True didn't want to stump up for it?

They probably didn't.

 

BEin also have a nice little paid-for app here I use for FA Cup games. THB 59 for a week, very reasonable and good quality.

 

DAZN bought the rights but did what with it here; not a lot.

Yea I've tried the BEIN website, not the app, cheap for sure, but I had a lot of buffering with it.

Never had buffering or poor quality with the BEin app. Wish they'd have more coverage of English football (not interested in the French, Spanish etc league football they show).

 

Let's hope in 2021/22 we get decent coverage of the CL here in Thailand. 

[Bangkokhatter]

Up to now BEIN are only showing as providing games in MENA area, shame as their product is usually good. Maybe it will change before it starts.

 

BBC and ITV will be available via VPN but you cannot trust them. Last World Cup i was finally blocked just before half time in the semi-final ????

The BEIN app would be somewhat more expensive if they showed the PL.

 

I can't watch football on a phone and I've never learnt how to cast/mirror it on to my tv, I've tried but it didn't work.

 

I'm not confident on the CL next season tbh.

Not sure on his management skills but Southgate is spot on when criticizing the racists booing his team.

Who do you think will get it?  Is it an open bid or is it a fixed price?  I am sure True will want to bid maybe even AIS or TOT if they want to develop their IPTV channels
