nellyp Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I have just moved and am sorting out my TV options. I am thinking of going for a true package this time, but only really want it to watch the football (when it starts again) and the rugby world cup, does anybody have any idea if I will be able to watch the rugby world cup on True???????Previously I could watch all the epl on cable in Sisaket but do not have that option here (Kaset Wisai, Roiet)so am going for satellite. Any help or advice greatly appreciated. Cheers Edited May 31, 2011 by nellyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmos Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 don't know what channels True offer - if EuroSport is included, they are the ones saying they are showing the RWC TF1, France Télévisions and CANAL+ are pleased to announce the signature of an agreement on the broadcast rights for the 2011 IRB Rugby World Cup. Under the agreement, the TF1 Group, exclusive owner of the rights for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, is ceding part of its rights to France Télévisions and CANAL+, which will broadcast 28 out of the 48 matches of the competition. TF1, which broadcasts the biggest sports events, is airing its fives Rugby World Cup. The Group will propose enhanced editorial coverage based on an exclusive 360 offering (TV, Internet, mobile telephony, tablets and catch-up TV) that brings viewers comprehensive content on all Group channels and media, including TF1, Eurosport, LCI and tf1.fr. TF1 will broadcast live 20 World Cup matches, including the key group-phase matches – of which three French team games – and two quarterfinals (between the teams from France’s group). TF1 will air exclusively and live the semi-final and third-place matches and the final. It will also broadcast the opening and closing ceremonies and the trophy presentation live. The TF1 Group is delighted with the agreement, which enables it to cover the event via all of its editorial platforms and thus bring the public total coverage of the Rugby World Cup: - On TF1: along with the matches themselves, the channel will broadcast special reports in its 1 pm and 8 pm news shows, with coverage building up ahead of the event. During the competition, TF1 will air a magazine focusing on the matches. - On Eurosport: TV viewers will get coverage of the entire event with re-broadcasts of all 48 matches and a daily talk show live at 10.30 pm.

StreetCowboy Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I couldn't get any info on Astro, the Malaysian satellite channel that you should be able to get in Thailand; too early, I think. Anyway, they carry Eurosport. At the very least, I am optimistic that they will have it on a separate subscription. I suppose I should be saving my leave...

Atmos Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) ^ I have Setanta Astro SuperSports as well as EuroSport on cable tv, and it seems Setanta are not showing RWC However, as always . . .anything could happen. From their website Setanta Sports is a must for all rugby union fans in Asia. Watch live and exclusive coverage of the RBS Six Nations, the Magners League, the Aviva Premiership, Super Rugby, the Amlin Challenge Cup, the ITM Cup, the Currie Cup, as well as the Tri-Nations and the November Internationals.

Twin Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Astro has announced they will show the World Cup. And in HD as well! Although there are no details, I'll bet every game is available live on one of their Pay Per View packages on Astro Box Office Sports. http://www.astro.com.my/mypackages/articles/art_5157.html Any bar that has Astro will certainly pay for this package. So far, True has not announced any plans to cover this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, True has not announced any plans to cover this. I'm hoping it will be free, like the Commonwealth Games, but some of the recent cricket was additional charge. Money well spent, I suppose, if it saves me going to the pub to watch it, and I end up having a couple of pints and then off down Soi Cowboy... and I won't need to hide the scissors, either SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this link will work, http://www.astro.com...ide.php#5314331 so I quote "(L) RWC21011: NZL v TGA" Astro Supersport 3 (817) commencing about 1515 (THAI) EDIT: Confirmed - the link does NOT take you to the right place You had me quivering in dread for a moment there... I've not confirmed the Scotland game the following morning, nor the England game in the afternoon - I will check tomorrow... SO I think the matches ARE being shown on supersport - and also the opening ceremony prior to the match discussed above. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
