TRUE BEIN & EPL ?

[prk888]

Seems CTH will lose EPL in May after 3 years and B300m (or was it US$300M?).

As we know TRUE lost 1,000s & 1,000s of customers

Any ideas re what TRUE/BEIN might be charging bearing in mind the alternative download options now available for EPL ?

What alternative options are now recommended?

As of yet there is no clue as to what platform BEin will be using to show EPL.

Its my belief from doing some research that a Chines group has won the EPL contract for the coming three years.

If this is accurate then a local company as True or CTh will,have to buy the distribution rights from them. This could be costly.

Patience, and wait no doubt till the eve of next season when in true local fashion it will all come together.

read today that BEIN have nearly gained the rights to EPL for a reported US$300,000,000 (a done deal by end of June ?).

True Visions expect to get the all-rights broadcasting sub-licence in Thailand from BEIN

But ..... so the report says so do other broadcasters !

TrueVisions will launch a new sports package at B299 a month effective almost immediately and that;s exclusive of possible EPL

EPL could be costly for the coming season whoever gets it here

Watch this space .......

It involves doing things that this web site will not allow to be discussed.

I lost count but I can watch 12 Bein sports channels, or are it 16 without anyone sending me a bill, so I guess I'll be able to watch EPL if I want.

Stream it.

Do what I do. Go to bed early on Saturday not knowing any scores and watch Match of the Day on BBC1 on catch up TV with Sunday breakfast. You can repeat it again on Monday morning with MOTD2.

Believe me, I've tried all the other systems, True Vision, CTH and cable. My above method I find by far the most relaxing. It also allws me to watch cricket on Saturday evenings.
