Amazon Readies Bid for English Premier League Soccer Streaming Rights

[badbrain]

I’d be down if it means I can watch watch Manchester United legally and more often, at a lesser cost than what Sky or BT currently offer.

50 quid or so you are looking at right now to keep up with the Premier League in the UK . Ridiculous.

It is ridiculous. I used my dads sky login in France for sky go, but quality was atrocious, and it was being paid for legally. Although, the vpn on my end was probably illegal.

Tried p2p sport, but wasn’t readable. Finally SFR (French ISP) offered a €10/month deal. Legal. More matches than BT and SKY each week. 3 on Sunday. 3 on Saturday. And whatever is on in the week. Result!

Sort it out UK providers, if only for your domestic customers.

Hammers all the way! (Down, I hope not with mofo Moyes).

I know, right? Like, we Americans still use feet, inches, miles, quarts, pints and acres. It's as if we made up our own language, rather than speaking proper "Europinglish" as the Brits do.

As the rest of the world does.

That would mean having to pay for 3 subscriptions to watch all of the EPL games. That’s just ridiculous and way too expensive. The government should scrap the policy of selling seven packages and just sell the EPL broadcast rights to one broadcaster.

Alternatively, I would much prefer it if I could just subscribe to watch all the games for my team.

It’s only because of the EU that they can’t sell to a single provider so for the auction after next they may well do so. Indeed frankly they could probably do it now, but the league enjoys playing companies against one another.

If they take Robbie Savage then fine let them have it.

If content like this or the Grand Tour further increase the price of the annual prime membership I‘m out. Last year it was nearly doubled.

But BT don’t allow streaming on Apple TV; and if they ever do, it will be restricted to BT Broadband customers, like their iOS app.

True that BT don't have a native app to Apple TV, then again, Sky Go ain't there either.
U can airplay fine from the sports app, been doing it for ages, like since it launched - the trick not to mirror the iPhone display via airplay & only tap the airplay icon on the video that's playing on phone / pad whatever!
