Digitalb to show 3PM's - Non-platform specific satellite TV

gcaerials&sats · 14-07-2009, 17:56

A friend of mine spoke to the MD at Marconi a week or so ago, and he confirmed that Digitalb WILL be showing 3pm games this season.

As one of the biggest importers of the cards into the UK, I would be suprised if he wasn't in the know.

Anyone heard anything to prove/disprove this? I know that it was promised last season and never materialised, but fingers crossed the man on the inside mine have word from the horses mouth

No offence to Marconi but never take the advice of someone who is trying to sell you something!

I would imagine it will be the same as last year; cannot see any reason why it would change.

As above .....

THE MAN IN THE KNOW ----DARKMAN

[says dodgyalb is fighting through the courts about this....yeah ok mr darkman!]

If you want the sky/espn games and the odd midweek games then ok.

otherwise i would look elsewhere if you want 3pm coverage.

vistahypno · 15-07-2009, 08:50

Am I right in saying that at present it looks impossible to get 3pm games next season WITH english commentary unless you are willing to pay an extortionate amount?

fearona · 15-07-2009, 08:52

Canal+ 1 west or showtime. 3pm games with bulgarian audio available via diema card.

wod1 · 15-07-2009, 11:01

what about max tv on 5e i've been told they will show 3pm games as they open eurosport 2 channel ?

what satellite is diema on 39e if so i cant get that far around now with new dish.

looks like i'll be skint for the next year, getting 1west

Diema can be found on 16e also but the picture is blury sometimes, it won't be as good as 1w. I am still trying to sort my 1w card but it will be better once Thor 6 arrives later this year. I cannot pickup Thor 3 on my dish so I am missing some channels.

With digitalb, don't believe it until it actually happens. Remember, it was definite 100% that they would resume showing 3pm matches in December last year, which never materialised.

wod1 · 15-07-2009, 19:04

i doubt the fa has stopped them as they will want foreign tv providers to show the games to make money from overseas rights.

it will most likely be for some other reason why they stopped showing 3pm games, like how easy the cards are to get ?

also didn't tring tv have the rights for champions league for Albania ?

Manc-Red · 15-07-2009, 20:50

Digitalb HD currently open with Supersport sub on 16e btw

johnwilliam · 15-07-2009, 23:47

the chances of digialb showing 3pms are next to nil as far as i see it , they were advertising not so long ago and italy were showing most games for next year followed by spain then england, (somewhere about 224 games roughly)

Premiere HD · 18-07-2009, 11:38

And what about he others providers which failed to show 3pms last year? Any news there?

BTW, Sky Germany will expand its EPL transmissions again by live coverage at any kick-off, but still no games simultaneously. HD is impossible too because there's always Bundesliga on the HD channel when the EPL is on.

Other leagues are still doubtful, La Liga has the biggest chances but more would be surprising.

I think the guy originally posted this thread was being honest but the Marconi guy was talking tripe to get possible subscribers, same as last year with Darkclown on Al*at doing the same thing with his amazing November 3pms predictions.

£300 quid for a years sub!! Robbery - I got mine for 210 euro.

P M me please from where you got the card from as £200 is the max I would pay.

If you could PM me also that would be very handy. Thanks very much.

Manc-Red · 15-08-2009, 12:01

no 3pms - but the picture & audio is superb, Widescreen too

Premiere HD · 15-08-2009, 12:52

Widescreen? Really?

Do you have to strech the picture or is this done automatically?

Auto - output is in 16:9 Premiere - really good quality m8

Premiere HD · 15-08-2009, 13:08

Wow! Wouldn't have expected that! Last season the PQ varied a lot; I haven't subscribed so far because sky Germany gives me enough EPL matches which is still the most important for me. And unfortunately no 3pms is useless.

Are you able to take screenshots? Would be very kind!

You cant - you need to upload it to somewhere like photobucket and give us the link.

Premiere HD · 15-08-2009, 13:44

You can upload it here e.g.: www.imageshack.us and post the link.

Cheers! I'm looking forward to it. But even your mobile pic looks like they have improved a lot. Did you subscribe to them last season? Sometimes it was very shitty and only 4:3.
