Another change in broadcasting on the horizon
Sports streaming service DAZN is apparently close to buying BT Sports after BT has decided to focus on its internet business, potentially yet another subscription for consumers who want to watch rugby

Re: Another change in broadcasting on the horizon
Guessing not another one just a different one as your BT Sport subscription would move to DAZN. Not a massive deal except for those on BT internet who get the cheap BT sport deal.
Re: Another change in broadcasting on the horizon
Potentially, I guess it will depend if DAZN just rebrand the channels or if they move it all onto their streaming service, if so that will mean certain people (admittedly not many these days) who don't have a smart TV or a computer wouldn't be able to watch Prem Rugby anymore

Re: Another change in broadcasting on the horizon
DAZN would be buying BT sport for their portfolio's but they are for broadcast television not streaming so they would be taking over their channels it wouldn't be much of a change

So long as it's not Amazon. (Oops, not allowed to criticise Amazon - post gets pulled)

Also in terms of what you get it's the most cost effectiveJimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 4:00 pmAmazon's coverage of the Premier League is actually really good

I was really hoping that Amazon would bid for the rights. Would save me £25 a month for BT!RagingBull wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 4:14 pmAlso in terms of what you get it's the most cost effectiveJimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 4:00 pmAmazon's coverage of the Premier League is actually really good

Re: Another change in broadcasting on the horizon
yeah I have prime because I work nights so its the most convenient way for me to shop so the TV is an added bonus for me when the next set of deals are up I expect they will make a bid

Whilst searching for info on Bordeaux I came across a heading for Sky TV and it was saying our game is scheduled for Saturday 3pm. Do Sky now cover the European matches?
Re: Another change in broadcasting on the horizon
Started with BT wi-fi so I could get the sport. Changed to Sky + BT sport. Then when I threatened to go back to BT I got sky cinema (all of it) + sky sports (all of it) and BT sports and HD and more all for the same price. It's worth negotiating.

DAZN, BT, Sky, Amazon et al - makes no odds what so ever - just where the direct debit/Standing Order heads off to.
