Sadly, probably no PLP next season. This is from a NZ forum in February:
"New Zealand EPL rights have gone to an Al Jazeera sports subsidiary called beIN sports, which insiders say paid $10 million for the next three seasons as Campbell Gibson reports in today’s print edition of NBR.
Then ten million dollars, or $3.33 million a year, was just too rich for Spark. Lightbox Sport sells PremierLeaguePass.com season passes for $99, meaning it would need 33,333 subscribers just to cover programming costs. The joint venture has never commented on subscription numbers but there are indications it has fewer than 10,000 (PremierLeaguePass has 4301 followers on Twitter and 6783 on Facebook).
Sky TV could potentially get away with a third of that number of subscribers, given its Fanpass.co.nz already charges $299 a year (each) for Super Rugby, NRL and Formula One – but there was obviously a question over price elasticity.
But wait, it's not over yet.
Overnight, a person close to the deal revealed beIN’s real interest was in Australian rights but that, in the convoluted process of pursuing them, it paid an inflated price for the New Zealand rights. The Al Jazeera unit is said to now realise its blunder, and the insider predicts it might on-sell New Zealand rights to Lightbox Sport or Sky for a price below $10 million to recoup some of what its spent. And Lightbox Sport has confirmed that beIN is shopping around local rights. If there are no takers, beIN could launch its own streaming service in New Zealand.
Either way, things will have to be wrapped up by the time the 2016/2017 EPL kicks off in August."
Ive got a couple of genuine smart dns accounts for sale one from unotelly and one from getflix i wont be using them any more since my team is relegated and wont have any online coverage next season and,i dont really use any other services.
Thinking about getting a Kodi box for the 3pms next season, what with PLP going out and the other options so much more expensive by comparison - any info, suggestions, forums?

The only 2 legal and reliable options running on kodi are NBC Sports Live Extra and PLP as you know PLP will not be available from next season,I would wait until the start of next season to see what's available before committing to anything.
For those who watch beIN through the connect platform, what is your picture quality like? I'm using overplay DNS and the stream bit rate is pretty horrible, almost as if I'm watching a dodgy flash stream. The picture quality seems to improve during the studio segments. Back when I had a satellite subscription to AJS it was a similar thing - studio quality was good but actual live match picture was pretty bad. I'm wondering if this is the case here?

Thanks mate I'll give them a go. I tried unlocator today and that didn't help either. Im on plusnet fibre with an asus ac68u router so I dont think it is my internet?
Edit: Just changed my DNS settings to the Getflix ones, selected Saudi Arabia for the region etc but now beIN is throwing up error 3222?

The error 3222 is a getflix error ii think you will not get a decent picture with any dns provider the servers they use in the middle east and Africa are just not up to it,personally i would try a fast vpn from the region if you can find one other than that forget about beinsports.
Spot on mate. The pic quality goes to pants especially during the heavy load times during live games, I can easily watch the recorded stuff at decent quality or even live NBA games which I dont think are that popular in the MENA.
Currently trying to watch the champions league game with getflix and it is horrible - contant buffering and picture quality is poor. Luckily I only purchased a one month pass and dont intend to renew.

What services are you guys looking into for the next season?
It's going to be slim pickings next season on the legal front to watch the 3pms I fear.
If you know of anyone in the states you really dont need to look any further than nbc sports extra ive been impressed with there overall coverage and given the choice i prefer to watch them rather than sky and bt.

This season Sky Sports will show more than 700 matches from eight different leagues across its channels and digital outlets. For the first time, viewers will be able to enjoy regular live coverage of Premier League matches on Friday nights in addition to those shown on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Monday Night Football.
In another first, viewers in the Republic of Ireland will also be able to enjoy live coverage of the Premier League in a regular slot on Saturday afternoons at 3pm. And an expanded mobile clips service delivered by Sky Sports' Football Score Centre app will enable users to enjoy more highlights of Premier League and Football League matches on their phones on match days.

1 Unotelly valid until 25th of May 2017 £20
2 Getflix Lifetime (30 Year Valid ) £35
If anyone wants to take them off me please pm me
I've taken a screenshot of the picture quality here http://postimg.org/image/78ma2vs9t/
Get rid of overplay they are awful imo, try someone like getflix or unotelly instead. Both do free trials.

If they launch an irish version of Now TV as Sky Sports Ireland has the 3pms live games on saturdays from next season
I thought that they were only showing one 3pm game as per the Setanta deal...?
sky sport ire takeover the setanta rights from next season
I know, but didn't Setanta only show one 3pm game a week?
I have one nbc sub left for next season , pm for price if interested.
Does bein connect show. Premier league matches as its only £10pm.
Also being told to look at playstation vue for footy next season
Afaik, Bein Connect is only running in Australia.
So that's New Zealand out of the running.
Looks like NBC is really the only way to watch the PL next season.

Playstation vue is tricky to sign up too even with a vpn.
