BT Vision pay-per-view sport
It says on the BT Vision sport section:
"Watch Liverpool v Stoke City from 3am, 20 August. Included as part of the Vision Sport Pack or pay per view for 96p" Does that mean you can watch other Premership matches if they aren't part of the 242 Premier League games included in the Sports package? or does it mean you can watch any of the 242 matches individually if you haven't got the sports package? I presume its the later? |

correct, however MOTD will probably show most of what you want to see anyway, unless throw-ins, offsides etc float ya boat.
I s'pose for 96p it doesn't really matter. What you get is the option of either edited 55 minute highlights or the full match on demand abeit after the event. Where do MOTD show that much of a match, if your lucky then they will show about 10-15 minutes of the main match and that is usually only for one of the usual top 4 team i.e Man U, Chelsea etc A lot of people like to see more than the edited highlights or are you saying that Sky shouldn't bother and just show 10-15minutes of the matchs they show as the rest isn't worth it. If you must have a go at least get your facts right first |

You really must be better informed.

If you must have a go at least get your facts right first your comprehension really is terrible. I am fully aware of what BT offer and for the life of me I can't think why anyone but the most die hard fan would want to see it..., but each to their own. Like I said at 96p it really doesn't matter. MOTD shows the 'good' bits, like the goals, sendings off, bad decisions, good saves etc. with top class punditry. hence me saying that MOTD will show all of what you really want to see. The BTV VOD stuff will show all the good bits AND all the bad parts (dull). Again thats why I said throw ins and offsides etc. And to answer your question, yes I think Sky's 'Football First' thing is equally a waste of time. Programming for the sad and lonely at that time on a Saturday Night I'd venture. If you are a real fan then it is possible to watch nearly every top flight game direct from the web.

Thanks for the clarification, I had submitted the thread before I realised what the offer was. Got confused as I'm not used to this stuff.
As a side note, is there any other packages which offer that many live English premership games? As far as I can read sky offer 88, ESPN offer 46. 242 games from BT Vision is virtually 75% of the total premership games

yes ironically bt vision do show the most amount of football games, all be it all the 3pm saturday kickoffs in full from 9pm, so you can watch a match befor football first starts, although if you are a top four club supporter, this really wont suit you as predominantly the top 4 clubs rarely kick off at 3pm on a saturday
No other service offers this. |

So, not all the 242 games are live?
![]() How many games do you think are broadcast live? The Liverpool v Stoke game is kicks off at 8pm the previous evening, and so is available 7 hours later at 3am. The only live football available on Freeview is via BBC, ITV, Five and ESPNUK. |

I'm already with BT broadband and calls. Vision would be an extra £15+ every month.

I dont see why - you can just subscribe to Vision sport like I do for just under a fiver a month.
I was going with the 'Starter' pack offer they have for broadband, calls and vision for £30.33/month after month 3.aside from the £5.00/month, what would I have to pay? - £15 for vision+ box - connection fee - BT hub £44 .....and would I be able to get ESPN for the one off payment of £9.78? |

TV and TV replay and another pack of choice presumably picturebox (although you could choose music or kids). I'm on gold. and get the lot. i just wish they made a film pack tho. I mean if they can stuff most packs for £5 then I wouldn't mind paying say £5 for vision film and say £3 for Film 4 OD Films. |

And, for the £15 its a reconditioned Vision box - just something else to note. That is on an 18 month contract as well. |

If you just want the Vision box then you pay £90 for a new one and then you can subscribe to any individual pack you like. For standalone vbox see here :- http://www.productsandservices.bt.co...?topicId=24694 For individual packs see here :- http://www.btvision.bt.com/viewing-p...standardsports Lastly, you get a homehub with all broadband options so if you havent got one then they should provide one free. |

says quite clearly online it's £15 for the box if you take a value pack. connection fee is usually waived if you haggle. the only other outlay is £10 for the viewing card. |

Thanks for clarifying things. Its not easy getting your head around all these options.
Why they can't just simply sell a box and offer each station/package seperately baffles me. It would be much more efficient for both the company and the customer. A simple arrangment would encourage people to sign up. |
