I don't think the play-offs are part of the contract - I think they're still sold individually (with the risk that some games might not be shown) like the old UEFA Cup used to be, certainly this was the case last year.
I suspect most of the games will be shown, though - certainly Villa's rematch against Rapid Vienna (who knocked them out at this stage last year) will be particularly attractive to broadcasters.

Europa League Play-offs are still sold on a game by game basis.

oh yea, thanks, i remember seeing sky has a number to matchday in their calendar. I forget its when the main group stage starts then the contracts begins..
On Celtic website no Television coverage in UK or Ireland of Celtic Utrecht 19 August. A bit suprised by this as surely the club would have made decent TV money.

I have no beef with ITV4 but then I'm only a SD pauper
