Hi, thanks for the comment but I don't quite understand what you mean.
Regards
You're dealing with BT, not Sky. They would need to ask for the Multiroom box viewing card number to activate it, which they don't.

Bored already of the Halsey involvement. People don't go to a match to watch the ref. Or switch to BT Broadband to watch RefTV.

Once I managed to sign in, BT sport online was very good quality.

Ok after watching a whole match I might take back about the DOG/graphics on the bottom, with their in picture and other graphics I see why they have done it.
As the match went on I did not notice it, just did at the beginning as it was new.
But still think the dog should be lighter or transparent.

You heard it here first: "Charlie Adam best passer in the Premier League" Michael Owen.

Every game I've heard him commentate he's been awful.
Didn't he list Gerard and Adams as being two of the PL's best passers ??? Fair comment tbh

Yeah, I agree - I don't see what the fuss is over the positioning of the DOG. I didn't even notice it.

Very polished first game from BT - very impressive!

I've been reading the BT Forums, and there are alot of BT Sport customers not been able to log into the BT Sport App on an IPad or online generally on a computer.
Ian.
A neighbour who has BT broadband and could not login, asked me to pop over half time to help him out and we could not get him online on PC or his iPad.
He came round to my house with his iPad and got in fine on my Sky BB, haha.
Hes never used his BT id before and did tell me he created a second one, odd you can do that.
On sky, we are all used to using sky ids, BT usres are not so much, it confused him and may have others.
Im using the other halfs 2nd home BT broadband id, bliss and the iPad app worked faultlessly with it on my Sky BB.

Aghhh @ the music.

Apart from that, not bad from BT. The only DOG I noticed was the one barking outside.

Hi, that is rather being wise after the event. My initial point being that irrespective of who you deal with, Sky or BT, I think it is a bit much to expect customers to second guess the outcome of a paid subscription upgrade, especially when the BT rep was well aware that I had a Sky multi-room package.

I've upgraded several packages with SKY over the years and they do NOT need the viewing card numbers from both multi-room boxes. To say its BT not Sky is a fair point but BT obviously have access to a fair amount of Sky customer information; that much was obvious from my abortive attempt to upgrade to BT Sports yesterday.

Even though I watched the match on TV, I've tried logging in with my password into the BT Sport Apps and hav'nt been able to since the Premier League match kicked off. It simply said there was technical problems, please try later and apparantly on the BT Forums others have had that problem as well.

I haven't watched much of the channel, but does that virtual pitch actually get used ?

I would certainly hope they haven't.

BT only have the info that they've asked for and you've given.

This BT Sport Live programme is a bit odd. Doesn't really know what it wants to be. Certainly no Soccer Saturday.

Yes its just a chat show type thingy lol. Glad they have kept the scores rolling during the add breaks. Would rather they.had a vidiprinter instead of scrolling scores and prem score banner. That seems odd to me but overall liking BT sport it makes a refreshing change.

Because there would be serious Data Protection issues if they did.

I wonder if BT and Talksport might consider hooking up, your are right this show doesn't know what it wants to be they just ambling which is ok on a radio show but not for two hours on tv but technically they are just filling in between the ridculous amount of adverts they have to show.

It's terrible, now BT Sport 1 & 2 are showing the same thing.

There was someone on here a week or two ago who claimed to have got multiroom via BT but I am not sure if that was ever proven beyond their say so as nobody else seems to have been given the option.

I asked several times and was told conclusively by BT - 'we do not offer multiroom'.

You have to either use a video sender to your other Sky box or use the ap/online channel and connect that into your other TV.

This works to give you a sort of multiroom. You can watch a different BT channel on one TV that way from what is on your Sky box with the card activated.

They don't have the resources for this kind of show, nobody at the grounds, nothing to show, zero atmosphere, just talking heads & social media updates, occasionally switching to Rugby 7's which is live on BT Sport 2 anyway.

The guests look bored, Jake struggling to string it all together.

£738m on Premiership rights; a total of £1bn on sport in total is what I read.
