I think the complaints about the placings are just disguising the fact really it's actually a fairly badly designed scorebar - sticks out rather than blends in to the coverage.

No, BT doesn't have any Sunday games as such.
The only exception is if they pick a game featuring an EL team playing the previous Thursday in which case the BT game will move to Sunday 12pm. Consequently, the Sky Sports Hull v Liverpool and Chelsea v Southampton Sunday 1 Dec games then will be moved by 35 mins and 10 mins delays to accomodate this. Had a quick look and it seems like that is the only time that can happen (as it stands) as Swansea have no BT game (and ditto for Wigan!). |

Thanks. That DOG is shocking . Clearly the scorebar and DOG are better at the top, where they usually obscure the crowd, rather than the pitch. The DOG should be more transparent as well. I can see the complaints pouring in if they leave it like that for the opening PL game.

Live Tennis has been shown for the last few minutes on British Eurosport, while BT Sport continues with the chating. I'm now watching on British Eurosport.

Hope they sign up Simon Reid when Eurosport lose the rights next year as he is very good.
The Sound for BT was quieter than Eurosport and each had the horrible 4/3 safe graphics from the host broadcaster. Not sure why BT felt the need to rush off before the on court interview. As for the bottom corner dog I hate it. It's currently covering the host graphics on the CPL coverage. As for the person from the previous thread who asked if there is an overrun, does the EPG update?, the answer was no. As we know recording the programme after or setting a manual record is the best suggested solution. ESPN (UK) used to get complaints about this from subscribers for overnight events including UFC. So perhaps an early opportunity to see a repeat of this will be Sunday when the UFC programme slot finishes at 6am - and so will people's Sky+ recordings leaving them without the end if no heed is taken to record the programme after or manual record? At least TopUp TV coverage will no longer have the problem of just having the channel go blank at 6am (as it is in effect blank all the time now). |

On the position of scorebars, between watching rugby league on Sky and the BBC, I really dislike the way the latter has it in the top corner. Bottom corner feels a far more natural place to look and much less obtrusive. Quote:
The amount of ads shouldn't really change - BT can't show any more than ESPN could.

They are just using News channel logic I guess. They sometimes join the two logos with an information bar and when they do that, it covers less of the screen area than the Sky/BBC method i.e. it's potentially more efficient.
Also don't get the logic in the red/white colouring on the scorebar which has no relation at all to what the teams are wearing, which is now pretty much the universal standard for scorebars. I do think overall though from what I've seen their on screen graphics are pretty poor - basic bordering on bland, and certainly nowhere near as impressive as their studio. Quote:
That is assuming that ESPN used the maximum allowed number of minutes. Which may have been true, but I doubt it was of ESPN America with whom the comparison was being drawn.

Well presumably with a lot of simulcast US content they'd have had more ad breaks than they are allowed, so would have had to fill some with their own promos etc.

How so? It's pretty much the same as Sky's score bar except smaller and rounded instead of rectangular. If anything it'd be less noticeable if it wasn't in a strange position.

It all gels quite well. I love the globe graphic that comes on the football and has the team emblems on different bits of the globe. |

What next? Premier League interviews with idle goalkeepers or centre halves during matches? Now that really would be game-changing! |

The Caribbean Twenty20, which usually ran around January, has been replaced by the Caribbean Premier League. Over here that tournament was on ESPN one or two years, was covered by British Eurosport another year. The host broadcaster in the Caribbean was ESPN. The new tournament is modelled more on the IPL than on its predecessor. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...855&highlight= |

Sky did it on T20 cricket years ago - it's nothing new.
