LFCTV to launch on sky in HD.
Received an email this morning Liverpool FC confirming that their club channel is to launch in HD on November 4th on sky. Sub £7 per month.

Frankly I would prefer them to show what they say they will. The last two times I have tried to use them to watch Liverpool matches they have let me down. They were supposed to be showing the Real Madrid game on Thurs at 12.00 am and they just showed adverts.
And previously they were supposed to be showing Liverpool-WBA and instead they had highlights of a league encounter at Stoke and they were an hour out on their schedule as per the EPG. I certainly won't be paying £7 p/month - makes a mockery of their pitch advertising last seaosn claiming to be the only free to air club channel (obviously a reference to MUTV and Chelsea TV) Actually what would be a good bundle would be from Sky to accumulate the best of all the club channels (including Arsenal TV, City TV and Spurs TV which are all broadcasrt abroad) and make that a channel. I might consider subscribing to that! |

Because they aren't, as it happens

I was expecting it for a while, I'm surprised it took this long really.
JH is well know for liking subscriptions. I need to reduce the amount of TV I'm watching so thanks for helping with that. Next is to dump SKY Sport after F1 season finishes, although I say that every year. |

Can they show the away games for the youth teams? It only seems to mention home games in the Liverpool Echo article

Massive Liverpool supporter but no way am i shelling out £7 a month. Its a steep price for one, if it were more around a 5iver a month then maybe, but 7, not a chance in hell, i pay enough in TV subs as it is. Not to mention, its somewhat insulting to the fans and the bragging of how its the only football club channel to be free! Quote:

Don't forget of course that it wasn't always free, as it was originally part of the Setanta pack and ended up going FTV when Setanta UK went bust. In common with others, I am surprised it's remained FTV for this long. On the downside of course if there was a Liverpool game I fancied watching that was being shown live on Sky, I didn't have to worry about recording it if I was doing something else as I could watch the LFC rerun later-which will now no longer be the case.

Doesn't Sky already have enough Liverpool action, in the bloody pundits? They can't get enough I guess.

The big thing for many supporters is watching the U18s and U21 (and U19 CL games) live or "as live" later in the day, of course we live in a very connected world now and the truth is there are streams out there of these games already. Its hard to imagine many paying extra on top of a Sky sub for this.
I would think that the Liverpool FC club would get more money that way as they would get a little off everyone who has Sky's Family pack, more money than a handful of subscribers that are willing to pay £7 per month extra! The other option of course is to team up with Sky and make it part of the Sky Sports package, but that might be a step too far! |

The radio comms have only been available on LFC TV GO while the channel services was being upgraded but before that, they were also on the actual TV channel. |

If VM put the app on TiVo, VM customers could subscribe and continue to watch it on their television.

And the fact you have to have a basic package with Sky before you can get is would suggest its a deal for exclusivity with Sky considering its Sky thats handling subscriptions to the re-launched channel. Farcical if you ask me |
