Champions League no longer on ITV?
Discussion
I found out last night that it looks like the Champions League is no longer going to be on ITV on a Tuesday evening. It seems everything is moving to BT Sport.
Is this correct or will it remain as it currently is, one game on ITV, one on BT. I'm a bit confused.

Highlights: ITV
Utter crap. Used to enjoy watching it during the week.

Does that mean one match per week/round of games of a british team? (Like itv now?) or just one game per british team every season?
"The broadcaster have confirmed they will show at least 12 live Champions League matches free to all on BT Showcase, with each British club involved in the tournament featured at least once."http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-06-09/gary-lin...
Coud be worse, you could have BT sport and be unable to watch it!
You'd think that BT's own box would have the channels, but it doesn't. If you don't have a Sky box you have to activate it on the website. The website just sends me round in a loop, never actually activating anything.
I can get their channel a different way, so I've not done anytihng about it, but I shouldn't have to, it should all just work.

I switched from Sky to BT Sport when we moved house a) because I wanted fibre and b) because I wanted to stop forking out 100 odd a month to Murdoch. What should have been an easy process (setting up BT TV) turned into a nightmare of a ballache because of the clusterfYou'd think that BT's own box would have the channels, but it doesn't.

k that is BT customer services. If you thought Sky was bad, BT are are another level for being piss poor.From the little I have read, the CL/EL will be on a different sport channel, named either BT Showcase or BT Sport Europe, I don't know which.

How do I watch the Champions League on BT Sport next season?
All UK television viewers will be able to watch 12 games - five fewer than were on ITV – free of charge on new channel BT Sport Showcase, which will be added to Freeview. At least four of those matches, and likely anywhere up to 10, will feature British teams and the final will definitely be free. You will need to be a BT customer to watch all other fixtures.
So, I will have to pay for the rest?
Technically, yes. Existing subscribers to both BT broadband and BT TV will get every match free of charge. BT broadband customers without BT TV will be charged £5 per month for BT Sport Europe. Prices for non-customers have yet to be announced but the cost to them of BT’s sports packages will rise from the current £13.50, potentially up to the £20 mark.
BT have just reshuffled the EPG around and channels have moved, presumably to make way for new channels. This was very poorly communicated and I only found out one morning when certain channels were not where I expected them to be.

t they are. I can't see this new channel yet so I predict another dozen phone calls to add it to my package. wkers.I think I read it was £5 a month for the dedicated champions league channel.
The roots of football have been well and truly ripped up. There is no magic to the game anymore, the romance is dead. The characters have disappeared, the decent people gone and any perceived loyalties have been shredded by money.
Part of me accepts i'm growing up and it's normal to become less interested in the game, but a huge part of me still loves football and i'm sure I would hold more affinity to it if the game held more traditional values.

Lol @ BT:
Parents phoned up to change broadband/phone deal a few years ago. Telesales attempted valiantly to upsell to a BT vision box for £80 (or something). Parents not interested. Fee came down and down to about £30 or something, but parents didn't want a box and specifically told them this.
In the end, 2 BT vision boxes arrived at their house a few days later

Oh, and the other thing that winds me up is I have a residence above my office and BT Business Broadband throughout the whole building including the flat. But, even though I pay a lot for BT Business it doesn't entitle me to BT Sport within the building (specifically residence).
I know a few other people who WFH and they have the same gripe. BT Business broadband but not allowed BT Sport.

Probably because it would enable businesses like pubs to show BT Sport at a much reduced cost than they can currently?I know a few other people who WFH and they have the same gripe. BT Business broadband but not allowed BT Sport.

Yeah I think me having a residence above an office greys the issue slightly. But, what about those that WFH and have the business line? If the address the box is registered to/the internet line is connected to is residential I don't see the problem. Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
