Started by The Gaffer · 10 months ago

When is live Premiership coverage not live? Answer: When it’s played on Fox Soccer Channel.
One of the interesting things you’ll notice when you’re online each weekend chatting with football fans from around the world about the live Premiership matches via t ... Continue reading »

  • Yes, the solution really IS that simple - here in Japan the imbeciles at SkyPerfectv who run the football coverage still manage to put the EPL Preview Show on at 25 mins past the hour so there is no interruption to the live broadcast from the ground(s)...


    Do FSC always ensure that the 2nd half of the games kick-off exactly live? Or do they try to fit in a few more of those demeaning ads before the action re-commences?



    TT
  • I agree. FSC's coverage of EPL is not nearly close to Setanta's.
    FSC: number one for women's college soccer!
  • This has been complained about for years. Maybe now that FSC has some competition in the market they will work to improve their production quality, which has been poor at best.
  • FSC: quickly becoming the number one channel for women's college soccer. Amateurs! Setanta and GOL are the leading soccer channels in America.
  • Hey TT,


    Most of the games that kickoff here at 10 am are even still roughly 45 seconds to a minute behind during the second half.



    All I know is the Christmas season can't get here fast enough. Setanta via ITVN is going to be a great gift.
  • It's absurd! I distinctly remember the camera giving us a shot of the digital clock at Anfield which reflected the time of 15:45. (3:45) to unknowing Americans. I then looked at my cable box clock which reflected the time of 10:50 E.S.T.
    The coverage was a full 5 minutes behind real time. Shocking!!!
  • Yeah, that is rather ridiculous. I can see having a slight delay, such as with HDTV where it is a couple seconds. But, five minutes is ridiculous.


    I would highly recommend Setanta, particularly with the new on demand feature.
