Watching The Ashes

[Boo]

I've just remembered that BT has the rights to The Ashes. Am I right in thinking that I can only watch on TV if I sign up to BT (which I won't do)?

Well you can pay for BT Sport on a different box.

But essentially yes, you need to pay for it to watch on tv

I could well be wrong. I usually am

I'm sure you're right. Thank you. The arrangement between BT and Sky doesn't extend to NOW and BT is going to want to keep this to itself. The additional bugger is that no pubs are going to show it.

Got Kodi tweaked to watch BT Sport. I might try to find the Channel 9 commentary after 30 minutes play on the first day.

Making sure as few people as possible can see the national side play test cricket is an excellent way of safeguarding the future of the sport.

Yes and as far as I can see it is only they who have the highlights, too.

Short termism at its best.

It's a bugger that it's not on SKY. Terrestrial TV just not interested in proper live sport anymore.

And doesn't have the money to compete. I think BT is taking a big gamble, broadly speaking, but in the meantime non-BT types have to feed off scraps.

FTECB don't give a fuck about the future of the sport - they want paying NOW.

Cünts.

That's the whole. The reports on the Ashes bidding process are specious in the extreme. It's all about the money.

I've got BT sport via my Virgin subscription - I'm assuming It'll be on one of those channels?

Or are BT introducing a bespoke channel for the Ashes, like SKY do?

I think you'll be okay, there.

Well that's Sky sports dropped and BT in for the winter. As a Talk Talk subscriber I can pay for sports on a month by month basis with out a twelve month contract.

If anyone knows of a friend or relative who has BT then they can download the app and use their login. Then from your phone cast it to your tv via a chromecast
