Champions League was never listedLawrieAbrahams said:
Whatever happened to listed sporting events? The list is getting shorter and shorter.MrOneLung said:In other breaking news for @PragueAddick the premier league, the play offs, test match cricket, and The Open are also not on free to air terrestrial tv.

Think the CL final should be added to the list now. How many millions of viewers would it get on BBC/ITV? More than the FA Cup final I would imagine.2

Cable tv is going to die out pretty soon, everything will be done via the internet on the not too distant future. All of my regular tv is aleady provided via the internet, the only use for a dish here is to recieve foreign channels, although more and more people are switching to (legal) versions of kodi for that.0 -
All they need is a hdmi cable. They can't have a TV so old it doesn't have a hdmi socket can they? And you can pick one of those up from Asda or Tescos!PragueAddick said:

The whole country, eh? Would this be the same country where I keep hearing/ reading of people with Internet speeds slower than a South Eastern Train?Rothko said:PragueAddick said:Well gotta say thanks to all the quick responses, looks like we have two options, once we get the right HDMI connector for the Macbook. Its not my idea of free to air, but well, i guess it really isn't my country any more.
The pub was never an option. Not in Eltham...
Not if your view of free to air telly is one from the mid 90s.

I can generally manage internet delivered TV reasonably well, but as far as I am aware there are still millions of people with crap net speeds, and possibly as a result,they have no idea how to do this. @SoundAsa£ is obviously one example.
In Prague we just, you know, switch on the Telly...

But it is not on Freeview. BT have taken away that Showcase channel that ValleyGary thought it would be on.Rothko said:

As for everything being done on the internet, yes of course this is the direction of travel, but those who propose it often ignore that the infrastructure isnt in place. Right now I am on a train from Surbiton to London, one of the more affluent areas. Soon after Surbiton the signal dropped completely. Since then the max I have is 3G. We are nearly at Clapham Junction... useless.

The issue is the Macbook, a 2012 model which has a non standard socket. But it looks like we should be ok thanks to the various tips on hereMuttleyCAFC said:

I understand you've left the area for a 'northern shithole' to quote @Addickted so maybe you don't have the reception?
I know reception varies in different parts of the country
EDIT: Looks like you need to register with BT Sport to access it having just turned the TV on and gone to the channel.
So it looks like ordinary, decent people who either don't want to tell BT their inside leg measurement or cannot access the internet to go to the BT website to tell them their inside leg measurement are excluded.
Oh well.0 -

If you have Virgin Media it's on 528 and in 4K via the red button if you have a V6 box.1

According to the Grau:
Subscribers can see it on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport 4K UHD but anyone can stream the match on btsport.com or You Tube or through the BT Sport app which can be downloaded for free.0 -

I see it as no different to having live music, something both these places have had.0 -
Looks like you can get it on sky q you tube feature0

I subscribe to BT sport, but if they have to show it free to air, they should unsubscribe a BT channel for the duration surely. It is a bit naughty otherwise.0

Can anyone help? So, I have Sky Sport but not BT Sport. I have seriously crap internet in my village (downloading a 45 min TV program takes an hour). Am I stuffed?0

Yeah, that or bt website, or but sport app. But all would be live streaming so all as reliable as the other0

Just checking the 4k out now. Cracking picture. Wish they'd hurry up and start broadcasting more content in 4k though.Hex said:If you have Virgin Media it's on 528 and in 4K via the red button if you have a V6 box.
