ESPN have confirmed they have the rights for Serie A next season. 3 live games a week. No news on whether JR will be presenting. Anyone know if you can get it on freeview?

Brilliant. I'm in (as long as they get JR).

Great news. I'm hoping Mr. Richardson is hosting.

Now I can watch the match on a big tv with friends instead of a small computer screen on my own.

Had to re register...whats that all about?

Great news about ESPN but can someone please clarify that its a free to air channel , thanks

Not on Sky Nigel, you have to pay for it, £9 extra per month

ESPN is available through a freeview box like Setanta was , however it's not free, you have to pay for it to be unlocked.

Good news though.

I know its a little off topic and I'm being a bit lazy but are the games SKY nobbled off of the Setanta collapse free costing extra on top of my existing Sky deal...And if I have to pay £9 per month will I get the extra prem AND Seire A games..thanks

ESPN will show 46 Premier league games plus Serie A, Bundesliga, Eriedivsie, Potuguese and Russian league games.

If you changed your password, you may have to clear your cookies/cache on your browser depending on how you have your browser set up. It's nothing to do with the forum configuration Nigel.

Nice, got this as part of sky package which is cool.  My two fave sports being shown Serie A, and NFL.

How much would ESPN cost to get through Freeview?

Brilliant news! Even better you can definitely get it through Freeview so no need to subscribe to the evil empire that is SKY!  

This was posted on Digital Spy -

Quote:

As an ex Setanta subscriber,I have just subscribed to ESPN. Same terms as Setanta and free connection and 1st month free,then £9.99 a month. If you Pre-registered an interest,you need to phone them on 08444 - 156 - 256 They told me they can't process your application online,and they don't have time to call everyone back.

There were also two other tel nos mentioned - 0131 348 8623 & 08444 158 158.

Think that means to subsribe you'll need a Freeview box with a CAM slot and one of these - CAMS

ESPN have only recently confirmed they will be available via Top Up TV and hence Freeview so I wouild imagine they will be able to make their own CAMS available soon? So even though (based on accounts on Digital Spy) the old Setanta CAMS still work it may be worth waiting until they start to make their own?

I know it's early days, but I've got a proper lob on for ESPN already...

I'm a fan of Die Bundesliga, so Wolfsburg v Stuttgart last night and Hoffenheim v Bayern Munchen this evening have been warmly received in Casa de Mezz, but to find the Super Coppa Italia sandwiched in between these two games this afternoon was just epic.

£9.00 per month, no subscription, three Serie A games a week plus 'no plans whatsoever to raise the subscription fee after the increased VAT hits us in 2010' equals one happy f**king subscriber right here.

Will they have a Serie A highlights show?

Who gives a f**king shit?

You get 3 live games, end to end, each week.

Don't start getting fussy now.
