[Albion] BT Sport boss: Premier League suggested £14.95 pay-per-view fee

[Official Old Man]

Ifollow charge 10 quid for what is basically a single camera. It works fine. All the paraphernalia of sky featured razzmatazz is simply not necessary for the non TV picked games, just pare it back

And what ifollow charge £10 for is the basic camera that attends every EFL game. Watch the EFL on a Saturday night on whatever channel it's on now and most games are single camera. Every PL game has full TV coverage for overseas showing.

Have you seen how many trucks and people arrive when we’re live on tv

Not many more than when we're not live on UK TV. As mentioned so many times, every game is live somewhere, hence all the 'free' streams. Do you really think they will roll in 10 extra cameras, 3 pitchside crew, 2 commentators and a whole load more for Brighton v WBA that will be viewed by under 20K fans. In a word NO.
All the commentators will be at home or in a studio, the transmission will be taken from the cameras in place for others. Only extra may be a truck that decides which camera to show and replays. In the end we could even get Gray & Keys live from BeIn Sports.

Evert single Prem game is on live TV here in Oz. The EPL either have their own broadcasting company, or already pay someone else to do it for them. There is absolutely no extra costs involved in selling these to the UK clubs/broadcasters, it is pure profiteering by the EPL. But.......it is their product and it is not illegal, up to you guys if you choose to pay for it or not.

But perhaps worth bearing in mind what Arsenal paid for a player whilst making a load of staff redundant.

Hang on. Sky Sports Day Passes are advertised at £9.99 - doesn't that cover ALL Sky Sports channels for 24 hours? Including live PL games?

Can't see any option to pay £14.95 per PL game on the Sky or NOW TV websites. Anyone?

Go on you’ve sold it to me.

The Sky PPV games are on Sky Box Office, so that won't be covered by a Sky Sports Day Pass (or NowTV sports weekly pass which is also only a tenner).

I don't know how a non-Sky subscriber accesses Sky Box Office, but I assume it's possible. It would be a significant flaw in the cunning plan if that wasn't possible.

They have the usual tablet apps and it's also available on NowTV.

Various ways of accessing NowTV, app or stick but I'm lucky enough to have Samsung TVs where it's all built in - including the monthly pass for BTt Sport.

I've just hopped onto NowTV and can't see tomorrow's game Newcastle v Man Utd anywhere at all. I didn't spend long looking though.

I'm a BT subscriber so I'm assuming that will be easy to find, so I didn't even look.

Usual Sky mess

You order here:

But you have to view it through the Sky Box Office app, which you can dowload to a NowTV stick or box. Have to check whether my tv supports it, luckily I have a couple of NowTV boxes knocking around.

Yes is the answer. Everything has got back to the pre-covid situation. The only difference is that all the other games (not shown live) are now available on a pay per view basis on the Sky Box Office channel/app/nowtv.

A day pass on Sunday should work fine on NowTV, since the Palace game is being shown live by Sky Sports and is NOT PPV.

Interesting twist that the PPV on skty & bt box office can only be streamed on one device, so no sharing is possible. Its a bargain
