 :thumbsup: does anynody know why ITV are not screening any live games  :unknown: Looking at the list Sky sports and BT sport still have the pick of the bunch by screening all the top teams whilst BBC will be showing mainly the FA cup games alongside BT sport (which they did before ). Thats how I see it. I understand that the Bournemouth v Palace game kicks off on BBC1 then you have to turn over to BBC2 for the second half because it clashes with the evening news and the BBC don't want to change their schedules  :dash:

I’m guessing when they say ‘free on sky sports’ to access this one needs a sky subscription of some sort, even if it’s just the basic pack (£30?).

So is it really and truly free ?

BBC fair enough
Amazon is also fair enough

I may be wrong maybe a sky box owner but non subscriber can let us know.

I stand corrected it seems they are showing them on a channel on freeview.

I believe they're on the sky pick channel which may be outside of any subscription package

Think I posted it on the other thread about how to end the season but it's on Pick which is freeview channel 11  :thumbsup:
Started scrolling through my channel list and assumed it was one of the one's i'd never looked at past channel 80 then thought I couldn't get it until I realised it was all the way down at 11  :dash:

Really surprised they have the Merseyside Derby too  :unknown:

I assume that the extra games had to be bid for and ITV didn't offer enough cash  :unknown:

Careful you'll upset fans of teams who aren't "Pick of the bunch"  :diablo:

I think it's actually due to the fact that the BBC are currently in possession of the highlights package (Match of the Day).

I think this is more for the fans, as it's the game that could win Liverpool the title, if Man City don't win tonight that is

They are on Sky Pick, and on SkyOne. (not SkySportsOne, SkyOne the entertainment channel)

This is an important piece of information that always gets committed as SkyOne means if you have NowTV or other streaming packages that is generally included.

And secondly, SkyOne is available in HD. Whereas Sky Pick is not.

But Sky Pick is a free TV channel on Freeview, Freesat and Virgin. The only problem is, the Picture quality is not as good (for me at least) as what you get on the major channels. Hence why SkyOne on NowTV is a good workaround.

Ah yeah hadn't thought of that, now cue Arsenal beating City tonight to set it up for Liverpool only for Everton to win
