Bt Sport Europe


Recommended Posts

had a wee look to see what Virginmedia's plans were with this and going by what ive read they will be charging for it which is fair enough i suppose, BT 1 and 2 is free on the XL package but apparently only until 2016

also read that BT were still thinking about charging their own Broadband customers for the new channel aswell, i believe they get BT1 and 2 free?

i wonder how much they will be looking for

It's £5 a month if you are with BT like me.

I understand SKY and Virgin customers will be paying more than that.

I'm moving to virgin, not bothered as got apps to watch the football in android box.

im thinking of stripping my virginmedia package down to the minimum and getting one of these boxes.

do you know if the new channel will also show the german, italian and french football aswell or if that will stay on BT1 and 2?

I think they stay on BT 1 and 2.

Europe I imagine is just for CL, EL. Maybe not though

BT has revealed that all 351 matches from the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League next season will be free for customers who take BT TV.


BT TV customers will be able to receive the full BT Sport Pack for free – comprising BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, ESPN on BT Sport and the new BT Sport Europe channel, which launches on August 1 as the new home of top European football.


BT Broadband customers who choose to watch on their Sky service, via the BT Sport App or on BT Mobile, will be able to add the BT Sport Pack for a small charge of £5 a month.


BT also announced it will be launching a new Ultra HD channel in August, giving fans an outstanding viewing experience on BT Sport.



New signings and ‘Goals’ show

Gary Lineker, Jake Humphrey and Rio Ferdinand will front the live UEFA Champions League coverage.


















They will join the BT Sport team which includes Paul Scholes, Michael Owen, Steve McManaman and Owen Hargreaves, as well as new signings Steven Gerrard, Harry Redknapp, Glenn Hoddle and Howard Webb.


The channel will also broadcast a new ‘Goals’ show, presented by James Richardson, where viewers can tune in on Champions League nights to enjoy news and action across all eight games as it happens.

'Undisputed home of European football'

Keeping its promise to make televised sport more accessible to more people, BT will give its broadband customers the option of receiving BT Sport 1 for free for a third season.


This channel will show all 38 live Barclays Premier League matches as well as the Aviva Premiership and SPFL.


John Petter, chief executive of BT Consumer, said: "When we launched BT Sport we promised to make televised football far more accessible and affordable than it has been to date. We have opened the market to millions of new customers and we want to build on that as BT Sport becomes the undisputed home of European football.


"We are of course giving our best offer to existing customers – broadband customers will get the new BT Sport Pack for the heavily discounted price of £5, whilst customers who take broadband and TV from us will get it absolutely free.


"This is a new chapter for European football on TV. BT Sport will show hundreds of live matches throughout the tournament using the very latest technology. Our presenters and experts will also provide the smartest insight and analysis."



Breaking new ground

BT’s screening of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League matches will also see new innovation with regard to how viewers can watch games on BT TV.


BT TV will be the only place where customers can watch all of the UEFA Champions League games in HD.


A Red Button service will allow BT TV viewers to switch between matches and track the action with a new ‘Goal Alert’ function which will let the viewer know when a goal is scored in any of the games and check the latest stats.


Customers will also be able to watch every game live on BTSport.com and on the BT Sport App. The app will include a new game timeline feature, allowing fans to view goals and events from any game, at any time.


Fans will also be able to watch key events from multiple camera angles and enjoy a wealth of in-game analysis through new tournament and match pages.




Free-to-air matches

BT will make some matches available for everyone to watch, whether a subscriber or not, via a new, free-to-air channel on digital TV.


Called BT Sport Showcase, this channel will show a minimum of 12 UEFA Champions League matches and 14 UEFA Europa League matches and these will be available to anyone to watch for free. Each participating British team will be shown at least once.



Ultra HD launch

Finally, the company has announced that in August it will also launch the first Ultra HD (4K) channel in Europe, BT Sport Ultra HD, and will also introduce a new BT TV Ultra HD set top box.


The Community Shield will be the first broadcast, with other live events shown throughout the season, including selected games from the UEFA Champions League, Barclays Premier League, FA Cup and Aviva Premiership Rugby.

Looks like the pub for me as I won't be adding BT Sport to my already extorionate Sky package. Worst thing I done was move house to an area that Virgin don't cover. Might just move back in with the folks, if they want me.

I've entered in to a contract with Sky now though and the broadband is by far the worst broadband I've ever experienced in my life, cuts out during peak times, completely intermittent.

I don't want to just cancel it then end up in debt to the b*stards

You might be able to give me some advice then, maybe...

My brother has just moved out his house and isn't getting BT in the new place but they want him to pay the contract all the way through to March 2016 and if the new tenants use the BT phone line then it gets added on top of my brother's bill? Is that correct, or is there anyway round it?

You're probs an engineer or smfin but worth a try :lol:
