Doom-monger obsessed with Herrera & the M.E.N.
Would they be using their own people or just broadcasting Eleven Sports pictures and commentary etc via ITV4?
I only have Sky Sports on HD and then the ones they give you free. Of course ITV4 is not one of them.Gutted. I just have basic virgin. Oh well, it’s still free I guess
Because the broadcast companies are cnuts looking to milk the customer for all they can. A better question is how can sky up it’s price for sports while it’s been losing packages left right and centre for years? And yes, they still add an extra charge for HD, and people pay it .I don't understand how paying for HD is still a thing in 2019. How can anything be broadcast in SD, and how does anyone possibly watch it without going loopy?
You can get ITV4 in HD if you have a Freeview HD TV.If you pay for HD with Sky then yes. If not, then no.
This was an amusing exchangeHe’s looked up, he’s seen Tactics Bus in or around the forum and he’s pressed send.

A truly embarrassing momentHe'll be disappointed with himself there, Brophs.
Graham Hunter is the sidekick, don 't know the commentator.Bit weird watching it now from when I used to watch it on Sky but at least it's in HD unlike Virgin forcing you to pay extra subscription. Not familiar with the commentators, sounds like I'm watching it off a betting site, but at least no cringey Clive Tyldesley!
ITV4 HD is on VirginGutted. I just have basic virgin. Oh well, it’s still free I guess
Why only the rest of the season? Did some channel go bust somewhere?
So ITV could get it next season?Eleven sports are struggling so La Liga is being shared out by Premier Sports and ITV.
Eleven’s strategy was to subcontract out to either Sky or BT I’d have thought.
They don’t have serie A though as premier snapped those rights up.Think Premier have it but not 100% sure. ITV should have a dedicated sports channel as they show lots of darts and snooker. Throw La Liga and Serie A in and could surely make it work.
They haven't got a game next weekend as Premier have El Classico and ITV are showing darts.They don’t have serie A though as premier snapped those rights up.
They can’t afford La Liga full time unless others are going to sub let to them.

Maybe second choice game could be early kick off on the Saturday or Sunday morning (can't remember which time ITV 4 actually starts). Or Monday night game if there is one.They haven't got a game next weekend as Premier have El Classico and ITV are showing darts.
Again. Premier sports have serie a until 2021.ITV have them til the end of the season as they were being given away basically as 11 Sports had it written in to both La Liga and Serie A (as well as the UFC contract that got terminated) that it must be shown on UK Tv. Sky sport and BT both obviously got shafted by 11 sports respectively, so both played hard ball and refused to give them a channel to show in the UK and 11 have made no effort to make it easily accessible by making tv apps or anything AFAIK.
Pretty sure they'll both be back on Sky/BT next season as the contracts will be cancelled.
The Monday game is Leganes v. Levante, the early Saturday game is Espanyol v. Real Valladolid. Of course Valencia v. Bilbao is the Sunday night game and darts take priority. The darts is on from 12.30 dinnertime, so maybe there is either no game next weekend or as you say it is the Monday night game.Maybe second choice game could be early kick off on the Saturday or Sunday morning (can't remember which time ITV 4 actually starts). Or Monday night game if there is one.
Ah my bad, didn't realise that had been agreed, apologies.Again. Premier sports have serie a until 2021.
Some of the Serie A games are on Freesport channel 422. You just have to keep your eyes open for them.Ah my bad, didn't realise that had been agreed, apologies.
Nice match.Tweet

Looking forward to that. Should be a good game.Nice match.
I'd prefer to watch every match in SD if it meant paying less money for the privilege.Is their online still limited to SD, or have they finally embraced widely adapted 2005 technology yet?
Im confused, no uk bidder or no uk bidder met the price la liga wanted? Kinda dumb if there is money there. Its not what they want, but beggars cant be choosers. They should give all the matches to ITV, grow the audience in the free to air market. Stupid bastards.No UK tv for La Liga next season. Fecking joke.
