Starhub Cable - BPL 07/08

The almost 100% increase in price for the sport group subscription was a unwelcome move by starhub after it splashed $200+ millions to get the exclusive rights for BPL games. But more important is, it no more is collaborating with ESPN SS to make programmes for the BPL games.

Before the seasons starts, starhub annouced that it is partnering some hk company to produce shows for BPL games. And newspaper reported this so called company is practically unknown in hk. A logical explanation will be they come cheap.

Seasons started ...

It was bad. Still bad as I blog ....

1) The sound from the studio set is bad. Felt hollow
2) The physical set looked dull, cheap and uninteresting
3) Maybe because of the above 2 factors, it also made morrision and his 2 guests sound bad
4) Players name misspelt when info splashed across the screen
5) Formation wrong. Man City first game
6) Marquee scrolling across inconsistent and incorrect info
7) No programme to review saturday's game on sunday. Previously, Jaime Yeo does it on SS on sundays.

01 Sep 07. ST programme listing showed ch 21 will show Fulham v Spurs. But starhub website and starhub digital TV listing showed ch 21 will show Reading v West Ham.

While I am watching Liverpool v Derby outside, into the first 15 mins.

The marquee scrolled below ....

It says Fulham 0 Spurs 0 .... And "Live" on Super Sports Plus, Ch 21

"Wtf ! So it is really showing live ...."

Sian ... should have watched at home. Anyway, decided to make my way home. Reached home at 11 pm, still can catched second half BUT KNN NBCB WTF, Ch 21 showing Reading v West Ham !!!

CRAP !!! F**KING MARQUEE !!! ANYWAY SPURS ALREADY 1-0 up in the 11th min !!!!

In such a monopoly situation .... Sigh is the only way out :(
