Texy Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 ESPN has acquired the rights for exclusive live coverage in the US of ICC events, including the 2015 World Cup, and the Champions League Twenty20, for the period 2012 to 2015. So Ya, it will be on ESPN3
Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I think that will be the only place we will be able to watch other thanwatching on FTA's tv.
Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Soon we will move this to Cricket talk and call it WCBroadcast Thread
AmreekanDesi Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 ESPN has acquired the rights for exclusive live coverage in the US of ICC events, including the 2015 World Cup, and the Champions League Twenty20, for the period 2012 to 2015. So Ya, it will be on ESPN3 some friend told me that espn has rights but this time they will ask to pay to subscribe
Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 As of now, it's confirmed that ESPN3 is showing it. I am surprised there is no official telecast in U.S.
Crookbond Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 What service would telecast this via Internet in Europe?
aceofbase Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 So far Espn3 has been free..now they will charge a fee for the entire event telecast..
Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I am surprised that they are wanting to pay $99 for online coverage of espn3. I really don't mind paying, but I rather pay to watch on tv, then online for such event. I have other jugaads, but this is foolish of them to actually not have any telecast subscription and just internet broadcast.
aceofbase Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 ^^^ you can play it on tv by casting thru chromecast

Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 ^^^ you can play it on tv by casting thru chromecast Yaar woh sab toh it's usual stuff. I have FTA tv se tup to watch through sky sports, but just I like bit#hing about this for general public.
Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 no channel on dishnet will show? what other jugaads?:--D I heard Dishnetwork might carry Pay Per View package. Might and Times Warner Cable too. Directv should have carried this. Directv is supposed to be the best Satellite TV in USA and if you are a sports fan, this is the best.
rajmarie Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Dish had put this as a PPV on their site. ESPN will not broadcast this on their channels or through authenticated subscribers using watchespn. ESPN wants to bill again to people to watch this. Very clever move by them. Now that nearly all the US cable/satellite/Telco users are forced to pay for ESPN & finally also for watchESPN...they tell that they want separate revenue stream and don't want people to pay for this. Like they just bid for the broadcast right yesterday (btw..they got this back in 2010 or something like that). What ESPN is doing is that...they are trying to see that since the industry is forced to pay them...can now they make extra by going over the top. Soon I can see that there will be no live NBA or MLB on ESPN also....but the price of ESPN here for cable/satellite/Telco will not go down. I will not pay them extra. Will follow the scores on some non espn affiliated site. Can you guys suggest some good ones.

Crookbond Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 You will be surprised of football prices all over the world Many people I know are now using VPN and our star sports subscription because prices are best in world .. I was in Germany for the FIFA 2014 WC and trust me it wasn't that ridiculous - 99 CND$ for a final. :giggle: I will be traveling for some days during the WC and might opt for the Star Sport subscription itself. In fact, I may not even go for a TV subscription for Star Sports for February.
