Now that the Tv rights have changed, with Sky, Setanta and ITV (and maybe BBC) all showing games, it's screwing up decent viewing.
Saturday there are 3 games on at on the same time;Bolton v Middlesbro;Everton v Wigan;Sheff.Utd v Reading; all at 10 am Eastern in the USA.
Next Saturday, 3 again; Arsenal v Sheff.Utd; Fulham v Chelsea; Man.City v West Ham (!); all at 10 am Eastern , according to Nevada Smith's posted schedules.
And this Sunday, West Ham v Newcastle is on delay at 2 pm Eastern.
It's hard enough watching one game, let alone 2; but 3??????
I don't understand why they're doing this. Any comments?

Hi Gordon; They just show 2 games at once! Today it was Bolton v M'bro, and Everton v Wigan; I think the pubs with a second Setanta channel get all 3 for those who want to watch the extra game.
It's very distracting, tho'! Cheers.
