    Chromecast is a good option to look into.

    If its the same as BeIN Connect on PC, they also have some CUSA volleyball. Tomorrow night they have MTSU v Rice, IIRC.

    I already have three Rokus. Adding a Chromecast would be redundant. Plus, I can screen mirror my phone through the Rokus, so it's pretty much the same thing as Chromecast.

    My android device is not compatible with the app. Did they make it incompatible with older models or do they require a cellular data provider (device is a WiFi tablet)?

    If they expected those crappy College Football games from a crappy Conference to bring in more numbers they were idiots for thinking that initially.

    It's a crappy conference but still pings a lot of markets in the US that otherwise might not carry beIN.

    That I agree with. But numbers for horrible teams are not that good during evening time slots because everyone is watching the College Football Game of the week on ABC , FOX, NBC, ESPN, etc.

    That's more the symptom than the disease. beIN has comically low ratings primarily because they have tiny carriage. It's kind of crazy they even allow Nielsen to rate them before they significantly add households. They had been on the up, but this latest month was a setback.

    Kind of sums up their rights/coverage of every sport from tennis to rugby to motorsport. Soccer is the only exception, I'd say. Maybe they should just focus on the one sport where they cover some of the top leagues(?).

    So take a week where leagues play on the weekend and there are midweek cup games (EFL Cup, Copa dey Rey, Coppa Italia, etc.) and make a sample schedule for BeIN Sports that only includes soccer they have the rights to. I'll make rules:

    1. The games don't all have to be from Europe. You can put NASL games or Conference USA soccer games in also.

    2. BeIN Sports has paid advertisements from 3:30 A.M. to 6:00 A.M., so you're allowed to include paid advertisements but only during those times.

    3. Some League Championship games are televised in England. You can show up to two League Championship games.

    4. Let's say that the most popular clubs BeIN Sports has the rights to were all playing at different times on the weekend, so you can assume that Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid are not playing each other and that none of them are playing at the same time as Juventus or Paris Saint-Germain. With midweek games there will be more overlap between top teams. Let's say that none of the most popular teams are playing each other and that you can show two live cup games each on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The EFL Cup only plays on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so you can't show a live EFL Cup game on Thursday. To make it simple, assume that you have eight games per cup competition to choose from, but obviously most of those games would not get many viewers. Also assume that none of the games go to extra time.

    5. You can have as many full or partial replays as you want.

    6. You can show shows made by BeIN Sports such as The Express as much as you want.

    7. You can show The Serie A Show, La Liga World, and English Football League Championship Highlights as much as you want, but assume there is only one new 30 minute episode of each of those that week.

    8. For any game or show, specify if it is live, delayed and being shown for the first time, or replayed. You can say L for live, D for delayed, and R for replayed. A game cannot be live and delayed on the same channel.

    9. You are allowed to show games joined in progress and show or not show the entire game delayed. You can say J for joined in progress. If you are showing a game delayed that had part of it shown live, you can say D-FCT for delayed- first complete time.

    10. Assume that you will not have any new national team games to show, but you could replay World Cup Qualifiers if you wanted to.

    11. You can make separate schedules for the English channel and the Spanish channel if you want, but it's okay if you only make a schedule for the English channel.

    I think it would make sense if you went from Friday to Thursday because some leagues have a Friday game before the weekend and midweek cup games end on Thursdays.

    I quoted BocaFan, but anybody can make a sample soccer-only BeIN Sports schedule, not just BocaFan.

    Yeah, I was surprised by that and was enjoying the run until there was the start of intl commentary on Paraguay-Colombia only to switch to some new freelancer who has the flattest voice going. And he just seems interested in reading stats and data from a media sheet. Sounds like the guys Fox liked to hire for awhile. I don't know why they couldn't just continue with the feed.

    And during one of the most important parts of the match he got the player's name wrong initially. :p

    I guess BeIN is so consistently bad nobody on here even complains any more when they don't show Napoli v Roma either live or even same-day delay. :coffee:

    (And, yes, I went to their website and after scrolling down 5 pages due to everything being in size 76 font, I noticed that they are showing it on BeIN4 streaming channel)

    With Chromecast compatibility and their apps it is difficult for me to complain about something like that.

    Yeah, but there isn't a full overlap between this and the Barca match.
    It just seems wasteful to show filler material in the 80 minutes prior to the Barca match (including a Serie A show! lol) when there's a big derby in Serie A taking place. Are Serie A ratings so low that even filler material does better? Couldn't they at least show the first 75 minutes of the Roma - Napoli broadcast on the English BeIN channel and direct people to their streaming channel if they want to see the final 30 minutes of that match?

    It might even lead to more people watching the Barca match.

    Atletico Madrid is on beINSport-ñ while beINSport shows two clubs that aren't near the top of League Championship in Aston Villa vs. Wolverhampton. In addition, Atletico Madrid will be delayed in English but not until Monday at 10:00 A.M.

    Barcelona is a big favorite in the odds for today's game, but if they don't win they could end the weekend in sixth!

    As long as they show Inter I'm happy on Bein Sports or their connect channels. Other than that I could careless what is on. I do love the Serie A show and Total Italian Football shows and hate when they aren't shown.
