BeIN Sport cont.... AGAIN

Is it safe to assume that Verizon are still being idiots about this? Why of all the carriers does mine have to be so stupid about this situation??

 

It appears they're just going down the list. Cox and Charter are the next largest providers. Fios and others are a bit further down.

 

Guess i have no choice but to be patient. Just hope that patience means weeks not months or a year!

 

So no news about Beinsport.tv offering games streaming, those "oferflow" matches that cant be live on tv

 

Happy to hear Uverse will have beIN! I was getting very upset. How do you know?
I cannot find this news anywhere but here.

 

So what was worse? This or the MLS website re-launch?

 

Hey, stiff A--Brit, go buy a clue.

You obviously missed the memo when Phil Mushnick (New York Post) starting writing about this company on August 3 and against on August 20.

Mushnick only starts writing when the "dynamic duo" upstairs are too busy counting "beANs" in their LTG Bank accounts.

 

How are things up in Yellowknife?? Weather nice and all that??

 

Bolton v Nottingham Forest looked horrible. More irritating thing though was that I flipped on Bein to watch end of Lyon v Evian last night at 1230 as per their website schedule and found N Power game on instead. Directv guide still not updated, and Bein website guide doesn't seem to be 100% accurate either.

 

In the Uverse forums I frequent everybody seems to think that there is no deal yet for Beintv.[I tell them that there is a deal but nobody believes me.....even the people who claim to be insiders]

 

so one guy left the forum then his rival Cantona is stepping up and being a douche to fill the vacuum?

just leave the personal stuff alone alright.

hoping TWC gets done soon, they are usually good with this kind of thing. even if its on the sports tier it'll be great..

 

Truly, truly pitiful.

Aren't sockpuppets a violation of TOS?

 

Watching Fiorentina - Udinese on Directv HD and the image is terrible.....

 

Good game tape delay on beIN en espanol at 7 pm MADRID B - BARCELONA B, 2nd Division Spain.
A lot of good players om both sides and future Division 1 players.....

 

Steve Cangialosi is calling the Udinese-Fiorentina game right?

 

Good god. What are they doing. Why do they need to pay free-lancers to cover leagues that have high quality feeds. They use these feeds for JSC. Why do they think people in the US need a US voice for non-US leagues?

I'm glad to hear that other folks are seeing this problem with the image. I noticed it with Red Star-Bordeaux and am now watching Evian-Lyon with the same problem (silver, magnetic effect from certain camera positions). They need to fix this. Although my daughter is excited that the sparkle on the players gives the match a Twilight-effect. Vampire soccer.

Finally, DirecTV subscribers should note that the on-screen guides do not reflect the BeIN on-line guide. The on-screen guide can't be correct unless matches have been moved around. I would set your DVR with the Manual option if you want to watch the games you actually wanted to record.

On the plus side, Phil and that Irish guy called the Red Star-Bordeaux game and the overall experience was much more enjoyable because that other guy doesn't talk a lot and never screams. This kept Phil on the mellower/informative side of things.

 

Heard very similar info to what Cantona has said. Crazy to me that Comcast got to the finish line before UVerse and TWC when it seemed those other two had a major leg up to start the week. Everyone knows how those Comcast roll outs go, though. Verizon won't even put major negotiators on the phone with the Imagina execs.

beIN has tried to get a multi-game streaming platform going(a la Fox Soccer 2 go) but the $ they are willing to spend for this is an absolute joke. They are apparently hoping a high schooler would be able to set up a platform to support thousands of people watching online at once because no professional company could get away with producing something so grand for so little.

 

I noticed this problem right from the get go, totally unacceptable picture quality! This silver, magnetic effect is so annoying. They need to address this problem ASAP!!!

 

Imagina U.S. just can't shake its old habits from its roots as an "ultra low cost" Hispanic TV production house, can it?

Again, Phil Mushnick (New York Post) would not have started writing about beAN SPORT and Imagina U.S. if he hadn't heard from his sources about the "beANs" that are going into accounts at exotic financial institutions such as "LGT Bank".

 

I think they want a very cheap option on the streaming front because they don't really want to rely on that for more than a season or 2. The reason for that is that they want 3+ channels eventually.

 

That doesn't get funnier the more you post it, Oliver.

 

So, to recap: DirecTV is supposed to offer two BeIN channels which theoretically are supposed to show 2 different things at the same time? Right? I only get the 426 one and not the 620 one: can anyone/confirm deny whether they both show the same thing? Or if indeed 620 shows something different (perhaps a different "live" game at the same time) ?

Thanks in advance for any help/info.
