Whats the Premier league coverage like over there? - How many Everton games a year on average are available to watch?

 

[Dylan]

Between Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta sports, we probably get 80-90% of the games. However, I only have FSC as Setanta is Satellite only and I have cable!!!!

I might get 1 a month via FSC. Like Dylan, I don't have satellite but rather have Fios so, no Setanta for me.

 

[Dylan]

Hmph, I want Fios, or rather another fiber optic equivalent!

 

[TX Tiburon]

Yep, that Fios is a good. No downtime over the last year for either the tv or the internet (outside of my router dying once). I just noticed I answered the question wrong. I get EFC about once a month on FSC due to scheduling. However, I get probably 3-5 games a weekend, fox football phone in and other update shows. I'd say the coverage is pretty good.

 

[TX Bill]

Dylan nailed it.

Between FSC and Setanta North America, we get the majority of the matches.

I'd say about 1/2 of them LIVE and 1/2 tape delayed.

Setanta has been a life saver.

ESPN says they are going to make a bid for the Premiership when the contract is up. This might either be a good thing (matches in HD?) or a bad thing (conflicts with college football? I can't get ESPN International on digital cable).

 

[TX Bill]

I'm guessing between ESPN (HD), ESPN2 (HD), and ESPN Classic, they'll be able to show a few matches LIVE as they'll be on before NCAA Football.

As for anything tape delayed, I haven't a clue?

I'm guessing FSC will still try to get a few as that's their bread and butter for the most part.

i currently don't get either FSC or Setenta (my parents wouldn't spring for FSC at home, and at university we don't have it either), so i have to resort to streaming every game online. there really are worse things though, since most of the time i can find a stream for the game.
