I'm not sure I would pay the non-discount rate of 12 quid a month for one championship game a week. The problem with all that is no-one is filming them to the quality to show on TV, and the NCL can't have had good viewing figures or it would have kept going. The amateurish presentation of that didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Would have signed up for this if Premier Player was available as a connected TV app. Can’t be arsed with jerky casting or plugging in a laptop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 13 hours ago, Szymala said: What is the going rate for this service - is it £12.99 per month ? I'd love to know how many have actually signed up for it. As a Sky customer, I have just signed up. I went for the one-off payment option of £129, so that is £10.75 a month. I will also watch the GAA and ice hockey, but I will be giving the foreign soccer and the rugby union a miss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problems at all casting from iPad to AppleTV box. The app seems very stable and HD quality. 2 @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrewxi Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Chromecasts cost less than 20 quid if struggling with normal smart TV casts. I have mine set up to a projector and cast pretty much all the sport I watch to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweaty craiq Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 16 hours ago, Mr Frisky said: Yes, let's tell the TV firms we don't want RL on TV as some fans will stay at home. We dont need to tell em, the viewing figures will do that - the only hope is C4 getting good numbers. The 10000 or so Champ fans will get rid of Sky sports and save a few bob watching a comp they are in.That number will bring no cash to the table and bring closure to any future deals, whilst Sky renegotiate on lost subs and reduced viewers.

You will be pleased to hear that you do appear to be wrong, thebrewxi! The PS website says "GAA programming available to UK subscribers only." However, it does add that it is not available via Premier Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulwalker71 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Someone called Emma Jones hosting the coverage https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/emma-jones-presenter-premier-sports-championship-rugby-league/?fbclid=IwAR1HKMZdjBvd60nd5AR_vNSXEcspjTueHqXgUQ0OhyvfpilRhtCqYoaLT_A I'm not familiar with her work, but she's definitely easier on the eye than Barry and Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you seem desperate to find a legitimate reason not to watch Championship RL. If you can't/don't want to pay for it thats absolutely fine, just say that. 3 @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigbyLuger Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 They've used George Riley on their pool coverage, so wonder if he will be the commentator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
