[Lovehurts]

WAH LAN DEY!

SINGTEL WON THE BID TO SCREEN BPL FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS SIA!

ARGH DAMN SHIT LAH! Then liddat how?? Time to cancel Starhub Sports Channel & sign up for SingTel's crap ah??

 

[fgl]

LH - U CUD SNEAK OVER TO WATCH AT MY PLACE:mrgreen:

 

[Lovehurts]

FGL D - HOHO!

How does watching BPL on SingTel work?? We gotta get their console too? Then what happens with our existing basic Starhub groups??

And how much is it?

I only have 3 words amidst all these new relevations.

DAMN. YOU. SINGTEL.

 

[fgl]

LH - cmon - my place a stones throw away from yours ... but gotta watch all AFC matches lah ...

rite now I got foc mio & starhub - both seperate modems & work independantly

 

[Lovehurts]

FGL D - What? Sorry i don't understand...Beg your pardon? Watch all Are sehn nell matches? What's Arsenell??

No seriously, how lah?! Now got to have 2 consoles at home?? One for Starhub so we can still get Star World etc and one SingTel console for footie?? This is LAME SHYTE!

 

[dioswkg]

so singtel finally got what they want.
fark it!
this is what happen if the man in charge doesn't know that football comes in different variety. epl/serie a/la liga/bundesliga are all football but they are all from different region.
sick of all this bidding war and in the end, sports fans are the ones who suffer the most.
indonesia telecast live free on their sctv for their people. we are just like dogs, whichever company got hold of the bone/stick, we wag our tails at them. and what next for us after 3 years? jump to starhub when they won the rights?
screw it, guess it's time to watch internet tv for bpl next season.

 

[fgl]

yeah - its certainly a dog eat dog world eve for broadcasters - what to do

LH - + my place got hot pool - can go for dip b4 match kicks off :mrgreen:

 

[Lovehurts]

YEAH MAN!! This whole BPL rights saga drama mama is seriously the pain in my farking ass!! ARGH!

FGL D - You will need to take a dip in the pool when Arsenal are losing & U need to "cool off". Heee heee! Kidding lah!

 

[faizal_rocks]

The Singtel/Starhub wars reminds me of that Aliens Vs Predator movie slogan..."Whoever wins, we lose." How true are those words.

Time to switch to watching matches online.

 

[Dime]

This is called public rip off.I believe Starhub's percentages will decrease rapidly with the new rights.

The whole idea of having 2 servers for such a tiny country is just lame.

 

[Lovehurts]

Faizal : Do U know how it works? As in if we wanna keep our Starhub basic groups then does that mean we've got to have 2 consoles??

I guess our only consolation is that SingTel's CEO has said EPL fans need not worry as pricing will be very much similar to what we're paying currently.

BUT STILL!!

 

[faizal_rocks]

LH: I have no idea eh..but having 2 consoles to watch different channels is just unthinkable for me. On top of what the Singtel CEO said,I have a feeling he did not mention the yet to be announced hidden costs...

*Psycho music theme plays*

 

[dioswkg]

yeah they said it will be the same pricing but wait ...
we need to pay for the box and extra set if you prefer your tv in bed :twisted:.
also do we need to subs basic channel 1st before we can sub for the sports channel?
yea it will be the same pricing as starhub i guess :mrgreen:.

 

[Dime]

Yeah LH gotta have 2 consoles.The wiring will be bezerk.

Guess there'll be more watching the Asian Champions League.GO KASHIMA ANTLERS!

 

[Lovehurts]

WAH! All this is just madness!! Having 2 cable boxes at home, and in the bedroom also! My GOD!

And yes, I'm pretty sure they will make us subscribe to their basic channels first & then from there add on the sports channel & what not.

They'll probably say, well, if Starhub could do it, so can SingTel.

WTF. :???:

Dime : So confirm ah, gotta have 2 consoles?? This is just shittily shitty!

 

[Dime]

Well everything is being faught over now.

From Nasi lemak to tv rights.All we can do is just watch it all happen helplessly.

 

[faizal_rocks]

The upcoming WC 2010...who will be broadcasting it, Singtel or Starhub? Gosh, headache and more headaches...
