Reminder re Premiership streams , foreign satellite and internet coverage

Most of this is illegal and the rest dubious

Please do not post info/links re streams and non UK satellite coverage

The PL are very strict on this sort of thing, even videos of highlights have got some sites/forums in trouble

This is a public information message for the good of the forum and is in no way because I am grumpy after losing at poker tonight :mad:

iTV supposedly have recordings of the champions league games they show for a period of time after the games have been played. Well thats wht I thought I heard during the commentary of the Liv PSV game.

If it's on a proper site such as BBC/ITV/SKY or the FA/UEFA etc then posting is obviously ok

The contractual law with the FA is between broadcasting games between 3pm and 5pm. Now that in itself is crystal clear. The broadcasts of the games however isn't. Sky and the BBC have a contract with the FA, therefore Sky or BBC don't show games or highlights during that period of time, only later on at night.

Now this is where foreign satellite comes in (and why it's continued to have usage in pubs around the country). The foreign broadcasts don't actually have a contract signed with the FA, therefore they aren't breaking a contract. The source of the feed isn't coming from the FA therefore they can't break the contract WITH the FA.

.

who do the foreign channels buy the rights off then ? the premier league afaik , it is their broadcast . part of the rights of the licence is that the cards are not sold outside of their licenced area as can be seen by the fact that you cannot legitimately but the cards from official suppliers

public broadcast of Saturday games between 3 and 5 is an offence regardless of source

as I said some aspects are illegal and some dubious hence the only was to keep on the right side of the law is not to discuss any of these, there is nothing to gain from allowing it and there are plenty of other places to get information for anyone interested

you are way off the mark , the pub has no licence with ART , ART have a licence from the FAPL to sell cards for use in the area for with the contract is granted

You cannot buy an ART card from an authorized source for use in this country , they are imported by grey dealers as they are sold on a prepaid basis in the Arab countries

The post by "youstolemyname" explains things very well
