Saturday 3pm - The HOT List

[Salty25]

With the sad passing of DigitAlb, or at least for the time being, I think it would be prudent to at least try to centralise all our efforts in finding new channels to watch 3pm's on.

So, as an experiment, I have created this thread to try to list and rate those channels which regularly show 3pm's. The important thing here is that I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP. I need people to report on which channels/packages are showing games, and what game(s) they are showing.

I will keep a running tally for the most recent weekend, and a 'HOT list' rating of all the channels. All you need to do is report back on this thread every weekend on who showed what (I will delete all replies on the Friday before the next weekend of games, so that we can keep track of things). Once again, I will need your help to do this - If I don't get replies, this thread will be unstuck and die out very quickly.

To make things clear, can we all try to use this 'standard report form':

Package/Channel: WhateverSport
Game(s) shown: Reds vs Blues
English commentary: Yes or No
Additional comments:

I've decided to run this experiment for four weekends, just so we can get a fair idea of what is on offer.

We have got off to a good start in the opening weekend, well done and thank you to everyone! Our attentions now move on to the 3pm games of the second weekend - August 22-24

Thanks guys, but I really hoped for a week on week input of all the providers, otherwise we can't claim it to be a fair test of all the providers. Thanks again though, your input has been appreciated.

There wasnt anything on Nova as far as I could tell from the epg's and Premiere was full of German games. The Diema channels werent carrying any epg info.

There was nothing on Nova or Premiere Sport in the way of 3PMs.

Sky Italia showed Everton v Portsmouth, West Ham v Blackburn and Hull v Wigan games. Only Everton game had English commentary. The other two games where on the Sky Calcio channels that dont have English audio because Serie B matches (in PPV I think) where on the Calcio channels with English.

Diema showed 2 games cant remember which, Everton game and one other. Boro game was on Digiturk 7E sportmax and also on a Digiturk promo channel FTA on 42E. That FTA channel is also showing Liverpool game today.

Boro v Stoke was on 28.2E if you had a Sky Sports sub in a non-Sky receiver on one of the interactive stream channels. Not accessible with a Sky box though and had no sound(actually had the sound from one of the Sky Sports channels on it).
