That's a prime one isn't it. They tend to go for the 'not quite the biggie this week' type matches

No, I mean like ITV. I often can't access these as I don't have freeview only Sky.

You can watch them online on sport.bt.com on the day (I think they also have the matches free on YouTube and the BT Sport Facebook page)

I could have used “Bentfica” or “Benflicker”, but if I used anything on Manchester United (which I wanted to because they are my third most hated club, obviously have a ton of “misspells”) then this would have gone cold with revenge votes, and less users would have seen it or benefitted from the freebie :sunglasses:

I can’t seem to get BT showcase to work on my tv, I the channel listings but when I click on the channel it says there’s no channel do I want to delete.
I’ve re-tuned the tv a couple of times but still won’t work.
Any ideas?

It's a HD only channel now, do you have HD tuner/tv? The SD channel has been removed.

Must be this then, as all the standard HD channels work fine.

Never thought I'd long for the days of Andy Townsend and his tactics truck. Shame everything stuck behind a subscription now.

It’s a disgrace that live English football (in all formats) can only be accessed by paying for it. Fewer kids playing football than ever before...

At least it’s not as serious as sports like Cricket. I still remember the greatness that was the Ashes 2005, watched the whole thing on Channel 4, then it went to Sky (and now on BT Sport this winter). The cricket coverage then dwindled as the World Cup 50 over and 20 over events moved to pay TV, only highlights of England matches at 7pm Channel 5 and highlights of the World Cup matches on BBC at late evenings.
The only decent free Cricket coverage on free TV I remember since the Ashes went was when Setanta Sports shut down and the Indian Premier League was shown on ITV. It was shown every year upto the matchfixing scandals, and now that has gone to Sky (and unsurprisingly the viewing figures for that have tanked. The Big Bash is a superior tournament nowadays, shown on BT Sport but Channel 5 sometimes had matches live in the mornings).
