I'm not surprised. Do any of these companies do any study of Chinese purchasing habit etc.

Good on 'em for not paying for something stuck full of adverts anyway.

You used to speak the truth.
But now you're clever.

Especially that f**king appalling game between Derby and Liverpool last night. It was worse than the local league.

If I had to pay 5$ per game on top of a subscription fee, I'd forget about it as well.

Yes, but to be honest, the coverage in HK is SH1T, we pay for English coverage but have to put up with this rubbish every week.

If you have got any problems with this site send them to Support@HKExpats.com Thanks

but at least you got every single game available. what happens half time or before or after the game doesn't bother me
same with champions league, you got at least 4 games live on, I don't know any other places in the world which offer that (apart from pay per view)

I agree. Even SKY only gets the sunday game (or at least when I was there, of course things might have changed now)

totally disagree, every game I need to watch is on here at a fraction of the cost for the same thing in Ingerlund, but I don't support a Championship team propping up the rest of the league and thus never get to see them...

btw, Championship footie is live on Ch 798 in TVB's PPV package every Sat/Sun neet

I've been watching Sky's fantastic HD coverage in the UK. Just brilliant. Well worth the price difference with Hong Kong, plus loads of funky recording and playabck capability. Though they do split the games with Setanta these days, and can't show Saturday 3pm kick offs; just the early and late games.

Watchu talkin' about Willis?
