    TVCorners "Event pack" for upgrading to 9 and 10 warns that the sub will expire on 5 July 2012

    Hmmm. Did they reconsider just to have the extra capacity for Euro 2012? It also makes reference to African Cup of Nations coverage. I suppose it makes sense, in the context of their plans for the French market, for JSC to cover the lot.

    Is the Heineken cup shown on al jazeera?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 695 ✭✭✭talkabout


    The semi finals were on the weekend, most rugby seems to be on +9 and +10 but the Leinster game was on +3 on Sunday.

    What a sports night tonight on Al Jazeera.

    Ajax v VVV, Milan v Atalanta, Inter v Parma, Lazio v Siena, Juve v Lecce, Nice v Lille, Barca v Malaga, Real v Bilbao, Marseille v Nancy and PSG v ASSE all live on JSC right now :eek:. Two Copa Libertadores and 1 Brazilian cup game later then.

    What to watch?!

    I wonder will Al Jazeera provide a premium card, with the following two channels?

    http://www.beinsport.fr/

    2 HD channels, the first launching this Friday, 1 June, the second launching in August. 11 euros per month.

    Looks to be mainly the existing JSC stuff, with a focuse on french football but also with Bundesliga and French rugby league.

    I am considering this card for my father. I notice some comments re: quality, can somebody confirm if the picture is clear? Bit of a vague question but are the channels easy to understand / identify? i.e. is this type of setup sutiable for a 60+ year old?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭Johnny Johnson


    They are absolutely watchable. For the cost of the card it is a bargain.

    picture is great, there were problems back about 5-6 years ago when i got it first and when they bought art sports.

    the only thing which would be nice would be a now and next on the info bar from the channel itself without having to download a full epg from the net.

    my family has no problem using it and they dont know anything about satellite or receiver setup.

    I got a used JSC card sent to me from a mate there this week..

    Going to renew it and found this site:

    http://www.euro-jsc.com/Renewal.html

    Anyone used them and are they good enough to trust??

    They are just 9 euro cheaper than tvcorner:

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Does that require +9 and +10. I will assume yes. I am not home to check sadly.

    Anyone know if there will be any HD channels on 13E for the new season? My card expires soon and I am thinking about what to do for next season. I got good value from the card last season but HD would seal it for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭Johnny Johnson


    I'd be amazed if HD appeared on Hotbird


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭SomethingElse


    What leagues will Aljazeera be showing next season?

    As I mentioned earlier in this thread, Al Jazeera launched a dedicated service for France on Hotbird and on 5 west, with two HD channels under the BeIn Sport banner,

    For this reason, i doubt that they will add HD channels to JSC service in the short term. I was also hoping that they would link these channels to a JSC card with the 10 channels at a slightly reduced rate, but so far no dice.

    The following appears to show the division in french rights.
    Ligue 1
    Canal + : 20% des plus belles affiches (samedi et dimanche soir)
    Beinsport : 80% des matchs
    Ligue des champions
    Canal + : 13 matchs (1er choix)
    Bein sport : 133 matchs
    Ligue Europa
    Canal + : non
    Bein sport : 100% des matchs (mais aussi sur W9)
    Premier League
    Canal + : 100% des matchs
    Bein sport : non
    Serie A (italie)
    Canal + : 50% des matchs
    Bein sport : 50% des matchs
    Liga (espagne)
    Bein sport : 100% des matchs
    Canal + : non
    Bundesliga (Allemagne)
    Canal + : 50% des matchs
    Bein Sport : 50% des matchs
    TOP 14 rugby
    Canal + : 100% des matchs
