    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?

    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?

    JSC Events Channel now on a separate frequency on 13e for the Euro's - Full English coverage with studio guests from England & the likes of Ruud Gullit.

    DVB-S2 11117 V 27.5 QPSK - 13e

    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
