    This query could almost just as easy find itself in another section of boards...

    Digiturk had EPL coverage last season. I wondered does anyone know what the deal is for the coming season (2013/14)? If known, what games are they likely to have (i.e. 3pm's on saturdays or the games on sundays?

    Do they offer these in HD or just SD? Will the commentary be in english?

    Rights for the next 3 seasons were bought by Saran Media, whoever they are. The fact they say they have the rights for "another 3 years" makes me assume they had existing rights?

    Tried to research it - apparently, Saran Media are middle men i.e. a distributor. They could either award in turn to Digiturk or D-Smart. I *think* from this tweet here, it suggests that digiturk will have it and broadcast it on Lig1/2/3....

    I wonder is there any way of working out exactly how many matches they will be showing - and would they be 3pms or Sunday games - or perhaps Monday night games?

    Digiturk hd channels are fairly weak in the west/north of Ireland. I used to have them on a 1.1m, but anything smaller in the west was asking for trouble. I think the signal is much stronger in the east. Manc red will probably shed some light on this.

    I'm in Dublin and can get the Digiturk Channels on 7e with a motorised T88 dish, if that helps...

    Does anyone know any third party vendors that were (or are?) selling digiturk cards and boxes?
