    Never got into the IPL - don't know why. Is ITV4 available on Sky, NTL?

    ITV4 is on NTL/UPC - check the website but I think all the UPC packages include the channel. Its on SKY via "Other Channels" submenu I think. All UK FTV set ups have it as standard.

    Thanks for that. I have Sky, and have used the Other Channels bit before - if I remember/have time I'll watch a few of these games.

    Looks I am wrong, its not already on the Irish sub, but you can add it and store it in the Other Channels menu go here for instructions.

    slightly worried about this as an NTL customer. Really hope they don't restrict this to UK only like they have done with the darts and the rugby.

    yeah but that's not the same as tv obviously unless the stream is of the same quality as the HD one the EBU had for the Winter Olympics.

    Looks like Setanta also have the rights for the IPL, according to their online tv listings anyway, nothing yet on the EPG on NTL though.

    I wonder now will the ITV4 coverage be blocked.

    Its not the worst though, I mean obviously TV is the preferred option, but I for one would have no problem watching it on youtube if the quality is this good...

    I'll be watching on ITV4. I haven't liked the youtube quality for the clips they had up there previously. Streamed the video via the PS3 on my big screen tv and could barely make out the cricket ball with the distorted pixels. Hopefully the quality for the live matches will be better, and I suppose it won't be as much of an issue on people watching it on pc/laptop monitors.

    Ms Bedi is a fairly useless presenter, and the guests are fairly irrelevant for 20/20. Hoggy and Hick?? Oh dear. Still it wont matter once the games get under way.

    31 for 3

    FFS, Hodge will have to do it on his own I think. Shah might just be ok after he takes 10 overs to play himself in

    They might improve once Mcculum and Gayle are back.

    Can anyone confirm if it's definitely showing on ITV 4 through UPC?

    Yep, watching it now on UPC in Dublin.


    My gf wants to know why Andrew Symonds is wearing sunblock when it's dark out. So do I tbh.

    Fantastic, thanks. As far as I know, Symonds is sponsored by the sunblock manufacturer and is contractually obliged to wear it, no matter how pointless it is.
