Hi Gibbo

Where has this information come from? Viasat Latvia and Lithuania are both still advertising 380 games on their website.

Is anyone else's box keep losing signal . On premier league hd channel 19 it's not a signal issue I have checked and it only starts doing it when a live game starts

Hi Gibbo74

I had a call from a club in Blackburn last night saying the same thing.
Signal level was good but the picture kept dropping off for the match & was then ok after the match.

Mine was ok at home though in south Manchester.

@ blueboy my supplier has rang to inform me ,also I have been online looking at other suppliers and Drs trading now state on the Viasat package that it no longer includes 3pm games :-(

@rigsby
Yh I'm in Leigh and a local pub that I fitted a few weeks ago started having problems when it got windy but I resolved that and the dish is going no where , once the game started the signal was still the same but the box kept saying no signal but if you reboot the box it's fine for a while , I wounded if they have been turning the signal levels down trying to stop people in the uk watching it ? I have asked my supplier and he's going to replace the box to she if that makes any difference
I can see a lot of pixxed off people over the next few days

I also notice that the Hockey channel has dissappeared from the channel line up on the Lithuanian package as i factory reset a new box last night & then did a software upgrade on the Twin tuner box by pressing & holding the right arrow button which is next to the OK button on the front panel of the box.

Pub and Club Foreign Football systems and Foreign cards

The direct link to the site saying they no longer offer 3 pm games

[rigsby71]

To be honest, i would be fairly happy if at least we could still get the Prem League HD channel on for 3pm's as mostly it is United or City that have been on recently as that is my people's main area of interest.

It's the smaller teams you see on the Xtra Pl channels mostly
so i could just about live with not having that but not the 3pm HD channel.

Hopefully it is just a small blip which may last a few weeks (like Tring did) & then may get sorted out (like Tring seems to have been recently) & we can get on with it again like normal.

I just spoke to drs and they said that the bg package nova diema on 23.5 e is gonna start showing the pltv station not bad price either

So it looks like they are keeping the channels in their line up ,but just won't show 3pm's anymore.

Seems a bit daft why anyone would keep channels that's never going to be used, although very occasionally , they have used the odd PL Xtra channel for a champions league game, but this is very infrequent.

So all these contracts that Viasat have with their own customers, is there going to be any form of refund etc or what could they offer as an alternative as their cutomers have paid for a service which is no longer available ?

Would be interesting to see waht Viasat have got to say about that ?

I will keep pestering my supplier in Lithuania.

I have two suppliers so i will compare notes.

It is a good price if it happens.

It was even scrolling across the screen on the Satellite BG website, but last week the advert for the Prem League HD channel was taken off & i heard that it was still in discussion.

They now just advertsise the other soon to come HD channels.

Lets hope they get it.
