Viasat blank screen at weekend for 3pm ?

Does not look good then if that is true.

But they can get lifted especially if Viasat have a case against the Premier League & they can take it to EU court or something.

Perhaps LJ's are just building it up more that's all.

Just noticed this on LJs site

"Due to an injunction by the English Premier League, all Saturday 3pm games have been withdrawn from the Viasat Baltic service as from December 3rd, 2011 ... until further notice."

Looking bad!

Viasat Baltic

Just posting whats on LJs mate. If this is true my local will be gutted, they've only had it in a month.

I know, loads of places have recently had this put in & will be furious after being promised a much better service than Tring.

It's not so bad for those who were thinking of having Sky but instead went for Viasat as they still get all Sky & Espn games
& champions league (although nobody near me will care about that now ha ha).

So for about a tenth of the price of Sky, they will still get
the same amount of Premier League games & in HD.

But for those who have Sky aswell, then having Viasat without 3pm games is pointless.

My only advice to those places is to say cancel sky for 3 months & you will still get all the same games for PL that sky have & at least that way you will have covered the cost of Viasat more or less & who knows in that period of time, the 3pm's may well return.

We just have to see what Viasat's response will be.

I guess their lawyers are trying to find a loop hole or conter injuction so they can carry on with 3pm's

Luckily a lot of pubs have taken up viasat from companies on a monthly basis. Very expensive at the time but in hindsight they can now cancel.
Viasat is cheap and these suppliers have made a killing with their prices as well as some of these cards being multiroom as well .
A high price to pay and hopefully these robbing suppliers who have put a massive mark up will get hit hardest.
