Viasat blank screen at weekend for 3pm ?

[rigsby71]

I was replying to previous post.
lets just see if these newly arrived suppliers/dealers/installers refund or make good the viasat deals they have made so much money on.
Somehow I doubt it.
I expect we will hear not our fault and you are still saving money on sky/espn when at the end of the day they want 3pm games to entice punters in not just show what all the other pubs show on sky/espn etc.

At the end of the day though, if a pub can save ?7k or ?8K a year buy not having Sky/Espn & using an alternative even though it's not showing 3pm matches, then surely that pub is better placed to offer cheaper drinks & more entertainment each week than a pub paying a fortune for Sky.
Customers want cheap beer & will nearly always go for that.

Then a ?200 tring card or a ?350 sat.bg card will do the trick.

[Manic01]

In fact sat.bg will give the 3pm ko x 2 and it's a EU card.

our suppliers sold 2yr and 1yr prepaid latvian systems. bear in mind i am talking thousands. all 2yr sub stopped showing 3pm. but no probs with 1 year subs. this is because not many 1 year contracts were sold to suppliers as the deal was not as gd. so viasat target 2 year subs. viasat were pressured by pl and have stopped entitlements to cards bought in blocks. this happened earlier to nova, tring and even sky germany. this is why poeple switched to viasat. the good news is 3pm kick off's returned to the other satellite providers after a couple of weeks. so i would not be surprised to see it back soon.

feel lucky to know mine worked

[Manic01]

Most 1 year subs are multi room cards.

hi all, just seen this from the local shop...

viasat uk

Looks like an upgrade service...

Doesn't look like it viasat uk sat cards

[blue boy]

The upgrade service is for customers who have bought Viasat sytems from them and lost the 3pm games, it is a receiver they are supplying to supplement the games that are still being shown.

Work that one out for yourselves!!!!

compared to viasat these other systems are priced better. but there is no one system to replace all the missing 3pms. at best you will cover 2 or 3 games. then there is the risk these will be cut. i have been told some pubs make there money back in a couple of games. pubs paying ?1000-?1500 a month to sky and still making it pay backs up this story. even with missing 3pm on viasat i still cant see a direct replacement. i would suggest if the 3pm dont return and you cant live without them, get a back up system to run along side it. i think all you land lords know its a gamble and only you can take it.

Is anyone aware of a Viasat 3D Channel ?

According to a post on LJ's a 3pm match was shown on this channel today.
