The EPL have pulled all but one 3pm match for all providers.
From now on other matches will only be available by internet subscription to the local provider.

The party is over , unfortunately.

Shame this is, although i dont get the xtra PL channels, for those who could it meant that they could see their team play, if they're not as popular as the big teams.

Will be missed.

As far as I can tell AD Sports are fine as their channels are pretty much unreachable in the UK.

It looks like all providers that can be reached in the UK will be restricted to show only one 3pm kick off.

Not a chance of that is there?

what happens if you had an expensive sub for all 380 games as promised, will you be entitled to a refund?

you should be, go to the supplier you got your card from... Is there any satellite reachable with a 1m that will still get more than one game? English commentary isn't important.

Thats the Grey area, Look at it this way we have all the Foreign major broadcasters Viasat,Nova,Canal Digital,Meo etc... all of whom have paid the EPL millions to have broadcast rights for there area.

Now i would imagine that all the subscribers in each country which in turn is probably millions will want compensation from there respective Broadcaster who in turn will want that revenue back from the EPL to pay there subscribers because as they see it they have broken terms of contract for the 2011-2012 season.

This has pretty much backfired for the EPL and if they do go through with it for the 2012-2013 season then i would imagine they will lose millions again which i cannot see happening.

Its a waiting game now to see what happens in the coming months. While it was great that Karen Murphy won her case it has actually had the opposite effect for Joe Bloggs at home who could actually view 3pm's legally in the comfort of his own home.

the new ruling means we can all now go and sort out our own foreign subscription card legally for personal use but at probably the cost of losing the holy grail 3pm kickoff.

we shall wait and see.
