Pro 12 & Aviva???

[The Fat]

Just realised that Setanta don't have these two comps this season. Who is the broadcaster and does anyone else in Aus know how we can get access?

 

[buff]

We've lost them here too. Sportsnet World carried them, and both comps disappeared off their schedule last week. Now I've got no option for the Aviva except Premiership rugby and none at all for anything else NH.

Aviva site still says Setanta Sports for Australia.
Good to see they up-date their site. Grrrrr!

Aviva Premiership is on BT Sport in the UK, so not sure how you would get it.
However there are some highlights and some full game videos available about 24 hours after the game on the Premiership Rugby website.

They can only show the games once. You can't watch them later on.

it's pretty rubbish that content owners fail to make their content legally available in large markets .... then complain about pirating...

PVR it.

PVR it.

They are an online only service. They aren't on tv anywhere in Canada yet as far as I know. The rights holders sold them to a broadcaster with virtually no presence in Canada. What a great way to grow your brand.

BeIN bought up a bunch of euro sports without even checking what they were required to do to broadcast in Canada. They dished out a ton of money and the leagues said yes without knowing if BeIN had the go ahead to broadcast.

Also Google is your friend.

Got a response from Setanta in Australia.
They said they are still negotiating but hope to make an announcement very soon.

Fingers crossed.

Fat, is the AP not on ESPN Australia?

You got me on this one. I stand corrected. I googled Aviva Premiership on Sportsnet when I noticed it had dropped off Sportsnet's schedule and came up with the information in my last post. I guess I didn't search enough. I'm a Bell subscriber, so I guess I'm out of luck for now.

1412 on Bell, apparently. I need to pay better attention to this stuff.
