I'm still waiting for my email so, I can call up and threaten to cancel and haggle a better price.

Still waiting for mine too though seems I pay £6 a month for BT TV and get BT Sport for free. BT TV isn't supposed to be increasing so might get away with that for the rest of the season.

Have they ditched the L-shaped information graphics on BT Sports 3? I recorded The Clare Balding Show from it earlier today, which didn't have it, and it's not on a Ligue 1 replay right now.

It's sometimes off for parts of the weekend and is always off between midnight and 6am.

Ashes Cricket....

BT Sport not throwing to the Australian Broadcaster Channel Nine for commentary, but doing their own live from the Gabba, their own graphics set too.

Graphics a bit....spacy. The gap below is a bit noticeable, and one can't help but wonder that if they bunched the elements up a bit and negated some of the fripperies they could have had the BT Sport 1 / HD1 logo in line rather than being marooned in the top right.

I quite like the gap at the bottom as it feels less like a bit of picture is cut off at the bottom with the Sky approach. I would have liked to have seen something a bit more revolutionary though.

I think somehow stacking it and shrinking it as balls are played would be a better route to go down.

Is there no free TV coverage?

Quote:
The Ashes will be shown live on BT Sport 1 every night during the series, with highlights shown during the day on the same channel. Highlights will also be available for FREE on BTSport.com and the BT Sport app from 19:00 each day.

The match will be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, Radio 4 LW and online via the BBC Sport website and app.

Appears not.
But
1.That might be that Cricket Australia (the ultimate rights holders) didn't put them out to tender..
2. If it was bundled with the live rights, then it's upto BT Sport to throw the line out, and see what bites. Which would be curious given the cozy friendship with Sports coverage they have with Channel 5, and not seeing if they were interested.

I think, like the Champions League (from next season), they don't want to share: it's a marquee event, and they want you to watch it on their channels. It wouldn't surprise me if the highlights show was streamed on Facebook and Twitter.
