Primetime: Froch fight on internet

For those without Sky, the whole evenings show will be available online:

www.primetimelive.co.uk

We are working on getting carriage on Virgin, but this regrettably won't happen before the Froch-Dirrell fight night.

Thanks.

Is this a one off thing or is Primetime going to be showing more fights or just suepr six ?

 

Hi LHL

We will be showing more fights and will make further announncements shortly.

Can I get primetime on an old sky digibox with a lapsed sky subscription?

I could get Setanta.

 

I'll be watching online then.

What sort of quality can we expect?

 

Thanks

 

i've been told yes......

 

As long as your card is still 'active', you can buy the PPV. You don't have to be a Sky subscriber.

And you must attach a phone line so your card can be activated.

 

I hope the stream is exceptional for that price, there are 'alternatives' out there that will do 3 months coverage of all sports at a reasonable quality for the same cost...

 

thanks for the info, i'll certainly be ordering, great news that you plan to show more fights

 

Ive just been told by a woman caled stacey working for virgin that i will be able to watch this??? lies?

 

I bloody hope so. She might be confusing Saturday with future fights.
Streaming is not the future. The quality and bitrate just isn't good enough for us who like to watch boxing on big screens. Even when its upscaled, its not good enough.:nono

 

Streams will get there eventually, but right now it's only useful on a monitor. Even on a 32" LCD it would look ropey. On my 19" computer monitor though, it'll be just fine.

 

i'll stick with my 50" sky enabled tv

 

Rung virgin again and a second woman was convinced i will be able to order this to watch on virgin from tuesday eve/weds at the latest? would love to hear from another virgin customer who has made similar calls - she did call it a match tho!
