Premier League on Al Jazeera Sports

[Larry-G]

Al Jazeera Sports has been confirmed as the winner of the English Premier League football rights for the MENA region, giving the broadcaster what it describes as ‘exclusive’ rights through to the 2015-2016 season.

This was first reported back in April, although it has not been clear as to how sports rights agency MD & Silva, who control the rights in the MENA region, are being compensated.

The deal covers every game in the EPL (380 Barclays matches) across all media platforms and devices.

To cover this extent of matches, Al Jazeera Sport will launch three additional HDTV channels, and has signed up what it describes as the best-loved and most respected local commentators to cover the games. Richard Keys and Andy Gray, formerly of Sky Sports, will present the English-language coverage, while Ayman Jada and Mohammed Saadon Al Kuwari will present the Arabic coverage.

I don't think the wife will let me go bigger than the 1m dish I have on the side of me house!! lol.

Besides a bigger dish can get very expensive...Best bet is the internet...Wouldnt it be great if someone came up with a plugin that streamed the premier league. Id pay for that

IPTV will be everybody's friend :)

Thing is the way there now starting to hit streaming sites, it's only going to be a matter of time before they go after those who build, maintain and host such plugins too.

Personally i would not say its as good picture wise but it more than makes up for it in choice of sports available
