The Ashes on BT Sport 18:08 - Nov 21 with 21999 views | sparks | What a crock. No way I can watch any of it without a BT Broadband subscription. Ridiculous. They are well on the way to destroying the support base, especially amongst younger people, for cricket, for short term financial gain. At least when stuff is on Sky I can use the Now TV service and pay for the bits and pieces Im interested in as and when. | |

Only plus is that at least TMS always makes you feel that you're really there. Aren't there even any highlights on terrestrial? If not, my forecast is for illicit streamers to get minted, and thousands of devices to get infected. | |

The Ashes on BT Sport on 18:43 - Nov 21 with 9167 views | Plums | Personally, I'm delighted the Sky monopoly has been broken. I wrote to the ECB when the sold out to Murdoch and asked how we were going supposed to engage kids in a game they can't see. Their reply implied that they didn't really care because lots of people play the game anyway. The national jubilation that followed the 2005 Ashes win will never happen again because it's now a minority sport - as is boxing which went down the same route. As a Virgin customer with BT - I'm happy but I'd prefer it on the Beeb or C4. | |

Well they should do considering we sent them all over there to wall to wall sunshine and surf beaches. They owe us in the Mother Country big time! | |

And everything is trying to either bite/sting/eat or burn you alive. Plus wall to wall Australians is a tad off putting. Love the place really, apart from the bitey stuff! | |

It can't ever get great figures in the UK, given the time difference. | |

If you have Virgin then you probably have BT Sport and they have a decent number of subscribers If you have BT Broadband you can watch it Are BT not having any of the highlights on YouTube? | |

I remember when the second half of a league game which I think involved Blackpool was shown live on a Friday night(I think). It must have been in the very early 1970's and the novelty value caused great excitement. In a way it was nice when the only live club football on TV was the F.A. Cup Final and European Finals. Live Test cricket on the BBC goes back at least until the early 1960's. This has got nothing to do with who has got the TV rights for The Ashes but it certainly was a different world. | | | |

Apparently so. I was trying to get Modbro on my iphone before finding out it doesn't support Apple. I'll try it on my tablet tomorrow. Pint of Wine Paul gets everything via Modbro. | |

Yes, odd strategy really as if it were on Sky I would watch a few hours at the weekend and highlights. There is one day-night Test but I doubt it's enough to persuade people to sign up for BT sport. It's a totally different matter with a summer series, a couple of hours each evening and full days at the weekend - which is why I signed up to Sky in the end. | |
