Al Jazeera Sport!
Hi all,
I am investigating whether I should go ahead and subscribe to this service. The site is geoblocked but you can get around that via a VPN or by using google chrome and installing Hola blocker extension (let me know if you require further explanation on this)
This could be a vaild alternative to trying to watch Serie A through those "streams" that are not always reliable but also grants you access to EPL and Champions League as well as the French league etc.
The cost of subscribing works out to be US$15 per month for the 9 month season (ending 31st of May, 2014). (You can also choose 1 or 3 month subscriptions but they work out to be much more expensive per month obviously).
Now, here is the KEY question:
I know that Champions League and EPL is broadcast in English. What I am not so sure about is whether Serie A matches are broadcast in English or whether it is in Arabic only. If I know that say, around half of the Serie A matches are broadcast in English its a no-brainer.
The fact that you can get these sports coverage for this price and the fact that these days you don't need cable for TV shows and Movies (from various on-line sources) - you could end up saving money by ditching cable all together. You can also watch all of the games afterwards if you couldn't watch it live and there are no spoilers.
If anyone has used Al Jazeera's on-line sports service and can tell me that a decent proportion of Serie A matches are broadcast in English, I will 100% go for this subscription. If not, I may still do it because my cable service wants to now charge me MORE to get the EPL channels - something I used to have but now they want more. My cable service has no Serie A coverage.
I would REALLY appreciate someone's help on this.
