Where’s it gone?

Now TV have 9 sports channels.  However, they don’t have enough sport to fill all these channel 24 hours per day and by the time you get to channel 638 (Now Sports 8) there’s usually just a blank screen.  OK, fair enough.

But hang on, there are several Premier League games tonight.  Shouldn’t one of them be on 638 or 639?  You might think so, but actually Blackburn vs. Manchester United is on channel 898 (TVB Pay Vision Info).  This is not advertised anywhere on their website, and it’s hardly an obvious channel to try.

It’s possible that if you watched the football on Now Sports 2 they might be explaining (in Cantonese) that this game is on 898, but apart from that viewers are left totally in the dark.  Very puzzling.

    Even worse for those of us that have been conned into paying for the full sports package on Now TV is that on Star Sports this weekend they were reduced to showing cartoons. Can someone explain to Now TV that this is not sport! I thought it was bad when they were showing that circus act of WWF wrestling but this is surely the pits. No world Cup, no Premiership next season but some cartoons instead!!
