Anyone got an idea of how Gers fans abroad can get the EL matches?
Individual rights depending on the Country
So if it's not on a tv channel in your country of residence there is no way to watch it even though I'm up for buying it?
Not through RTV with a VPN, CBS in the USA and BeiN for Middle East if you can find a way of accessing them
What country are you in?
Thanks for your answers Arkanoid. I'm in NL and I don't imagine it'll be shown here. It's a bit strange that people prepared to pay good money to watch it are being kept out of the party.
Looks like Fox Sports RTL have the rights for the UEL in the Netherlands.
Down to UEFA and right holder in each country as they can access every game and don't want 3rd party broadcasters showing them live
Thanks for that london_bluenose. I've just checked their schedule and they don't have it. They showed the scum match against Milan last week as well so I'll not be in a hurry to give them my money.
Thanks, Ill definitely Ppv for home games, and £35 for Sky is tolerable, but can’t justify a further £25 for BT. At least with SKY if I get really bored I can watch other games.
The Dutch matches are all being shown right enough. I'm a full time subscriber to RTV and they're not offering anything other than audio commentary.
I thought I had it covered with GBP 240 a year to RTV but found out last Thursday it was not being broadcast. I can access Belgian TV so that wasn't a problem but Polish TV is another matter altogether.
Think BT Sport should work in other EU countries up till Brexit then it's anyones guess, so you could try signing up for that with UK details.
Yeah Rangers TV's hands are tied for the UEL unfortunately, precisely because each country has its own exclusive rights holder who has paid UEFA for the broadcast rights. We therefore can't show the games in the UK because of BT Sports and we can't show the games overseas because of all the other national broadcasters.
That's a decent shout, mate. I see they want 25 quid for a monthly pass. I guess that would be a calendar month and tomorrow is 29th October!!!
It’ll be 30/31 days from when you sign up.
You would need a VPN. If you try and view European games on BT Sports with a Dutch IP address it won't work because they don't have the rights in that territory.
Quite an incredible arrangement actually. I don't mind paying BT if I get to see the games with Benfica as well which I believe I do. I'll probably do that tomorrow then I'll see the next three games for sure.
Oh Christ. I thought I was home and dry. Thanks for that tip.
Remember that the reason we make so much TV money from European qualification is due to this centralised TV money pool.
I'm quite happy about that aspect of it and fully understand it but I'm finding it difficult to understand why I can't access the match when I'm ready and willing to pay for it. I'll try FOX and see if I can get a similar arrangement as to what BT is offering. Thanks for all your help in this matter. If I get a solution, I'll post it on this thread.
Yeah that does seem annoying if the local rights holder is deciding not to broadcast the game.
I can't get on that one either.
Fox Sports NL is not showing Rangers live. I guess that means there is no legal way of being able to watch this match for Gers fans in Netherlands. Pretty sad state of affairs.
RTV covers everything I need............up until we qualified for the EL.
Get well soon mate and hope you're back to full fitness again very soon.
Thanks to london_bluenose I have now got a link where I can watch the game online. For any other Bears in NL it's on Fox Sports online version. They have seven tv channels but Rangers match is not on any of these (picky bassas) If you can access a Fox Sports account it's available via the website. It is behind a paywall.
Hi there, I'm in Spain and use Mobdro, Live NetTV or Redbox TV apps downloaded onto my android tv boxes and samsung tablet. I'm watching BT Sports 3 on Mobdro just now and it's playing OK, it gets a bit iffy later on at night but I think that's just down to my signal, best of luck, WATP.
