[Longhorn]

WTF Isn't competition supposed to LOWER costs??!!!

[Dj_spike]

Starhub have until end May 2010 to rectify this.... if situation not change, i bet 90% up lorry....

[AndrewLee72]

I wish I can nuke all singt@#$!@#$#@$# satelitessss now

[Kanchelsk]

i jus signed the starhub contract... so how now

[Beachboys]

good news for those on Starhub who do not want to watch EPL and want to catch F1, WWE, etc... previously all grouped together n the non-EPL fans are paying so much xtra~

[Starry2]

Does this mean it will be shown live on Channel 5?

 

Or is it that I will have to subscribe to some non-sense like mio TV?

 

Note hor....mio-TV means you need a phone line at home. My home has no phone line.....so I have to subscribe a phone line now?

 

Forget it la...unless they show live on Channel 5, it means some other online option for me.

Bro....what make you think they will lower the fees even when there is no EPL?

[Hokk7777]

Call them up and cancel the sports channel.

If they refuse to lower the fee, ask them to give u another or two non-sports channel group instead.

[Beachboys]

becoz Starhub all along has stated the price increase was due to EPL?

 

 

anyway just realised besides EPL, Singtel also won the broadcast rights for ESPN Star Sports, which F1, WWE, tennis, etc (ch 24) is showing on... dunno what else can Starhub show on their sports channel now~

[Help1]

[Sw20]

Once my hp contract is up... i'm jumping to m1.

 

Sad to say i was a hub club member.. and there r no goodies for me. only 10% discount when i am paying more than what i am paying now.
