Reply To: ESPN Star Sports Cricket Sometimes Live

#4914

Once again, an issue with Now TV's cricket channel. As I emailed:

Quote:
I subscribe to the cricket channel; expect Live cricket when possible.

Right now, there's an England vs Australia match.

You've shown 2 matches in this series; this is third one – so why not showing this match.

Why just repeats, when there's a Live match to show?

More woeful customer service from Now TV?

A friend also emailed a complaint; received this cc'd effort at response:

Yes, I know what's being shown on the cricket channel; this is not Live coverage.

Getting back to me "shortly" will be of little use given the England vs Australia match is already half way through.

As noted, woeful service, and not caring about viewers.
