Just emailed Now TV, in Hong Kong [since when things have improved I believe]:
引用:I have the cricket channel – called espn star sports cricket live "live" means action as it happens, right?There's an international match being played right now – England vs Sri Lanka; yet the "live" tv is repeat of England vs India game from the English summer.
Why not call the channel Star Sports Cricket Sometimes Live But Often Repeats? – or, better still, show live matches when possible.

Just turned on lest today’s 20-20 match shown – but no, was yet another repeat.
This month, get some international matches from Australia, plus bunch of domestic matches from Australia (kind of ok if nothing of higher level to show, but that’s not the case), and under 19 “world cup” (inc Papua New Guinea team).
Might be ok if a cheap channel – but get charged a premium price; premium price should merit premium content.9 2 月 2008 8:06 上午 #4502I emailed Now TV with comment rather as above; reply here:

Emailed back, saying:
Well, this looks better.But still hardly inspired.
I’m interested in the England – NZ/S Africa matches over the summer. Not too excited by schedule for coming winter.Seems there are no cricket fans working at the channel.
28 7 月 2008 3:21 上午 #4531Just sent this to Now TV:
引用:After complaining re the cricket channel, can now note that over this summer, seems considerably improved: instead of so much recorded material, seeing quite a bit of live cricket, including some significant matches.
Hope this is indeed part of a real improvement.– albeit things not perfet; no India vs Sri Lanka series, say.
25 9 月 2008 5:13 下午 #4544匏名is the upcoming india australia 2008 series will be shown live on star sports………
26 9 月 2008 2:13 上午 #4545I don’t know; you’d think so, given should be massive interest among cricket fans in this region
Had quick look on official websites (espnstar, and now tv), but didn’t readily find info on this. (Glad to see an English county championship game on schedule – otherwise, only seen domestic one day games on Star Cricket "Live"; tho of course reckon international games more important).
Might be best to email Now TV.For my part, hoping to see some of England vs India this winter.
Also the Stanford megabucks match in West Indies; but not at all sure re this.
1 10 月 2008 9:52 下午 #4549匏名Glad to see a cricket fan around in hong kong.
I was going to subscribe to this channel before, however it is quite costly for a single channel and I can’t find a lot of live matches therefore I have yet to subscribe it.
If they have the australian domestic league with australian test and ODI series and of coure the Ashes series, I might consider…
P.S. don’t think Now TV knows much about cricket as I’ve asked several operators and they do not have much clues, I suppose it is not the most popular sport in hong kong
11 10 月 2008 12:21 上午 #4559匏名we (Indians) and rest of the world will miss Saurav Ganguly for rest of his life. Thankyou you Saurav for your great contribution to Indian cricket.

引用:Thanks for this info.Looks like Australia fans will be well catered for!
As an England fan, I have some time to wait before matches of much
interest to me.
Still, at least this means there will be some decent live cricket, not
just lots of repeats.

19 3 月 2009 9:34 上午 #4592Just commented on Facebook re lamentable quality of ESPN Star Sports Cricket channel here in Hong Kong – suggesting it may be the world’d worst cricket channel.
A friend replied:
引用:ESPN Cricket are so crap. I can’t believe they haven’t shown any of the games from SA and are still repeating the SA tour of Australia!6 5 月 2009 9:09 下午 #4610匏名If you haven’t twigged by now, they only show cricket that takes place in certain countries.
England
澳洲Everything that happens outside of those countries is not going to be broadcast.
Could be because of rights issues, maybe India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, SA, WI all have their own deals with overseas broadcasters?
7 6 月 2009 4:15 上午 #4618匏名i just cannot believe this channel have given another shot of commentary to harsha bhogle and alan wilkins,i mean compere–ring and interview-ing wise no doubts they are two of the best in the cricketing world but gads give me a break, actual commentating on a live match a big NO NO they have been found out to be very very limited in the knowledge and dynamics of the game, and its an insult to experts and former players of the calibre of shastri,sunny,boycott,raja,wasim and co by putting them in the same box.their standard line are “what a catch,..shot, its a four..six” which everyone can see and they sometimes seem to forget that they are commentating on a live match and not doing an interview by talking incessantly even in between balls which is very distracting and annoying……so my advice is ..stick to what you are best at and leave the rest to the experts
26 3 月 2012 8:19 上午 #4842After perhaps a couple of years with ESPN Star Sports Cricket channel managing pretty good live coverage, become utterly pathetic again for past few months. Just sent this email:
引用:Where is the "Live" cricket on the Cricket channel?England now playing Sri Lanka; all you have is a recorded minor match.
Earlier, too, there was international cricket this winter, but not on the "Live" channel.
Will you waive fees for months when international matches are being played, but you don't show them?
問候,
馬丁·威廉姆斯
28 3 月 2012 1:44 下午 #4844Had this reply from Now TV, suggesting they weren't aware of the issue, hmm….

17 11 月 2012 7:55 上午 #4880After couple of emails to Now TV people – firstly after I turned on first India – England test match and finding commentary in Indian – I asked about HD, which I see Star TV supplies in India. This reply:
引用:Dear Dr. Martin Williams,感謝您給現在電視發電子郵件。

12 12 月 2012 8:47 上午 #4882匏名Never mind the commentary, it was the same blessed adverts at the end of every over that used to drive me nuts… I couldn’t take it anymore !
19 1 月 2014 8:14 上午 #4914Once again, an issue with Now TV's cricket channel. As I emailed:
引用: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:
引用:Regarding your messages, we understand your concern for the commentaryfor the channel # 674 (Star Cricket) and the ''Australia vs England –
Carlton Mid ODI Series'' on 19 Jan 2014. We are sorry for any
inconvenience this may caused to you.
After checking with our record, kindly be informed that the Star Cricket
channel #674 is showing ''2013 Ireland vs England Rsa'' at 12:00. For
the other channels under FOX Sports, including Channel #670 (FOX
Sports), #671 (Star Sports), #672 (Fox Sports Plus) are showng
''Australian Open 2014'' (Tennis).
Rest assured that we have passed your message to the marketing
department to follow up. Please accept our heartfelt apologies regarding
the broadcasting matter. Once we received the updated information, we
would get back to you shortly.
For the feedback about the commentary used in the channel and programme.
We would like to reflect your suggestion to the related party. Please
advise us your now TV account number and your full registered name in
the coming email. We would immediately pass your messages and
suggestions to the related department for further assistance.
Thank you for your understanding and good day.
To which I wrote back:
引用: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.
22 10 月 2015 5:06 上午 #4935After more emails to and fro with Now TV, and noticing it's no longer titled with "Live" but is Star Cricket, info from Now TV includes:
引用:Please kindly informed that Star Cricket only has the rights for Cricketin England, Australia, India, Bangladesh and all the ICC World Cricket
Events. We will keep on review the entertainment of the channels. In
order to enchance our channels quality, We will forward your message to
dedicated department as reference of future improvement. Thank you.
…
Besides, after checking with our related department, please kindly note
that the cricket match – England tour of South Africa will not be shown
on Star Cricket becasue Ten Cricket owns the rights for international
cricket in South Africa.
26 1 月 2017 11:38 上午 #4947Another day, another email with complaint to NowTV:
Cricket channel says now should be England vs India
Instead, got Aus vs Pakistan [continuing]
Can you get it changed, fast?
This also seems a case for using the other cricket channel, at 675: they can readily show two matches at once.
But really, NowTV doesn’t care about this channel or customers it seems.
Reply came around 12 hours later – albeit had to wait till office hours; too late by far, and with a whole lot of hurdles for me to jump before NowTV would do anything:
