ban ITV from showing football

first of all they missed that everton goal last season and played a tic tac advert over it.

this year we missed an ENGLAND goal because they put a Hyundai advert on ITV HD meaning hundreds of thousand of people missed Gerrard's goal. Me and a hundred or so people at the place i was watching the game were not happy at all. and of course ITV's coverage is just terrible anyway.

BBC > ESPN > SKY > FIVE > ITV.

Never again.

Swap Sky with ESPN imo.

But yeah I agree. Plus, I wanted to see the handshakes, and the toss. Instead ITV played the advert. What a stupid thing to do. I get they want to make money but do it at other points.

ITV supposedly don't run it themselves so its not directly their fault, the coverage was otherwise to the standards of other broadcasters and I wouldn't say 'hundreds of thousands' of people missed the goal, ITV HD's share is lucky to be over 1.5% of the people watching a simulcast program.

If you have a problem with commercially funded broadcasters showing World Cup games, the BBC's coverage of England v USA is on BBC Three & HD in about 30 minutes.

i would say there were at least 100 000 watching on ITVHD because at pubs and clubs that's what they show.

and ITV don't take the pictures or replays but they do put the adverts on.

tbh i haven't seen much of ESPN (watched a few games at the pub) but i just hate andy gray.
