Keyno

Don't want to waste summer

Agree, jonny. Rugby Union is so frustrating to watch, it never gets into any rhythm before there's yet another penalty. As for cricket - LOL!! Hitting a ball with a stick over 5 days. Mind numbingly boring!

[jonnybig] 26/6/2024 10:25

Rugby Union is nearly as boring as cricket. Penalties and scrums, hardly any action.

Sorry GthG but rugger is far more tedious to watch than football. An ugly, boring affair.

I don't mind football generally but the game as played in these Euros is simply not entertaining. I agree with your 1966 comment though.

You're up early!

Most of them live in europe.

All they need is a satellite dish and a freesat tuner.

big volume yesterday as huck said

[geckotheglorious] 26/6/2024 06:22

Seconded Keyno.
Rugger at the weekend, England vs Japan in early hours. Next weekend All Blacks.

And then there's the IC T20 cricket, semi finals are here.

Why anyone watches the tedious footie beggars belief.

It aint coming home. 1966 was a one off.

[keyno] 25/6/2024 21:10

Or not watch the football at all. My preferred option .......

You said: "B Is too funny. Just to watch a boring euro game"

So basically best option ring/zoom friend or relative to download programs and put on the cloud (or can do it before go on holiday).....

Big jump in volume reported. From 7m to 29m in the last minutes.

2 x 11.4m at 82.05p @ 13:19.

And - a little early to call it - third day with buybacks paused.

Sport is boring. Very repetitive. Then there's grown men watched by thousands of folk who go mental when they hit a bag of wind into a net. Think about it. It's bonkers!

[netcurtains] 25/6/2024 14:03

options.
a) you can set timer to download your programs in the UK and put in the cloud so can watch anywhere... Perhaps semi-stream them that way too (eg put in dropbox etc).
b) Video camera a UK tv set (LOL) - but it can work OK...ish
c) Vpn as others have said (but a bit pot luck).

Touch and go using a VPN to access Itvx and BBCiplayer.
ITVx easier I believe.

Have to use a UK VPN Server - BBC iplayer always rejected most of these too. Itvx a bit more forgiving.

Yip RR at close to 500p. Amazing it was 57p. 10bag in a few yrs. Not even aim companies can do that these days

[chrisdgb] 25/6/2024 12:01

It certainly was a very positive JPM note insatiable demand for ITV's airtime was one of the comments mentioned to me and nice upgrade in earnings forecasts, even better if England progress further....!

The marketing and investor relations teams at ITV are abysmal. Their phones are probably all ex-directory.

tlobs..You're right, it's not good. A recent post on LSE about ITV doing much better than expected purported to come from someone employed at ITV marketing. If that turns out to be the case next month, why can't they tell the market now.

Other companies issue up to date statements all the time. The new guy at RR Tufan Erginbilgic informs shareholders almost weekly about the fortunes of RR. Having said that RR is a rocket and hard to believe was around 80p the same as ITV in March 2022 when McCall had her Liz Truss moment.

RR today 450p, ITV still down at a lowly 81p, the share price performance like the investor relations team is abysmal.

[spacedust] 25/6/2024 09:52

Usual pullback for noreason. Will be over 85p tomorrow.

[smurfy2001] 25/6/2024 09:47

Netflix works well in a recent trip abroad.
Iplayer didn’t as well as Disney plus

robwt......... "Pity we don't hear more from the management."

They spend more money on diversity and inclusion than marketing.

[welshbob48] 25/6/2024 06:37

I fail to see what benefit large European viewing figues on ITVX clould have to ITV.
They would be illegal users as ITVX isn't sold outside the UK. (And I imagine could'd be)
