MPLC, PRS and MPS. It also depends on what permissions you have from the equipment owner, as to what they licence you to exhibit. Also, their feed may not be via BBC/ITV signal, but a separately licensed paid for sub feed No I am not confusing anything. I am fully aware of the above (and the fact that premises without any of the above regularly advertise film nights) You specifically mentioned not being able to use a home Sky subscription which is correct, but irrelevant in a discussion about pubs who don’t normally show sport who are showing the euros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Euros have been brilliant so far but the camera men need to up their game. Not enough shots of the Eastern European women 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ram Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 (edited) A new bigger screen! It still looks very small if there were people there. Thankfully there aren’t, so people basically get the same experience as watching at home but with expensive drinks and it’s colder!

Do you know what people moan when there is nothing to do, Douglas council have tried to put something on and people still moan, is it any wonder people don't bother sticking their necks out anymore? 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere wide where people can spread out and get close to the screen rather than a road where if any more than a couple of hundred turn up people will be so far back they can’t see what’s going on. Somewhere that doesn’t block a road. i guess this is Douglas Town Centre Management or whatever they are, but they are relying on people using the toilets in the local businesses? Why not outside the Sefton or in the Villa Gardens? Edited June 20 by Roger Ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not outside the Sefton or in the Villa Gardens? But it's quite clearly in these early stages the interest isn't there so why the need to cater for hundreds? Maybe later in the tournament and hopefully the weather improves numbers will go up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a pub, yes, they can’t legally just use a home sky subscription. To paraphrase something I saw on FB... The police couldn't find a bloke with half a face running around London, I doubt they're going to be tracking down the landlord of a back street pub for putting a telly on in the bar.

No, but the licensing ( not TV ) inspectors might. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more difficult to check if they're facilitating under-age drinking, or serving legal measures whatever. Much easier to give Harry the sack for putting the footie on.
