Premier League on Amazon Prime

17 seconds between the Amazon Prime browser based player in Chrome on a laptop and BeIN Sports on satellite.

The usual catchup window has applied to these matches, they've all disappeared from AZPV now. The lack of recording facility to keep the content as available on traditional platforms might affect some very keen viewers.

Is it just 3 days then - that's pathetic.

Big finals aside, who really wants to watch an *entire* football match as-live more than a week after it's happened? Highlights are more often than not entirely adequate.

Absolutely true but for those who do make it available officially rather than making unofficial streaming the only option.

The matches are still available to watch through Prime Video

Mysteriously they’ve reappeared, they definitely went awol in the crazy AZPV indexation system last weekend, to only reappear at some stage late Monday. What’s interesting is that they’re not showing, whether as a result of contract or decision the PL catchup and review shows that BT and Sky show.

As an aside, AZPV take their first steps with rights to UEFACL in the German speaking market in the next three year period, they’ll share these with another operator, AZPV taking Tuesday fixtures.

there is a small red herring here: the PLP world feed has a deliberate delay - 3 sec, I believe - added to it. I think this was originally introduced to try to claim that the coverage was a prerecorded programme (an 'artistic work'), therefore copyrightable by PLP, and so anybody exhibiting it without the copyright owner's permission (eg a pub landlord showing a foreign broadcaster's coverage) could be done for breach of copyright. I don't think the courts ever bought it, but the delay definitely remains.

So it’s 21 seconds behind proper live on Amazon?

A reminder of the KO times for tomorrow's extravaganza....
