      Don't have Sky, don't have Virgin either.

      Saying that, I'd be disappointed to have to pay for something that I like, and that had been free.

      SSN left freeview, and initially I was shocked, what was I going to do with my day, I enjoyed watched the same 5 SSN BREAKING NEWS articles over and over and over and over again.

      I suspect this maybe the same, but I have never seen LFCtv.

      The best advice I have ever received is "Let it go", If you don't want to pay the £7, or can not afford the £7, just let it go and forget it.

      They obviously do not care about you, so just let it go. £7 per month is £84 a year.

      Two questions, is LFC charging the money, or the broadcasters?

      What do the other teams charge?

      They could make it free, simply by adding it to the LFC membership.

      But seriously, why do I have to pay to be a member, of the club I have supported through thick and thin for decades.

      The culture SKY have created is abhorrent.

      £7 a month for what?

      Repeats of live games the following evening.

      They don't even show any friendlies live.

      It was good to see the U21's but not for £7 a month. It's a no thanks for me.

      Like others I wont pay for something I already have .If they showed live games then I would pay a lot more than £7 per month but not for this .Half the time what is on the schedule isnt what is on the TV.

      What has simply amazed me is that Liverpool Football club have, to me sold out to Sky TV... which is owned by Murdogh...and what newspaper does he own also?...Hmmm let me think now !!..I don't even want to say "It's" name... >:(
      strange bit of business..

      Why not BT ?

      If they showed live games fair enough but i'm not interested in finding out what hair gel Coutinho uses or what car Studge's pimping round in... :roll:

      To be fair, it was part of a subscription to Setanta I think before Setanta went bust, and then went free to air.. Both Chelsea TV and Man U TV both charge.. In that sense why would we not? That's probably what the club think.. It's not like theirs is free and we are the only ones bringing a charge in. I'm amazed it's stayed free as long as it has after Setanta

      I won't be getting though.. Plenty of other places to get your fix

      £7 a month is good value, if you don't value it at £7 a month then you don't value it much atall and it'll be no miss. I've felt for years it was strange you got a channel of that quality for free - ill gladly pay

      I won't pay it simply because I haven't got the time right now to make use of it.

      Last time I checked the club channel though the picture was horrendous so I hope it's sorted for those that are paying for it.

      Disappointed but I am not at all surprised. Used to get in and just stick it on while making tea etc. Echoing what some have said I was surprised how long it stayed free.

      Making it HD wasn't the problem for me, it was the dull look of the studio when they were doing things in there. It wasn't very pleasing on the eye and would offer find myself switching over. I used to love watching it for the under-18 and under-21 matches but they've been few and far between as of late so I'm not sure I'll be getting it.

      I had a feeling they would start charging soon as Man United and Chelsea have been doing for some time. It'd be worth it for those that can't watch the games live for whatever reason (always busy, working etc.) as they show the games the next day so you never have to miss a game then.

      Its an income that utd & chavski have over us, so makes sense from that point of view,a nd upgrading to HD probably cost a few bob.

      To be honest, surprised it was free for this long considering the Chavs and Mancs have been charging subscription for years.

      Liked the Press box and that Thursday night live show could be ok depending on the guests but I wont be paying for it.

      Is it definitely gonna be £7 p/m for Virgin aswell? I've only seen it say that for Sky, it usually comes free with the XL package on Virgin Media?

      I find it a bit rich to have Shankly speaking in the promo as if he would have endorsed fleecing the fans for as much as possible
