DishHD, a high-definition direct-to-home (DTH) satellite television service, has taken over from StarSports in providing live English Premier League soccer action for fans in Taiwan this season.
Each weekend, subscribers with an “EPL Pass” can watch five live games, with simulcasting on five channels, so fans need not miss their favorite team’s matches, DishHD Taiwan’s senior marketing manager Rita Lee said.
SHOWS
DishHD is also showing Premier League World as well as preview and review shows.
Lee said the “EPL Pass” package has proven popular with local soccer fans and that many members of the expat community, including members of the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei and the European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan, have signed up.
DishHD, which has been operating in Taiwan since 2010, also broadcasts Spanish La Liga games on Fox Sports Plus, along with NBA TV, All Sports Network HD, the Golf Channel and Extreme Sports.
CHANNELS
New customers can receive 44 channels for NT$499 per month for 12 months.
To access live Premier League action, subscribers must then sign up for the “EPL Pass” package at NT$1,000 for 12 months, which incudes 10 matches per week, a total of 380 matches for the season.
There is a one-time installation fee of NT$2,800 for new customers, which includes a satellite dish, set-top-box and a 30m cable line.

I just couldn’t have scripted it any better.” A choir in the
The famously raucous Hong Kong Sevens are to start today in a big test for a shiny new stadium at the heart of a major US$3.85 billion sports park in the territory. Officials are keeping their fingers crossed that the premier event in Hong Kong’s sporting and social calendar goes off without a hitch at the 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium. They hope to entice major European soccer teams to visit in the next few months, with reports in December last year saying that Liverpool were in talks about a pre-season tour. Coldplay are to perform there next month, all part of Hong Kong’s
Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez and Tommy Edman on Thursday smashed home runs to give the reigning World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-4 victory over Detroit on the MLB’s opening day in the US. The Dodgers, who won two season-opening games in Tokyo last week, raised their championship banner on a day when 28 clubs launched the season in the US. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shuffled his batting lineup with all four leadoff hitters finally healthy as Ohtani was followed by Mookie Betts, then Hernandez and Freddie Freeman in the cleanup spot, switching places with Hernandez. “There’s a Teoscar tax to

Attendance on stadium court had been sparse throughout the day, but the Hard Rock Stadium turned into a mini-Maracana Stadium for Fonseca’s match, complete with Brazilian flags and soccer-style chanting. Fonseca brought his energetic brand of ultra-attacking tennis, but De Minaur was up to the challenge, coping with blistering forehands and a partisan crowd. Such was the dominance of Fonseca’s raucous support that the referee switched to Portuguese for his appeals for quiet. However, De
