As you know I have Ramstv and get the games live. Except that is for League Cup and FA Cup ties plus games shown on Sky/BT.
The Dutch rights are held by Ziggo. When they show a DCFC game live then it is obvious to me that RamsTV won't be able to make the live video available to me. Pure logic.
However, When Sky/BT are showing a DCFC game live in the UK and Ziggo choose NOT to broadcast it live, DCFC is still not allowed to make it available to me as that would be against Ziggo's rights agreement.
I have had email conversations with DCFC, EFL and Ziggo on this. Ziggo has the rights in the Netherlands to all DCFC games broadcast by Sky/BT. They cannot, under the terms of the agreement, waive their rights for games they choose not to broadcast and thereby allow DCFC to make the game available to RamsTV subscribers in the Netherlands.
How stupid is that? Totally illogical.
