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.

Lionel Messi drew vast crowds and showed flashes of his brilliance when his Inter Miami side were held to a goalless draw by African giants Al-Ahly as the revamped FIFA Club World Cup got off to a festive start on Saturday. Fans showed up en masse for the Group A clash at the Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, but Messi could not fully deliver, his best chance coming through a last-second attempt that was deflected onto the crossbar. Inter Miami next face FC Porto on Thursday in Atlanta, while Al-Ahly, who benefited from raucous, massive support, are to
Aaron Civale got a little wild in the right-hander’s first start for the Chicago White Sox two days after he was traded by the Milwaukee Brewers. Civale on Sunday walked four of the first seven hitters he faced in a 2-1 loss to the Texas Rangers. The 30-year-old finished with four walks, one off his career high, while allowing six hits and two runs in five innings. He threw 65 strikes and 39 balls. Chicago trailed 2-1 when he was replaced by Dan Altavilla to start the sixth. “Not the cleanest,” Civale said. “It’s been a whirlwind of a week. First couple
Sergio Ramos on Tuesday outfoxed two Inter players and artfully headed home the first goal for Monterrey at the FIFA Club World Cup. The 39-year-old Ramos slipped through the penalty area for the score just as he did for so many years in the shirts of Real Madrid and Spain’s national team, with whom he combined smarts, timing and physicality. Ramos’ clever goal and his overall defensive play at the Rose Bowl were major factors in Monterrey’s impressive 1-1 draw against the UEFA Champions League finalists in the clubs’ first match of the tournament. “There is always a joy to contribute to the
