Surely not at that time.

Not proper telly, is it.

Not if you pressed the "pause life" button in 1995.

Only small minority of the population subscribe to BT Sports. I don’t think that’s a particularly controversial statement. Hopefully it’ll be on the wireless for the rest of us!

I think I read that all cup ties are screened live for first time

All 32 3rd round FA Cup games will be broadcast live.

8 go to the BBC. 3 will be shown live on BBC 1. A further 5 will be shown on BBC iplayer and the BBC Sport website.

BT will be showing 16 games. County is amongst them. 5 are on tv, 11 are online.

The last 8 will be shown on FA player. I assume this is a variation of efl iplayer but I am not sure.

Quarter to eight on a Sunday evening. For F@ck's sake.

All free to view is that correct

BBC is. BT Sport is a subscription service. No idea if they are waving subscriptions for this round. No idea about FA player. Never heard of it before.

Just stating that they will all be broadcast live.

Just Google "BT Sport live stream" on the day of the game and watch it for nothing like everyone else does.

If others want to do that, it's a matter for them. I certainly won't be breaking the law if there's perfectly good commentary available for the bargain price of the licence fee via BBC Radio Wales.

Obviously it's very strange times at the moment, so I can see why the FA want to maximise exposure and gets fans to shell out to watch on a telly or laptop if they can't get to the game. But I do worry that the genie is out of the bottle now and people will expect this to be an option in future (post-COVID) seasons, to the detriment of clubs who rely on punters coming through the turnstiles.

I doubt it the armchair crew will continue to warm their bums at home, and the fans will be itching to get back to the grounds the same as before.

It's nice to have the option of away games but we could watch the midweek games for a tenner before, it's only the Saturday games that's new.

We have Virgin cable which I believe automatically gives us BT Sports.
I do not pay extra or subscribe for this channel.

Cheers

BT Sport is channels 527, 528 & 529 on Virginmedia. Check that you can watch these channels.

It can only be good news. And I assume that all FA Cup games will be shown live whilst the UK (or constituant parts of it) remain in lockdown, so could be on-going good news for the smaller clubs throughout their progress in the FA Cup this season.

BT Sports is included in the Full House (previously called XL) and above packages with Virgin Media.
