Footie fans can look forward to a variety of new ways to watch UEFA Champions League football, satellite and digital TV operator Sky has announced.
The broadcaster says that a new three-year rights deal between Sky and ITV will allow viewers to watch as many as eight games simultaneously on its channels during the group stage.
ITV will be able to choose two matches on Tuesdays, with one match showing on ITV1 and the other one to be shown on its digital channels.
Sky will cover all the other games on Tuesday as well as those on Wednesday, and Sky promises subscribers they can watch the game online via their broadband connection if they can't get to a digital TV.
Vic Wakeling, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "The digital technology we have developed is unique, and has worked superbly. Our subscribers have told us how much they appreciate the power of choice, and the ability to switch between eight live matches at any time."
