Rip-offs are the order of the day
While I am on a prolonged holiday in Malta, staying with family who know that I’m a big sports fan, they kindly subscribed to Melita Sports channels during my stay.
So what does Melita Sports offer on their eight channels? One or two channels that occasionally show a live evening football match, which is then endlessly repeated, while the remaining six don’t broadcast anything at all for weeks or sometimes months.
Now that they have a chance to give something back to their long-suffering customers by offering the six-nations rugby tournament, what do they do? They put it on a non-sports channel to which we do not subscribe. I’ve seen and heard a lot about rip-off Britain; there’s a BBC investigative television series with that title. Another country just came to mind!

I watch lots of tv channels online from malta and all over the world. All you have to watch out for is the data allowance your service provider offer you. Few gigs is not gonna be good so best bet is unlimited download but than again it would cost a fortune in Malta like everything else. Also make sure you have tv licence

@ Angelo Briffa,
The BBC have a program(me)! called an i-player, available only to U.K. viewers, but there is a way of getting it free in Malta, though I can't remember how.
Wasn't the t.v. licence abolished last year?
