I`m only just seeing this now. I don`t know if its a good thing or not. Its great that darts are on telly but ESPN is not part of the full sky package and will cost an extra £12 a month or so. I have ESPN in because I`m a massive mma fan but none of my darting mates have it and none are keen to fork out any more money for their sky bill.

I think it's been posted here already, but although I have ESPN as a freebie with Virgin Media I would have preferred this to have been shown on terrestrial tv. If the viewing figures for this are better than ESPN got for their Lakeside coverage then they may try for a few more PDC events and let Lakeside go by the wayside.

espn is free for the first 3 months

The "big' ones are streamed live on my computer.

See no reason to pay for it.

Other then my donations to the streamers.

Which I do often.

Livedarts over on Justin tv has provided me with months of HD darts to watch and it was only

right that I sent him a donation. It was just a few pounds but every bit helps and is polite.

I often record the darts though and watch it when the misses goes to bed. So streaming doesn`t suit me, but I suppose something is better than nothing.

At Justin tv if you subscribe to that persons channel you can always watch the matches in archives.

I just re-watched the match between Beaton and Gerwin yesterday. One of my favs. big outs, massive scoring and a 9 darter.

Doesn't get any better.

Not sure if this link will work without subscribing???

ESPN did a crappy job of covering a big darts tournament up in Connecticut 5 or 6 years ago. I sent them an email before it was screened with suggestions on how to make it more viewer friendly for the US market, but they never implemented my ideas. I've been watching the reruns of the 2012 World Championships on NBCSports and I think they would do a better job.

SOOOOO true Coach. Not sure who they had operating the camera's but they did a terrible job of following out shots.

The link works a charm, cheers mate. I never realised Justin tv was that good.

That channel is the best I've found. Super clear stream. Make sure you check out his archives. He has a TON of matches saved.

Enjoy, there's a lot to watch.

***edit.. make sure you subscribe. Makes it easier to find.

I did check it out, the quality is excellent. I signed up and will be informing a few mates as some of them like the darts but don`t have sky sports or espn. Cheers lad
