Ginebra vs Rain or Shine quaterfinals game shown in bad reception, PBA fans uproar

Did Solar Entertainment just commit its third foul on Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) coverage?

Last year, a P3-million fine was slapped to Solar Entertainment after failing to air several portions of the game between Meralco and Talk N Text. Just this year as well, the media company was fined of P3Million anew since it failed to show the game between Powerade and Alaska live.

Another problem which may result to another penalty happened during the coverage of the PBA quarterfinals match between Ginebra and Rain or Shine.

Viewers from Mega Manila voiced out their disappointment after experiencing bad reception on most parts of the game. Via Twitter the following PBA fans aired their displeasure on the poor reception:
