 On September 2007, Sport TV sent a cease and desist to a Portuguese live TV streaming website tvtuga.com because the latter was providing links to streams of UEFA Champions League matches that only SPORT TV had the rights to broadcast in Portugal.This has caused great public concern with regard to the monopoly abuse status of the SPORT TV channels.On 17 January 2011, Sport TV was criticized by Benfica after a match against Académica.
