Wondering if the upcoming matches (Austria v. England and Poland V. England) on Sept 4/8 will be shown on DISH. On Bell Expressvu in Canada they are. Don't both providers show mosly the same PPV?

Cheers

Another consideration: dish or DirecTV may have rights - but can only offer the games to commercial establishments.

You can find out which games are available, when and (most important) where (and if it'll cost ya) over the next 75 days - or as far as they know - at Oliver Tse's soccerTV (http://www.soccertv.com/intl.cfm) website.

Sorry, as much as I love the EPL/European leagues I can't agree with you that showing more English football will garner that many additional customers. NFL yes, college football yes, Latin football yes, European Football I don't see it.

I'm actually shocked that they have a EPL season package, of course I think it's one game a week and over $250/season....That's a ripoff!!!!
