Does anyone know when the new sats go up if there is a possibility of d* getting sky sports on I would love to see the soccer and some other international stuff that they offer.

There is always a possibility, especially becasue of who owns DirecTV and Sky Sports. However, there are issues with getting the network approved to air...

I believe...

The problem with this is that Fox Sports World has already paid for the rights to show some of the Premiership games in the US. There are also games sold to whoever putsd them on PPV. I guess Rupert could solve these problems quickly if he wanted, but i wouldn't be surprised if Sky Sports would become a premium channel (to make up for lost PPV revenue).
