    Time to bring back USSB?

    We better watch out. With all the horse trading going on with the debt ceiling limit, the terrestrial loophole may get added on to somebody's version of the bill. May not be likely, but I wouldn't put it past Comcast's lobbying beneficiaries.

    http://www.espncricinfo.com/ CricInfo. Now owned by ESPN. Scroll to the bottom and hit the Site Map button and find the cricket explanations and rules links to learn a little more.

    The last time D* broadcast cricket in HD (T20 WC?), it was in the 477-1 to 479-1 range, which is now used for some of the soccer packages. Don't set your DVR too far ahead; they could end up assigning the matches to a completely different set of channels by the time they are played.

    don't hold your breath waiting. USA Rugby has made Rugby WC. Carried on Setanta or Fox Sports World. Not local or even that mainstream.

    Is there any HD coming across the 95W sat for any channel or service? I am guessing the HD cricket shown previously on D* was on a different sat and D* bore the extra costs of carrying the additional feed as part of the Cricket Ticket program. I can only assume carrying HD would be a fairly...

    Will NESN go back to its roots and show dog racing and candle pins? Ah, the demise of the truly regional sports channel...

    Anybody else watching 635 MSG+ right now? They have some big color issues. Everyone looks like smurfs. It looks like all colors are inverted like a color film negative. Not only is the Cal/Colorado game impacted, but commercials are, as well.

    Well, here we have the situation that was feared earlier in this thread that Willow will only provide one feed. Currently showing the Pak-Eng ODI, while the Champions League kick-off match is running and not being broadcast. Does anyone know if 497 is on the 95 sat, as well? I am getting lots...

    I think what Dork was implying is that there should be a middle pricing tier for people who are already D* customers, but don't buy NFLST for the TV. A "membership has its privileges" kind of thing. I think that's a fair request from D* subs. The NFL may be driving the pricing on this one...

    I don't know how long this has been running or when it will end, but the rest of the Cricket Ticket (only Champions League T20) is now being offered FREE. Just call. If you have never watched cricket, here is your chance. http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/sports/cricket?footernavtype=-1...

    I just signed up for MLB.TV to get Phillies games. I am not holding my breath for CSN Philly any time soon.

    This is a variation on a theme presented before. I still have a DTivo working and it has always had "showcases" that were short to medium length commercials that were loaded to the Tivo hard drive for the viewer to watch if they wished. New showcases would be downloaded periodically.

    Is 95W also rented? I thought that D* programming on it (mostly international) was also going to be transitioned out, as well.

    I hope some of you folks not familiar with cricket get a chance to watch these matches, at least on a time-shifted DVR basis. This short-form of the game was designed to help bring new fans and players to cricket, so please give it a chance. I wish DirecTV would run cricket promos on the...

    They might just not have great geographic knowledge. LA Times Fact Checker: "If it was important in the American Revolution and it wasn't part of the Confederacy, it must be in New England, right? Go with it!;)"

    I didn't see any Super14 rugby matches listed on FSC+. Does anyone know if someone picked that contract up?

    I called to activate a new receiver this weekend. After activating, the rep tried to roll through a bunch of current offers, but I was not paying a lot of attention, as I was finishing the setup. I believe he said a new sports package of FSC, FSC+ and Gol TV for $14.99/mo, but don't quote that...

    Looks like Willow.TV has the US internet rights... http://www.willow.tv/EventMgmt/Default.asp
