    I'm in Fairfax Woody, and the only options that have GolTV in my area are COX and Verizon.

    May or may not be related to Bayern next season,....BUT, Bein Sport supposedly being added to Verizon Fios this week. I doubt Bundesliga would go to Bein - just don't see room on their schedule with Spain, Italy, and French leagues taking up most of their football programming on weekends. But they do show an awful lot of games on delay, so perhaps the "Shakes" :) that own BeIn would bid on the Bundesliga USA Rights and show everything but the odd Bayern match on delay....that is, of course, if Gol goes out of business, as most expect....

    This is such BS. WTF is Faux Sports in this?! They don't need match delay, people will just continue to watch streams

    I wonder if Bein will be added in lieu of GolTV or if we will get both channels.

    I really hate goltv... It's so amateurly run..

    The quality is pixelated, the programs are never in synch with your guide or any other guide on the planet.,
    You literally have to wait 5 mins before kick off before it updates properly... And you can forget about watching German qualifiers properly on hd, because its never in synch with its standard channel.. So you have to watch a game in standard on an hd tv.....

    Please fox or bein sports pick the German broadcasting and rid us of this nonesense..
    Bein2 or fox soccer would be fine.

    There's a "BeIn En Espanol" that doesn't always show the same programming as the other Bein...so, I guess if you want to watch your favorite team and they're on Bein In Espanol, you better be able to understand/speak Spanish- kind of like when Bayern matches were only on ESPN Deportes a year or so ago....

    HD supercedes any language broadcast.

    Meaning I'll take whatever I can get if it's HD

    I will take a card for the "please stop all the sabotaging of every thread with the Gomez speak" team.

    Is it wrong that I cannot read that without hearing the sound effects from the TV show in my head?

    So Bein English and Bein Spanish officially announced on Fios, and as of right now it looks like it'll (Bein English) only be available on the "Ultimate HD" package, which is the most expensive (of course), and it will not be included in the sports package. Also, Bein Spanish, which doesn't always show the same match as the English channel, is NOT included in the Ultimate HD. So, in order to get both channels you would need the most expensive package AND the Spanish package...ouch

    When does Bein english start for FiOS? I'm pretty sure i have the "Ultimate HD" package.

    Pretty sure it is live now....how's the production quality? Is it like Gol, where every single thing is high school A/V level?

    I checked the FiOS website and they don't appear to offer BeIN in Virginia.

    Ahhh, maybe your market wasn't included in the initial rollout, but its live in the Boston market. Both the Spanish and English channel are on my guide with the option to "Subscribe" when I hit the remote info button when I'm on Bein in the guide. I don't have the Ultimate package or the Spanish package, so I don't have either channel. I'm going to wait until the Bundesliga's US television deal/situation is sorted out before I shell out the dough to get Bein...

    I have been searching everywhere and there doesn't seem to be any mention of bundesliga rights going anywhere or Germany international.

    I guess everyone is happy with an amature goltv...

    I personally believe that once GolTV goes under, there will not be any more BL coverage on US TV. Its not popular enough for one of the big networks to spend the money to get it.

    Unfortunately I tend to agree with you...that's where the DFL could/should come in. Do they want their product on American television? Do they want American dollars buying their shirts and merchandise? Make it worthwhile to ESPN to pick up the Bundesliga. I've long thought the DFL and German football clubs don't care much about America/the American Market - how often do you see German clubs touring the states? Every year it seems EPL, Serie A, La Liga sides, and Celtic are touring America. Perhaps the upcoming USA/Germany friendly is a step in the "right" direction for marketing Bundesliga in America?
    The best we can hope for if GolTV sh#ts the bed, as the soccer broadcasting landscape presents itself in early 2103, would be if ESPN bought the rights and showed the games on watchespn and espn3...I really don't think we can hope for more than that - perhaps they show a handful of Bayern vs Dortmund, Schalke, Leverkusen, etc., matches on Deportes, but I think that'd be it. I'm curious what programming ESPN will run in the Saturday/Sunday time slots where they typically show EPL games....fingers crossed for Bundesliga on American TV next season...or at least streaming legally and in decent quality :)

    I really think that ESPN will pick up the Bundesliga in the USA, they don't have the CL anymore and will lose the EPL after this season.
