Who is broadcasting this game in the United States? Are there any bars/pubs in the Dallas area that will be showing the game? Thanks for your help and suggestions.

FOX Sports World made another scheduling error.
iNDemand PPV has a 72-hour cable-exclusive window for the match and will definitely enforce the embargo.
As a result, FOX Sports World cannot air the Man U vs Arsenal FA match until TUESDAY April 6.
As a rule, if a match shows up on iNDemand cable PPV, it CANNOT air on any other network for 72 hours.

Maybe the match is available on InDemand PPV only in selected regions? At least for California Bay Area, I don't see it listed on InDemand PPV's TV channels. But I do see that FSW is showing it at 4pm PST on Sat. And Directv is showing it live at 3am PST.

Comcast in the San Francisco Bay Area will have the match LIVE on Saturday at 3am on channel 801 (pay-per-view).
FOX Sports World cannot air this match until Tuesday April 6 if it does not want to be sued by iNDemand.

Oops.
A "special deal" was done to allow FOX Sports World to air the match
on SUNDAY April 4 at 7pm ET.
Translation: FOX Sports Int'l paid iNDemand to lift the 72-hour embargo.

Did FSW get badly outbid this year?
Last year, it seemed that even if Man Utd didn't play, there was a great match live every Saturday morning. This year many weeks, we're treated to the dubious pleasure of the Bundesliga first... then maybe an EPL replay later.
I'm surprised they're getting massacred by a PPV company in bidding :(.

da_cfo, thanks for the correction. tv.yahoo.com incorrectly listed the match on 4/2 3am instead of 4/3 3am.
I have a question for you guys who've ordered from comcast's InDemand PPV before. Last time I tried to order the Chelsea vs ManU league match but the CSR told me that I need to order the whole season package and cannot order individual matches. Does this apply to FA cup matches also?

Trinity Hall doesn't have FA Cup, so the best bet is The Londoner in Addison, not that I would like to be caught dead in Addison. Actually, with a, what, 5 AM kickoff, all the plastic-fantastic folks who hang out in Addison bars will still be passed out...

Coach - I went out to Duke's in Addison the other night for 105.3's Dodge Ball tourney - your mention of plastic-fantastic reminded me... 36-23-36, anyone?
I'd be surprised to see the Londoner have the game that early too. And even if they did - ******** that! 5:00AM? That's why I have Tivo
Has anyone been able to order the match on Directv? I keep getting a some sort of message that says purchase information cannot be retrieved right now or something...

The Londoner isn't showing it, and the Dubliner is waiting until 11 to show it AND still charging a $10 cover.
This sucks as DISH is carrying the other semi, not this one, so I shall be PC-side, watching the text updates...
AND BOY DOES THAT SUCK!!

I was able to order from DIRECTV website.
Channel 104 has been removed now from the listing on the website. I was able to do a search for title ("United") and order it that way.
Let's hope it works...
