ManU vs Fulham on TV?

[futuregrace]

What channel in the U.S. will be showing the ManUnited vs. Fulham game?

[packiebonner]

The Fulham game will be on SETANA (which is available thru DIRECTV) no Fox Soccer Channel... Even worse news for Manchester United fans without DIRECTV, of the club's first ten games this year (up through OCT 28) - 7 will be on SETANA and only 3 on FSC... The only FSC games will be: SEPT. 9 Tottenham; SEPT 17 Arsenal; SEPT 23 Reading... It could be worse I guess if you were a LIVERPOOL fan - all their games up until OCT 22 are on SETANA... This "new" deal looks like it blows if you don't have SETANA...

They had to sell the rights. Arg. Well, looks like I will be downloading alot of the games.

I'm getting Comcast Digital Cable in one week, what channels will I have there? Or is it all downloading from here on out?

Espn bought the rights. So no more Sportsnet in Canada from what I understand. I hate that Sentana.

If it's anything like Cox Digital, you're screwed. For now, setanta is with DirecTV only. FSC only on cox & comcast. I'd get DirecTV except they would have to drill holes in the front of my house. Also, in our area DirecTV loses its signal in any form of bad weather. The internet will be your friend this season...

I have comcast and I already called and asked them, they don't have setanta.:(

They do have fsc though.

[doug1500]

Is FSC included in a basic package or what? I think we're getting that deal where you get phone, cable, and internet all for $100 per month, so I don't know what level of cable we will get.

What about GolTV?

[R1234]

I have to pay $6 a month for a package that includes fsc, but it doesn't include goltv, but I don't know if goltv is available on comcast. However, I don't have the digital $100 package. I'm not sure if you would get fsc standard on that one.

Omg, what!?!? Here I was feeling bad for you guys in the states and then I read this. How much is Setanta here?

[Laguna]

I subbed to Setanta last week. $11 a month but I get to watch a bunch of United that I woudn't see otherwise. Watched the match today, seems like a direct feed from Sky, unlike FSC which puts its own pre and post match voiceovers on and plays 15 min of commercials at half.

That is probably, in fact, not true.

They have shit games going, but I think it's still alive. They're showing Finland vs Canada U-20 Women for Sunday 20 Aug instead of any EPL matches though...

what I did, because I cant get direct tv where I live, I ordered ITVN, which is a broadband service that links to your tv. It cost 14.95 a month. And you get setenta sports, which I imagine will use its first pick every weekend to choose Man utd based on its American following. You can keep your dish network, just uplug it for man utd games, and switch to itvn.
