UEFA.com to start airing live video of CL

Just found this information from UEFA.com:

UEFA.com has discontinued services with Real Networks.

Finally, live video matches and maybe all of them.

Anyone know anything else?
Price? On Sale date? If its even available to the US?

I'm not so sure UEFA can pull this off. I subscribed to UEFA's matchpass a couple years ago and there was always video problems on the archived games. I can only imagine the problems that will arise when even more people log onto the live package. And they really don't have any details yet about this service. We will have to wait and see.

UEFA has finally released info on there new video packages. Bottom line: If you want to watch it live then it is PPV per match. They still offer the VOD matches after completion but live video will not be available as part of a subscription.

Just a bit disappointing. Guess I'll be watching through Setanta Broadband and ESPN360.

Guess I'll be watching through Setanta Broadband and ESPN360.
What does ESPN360 offer? Does it offer live matches?

How's the quality? It was excellent for the World Cup.

It has been said in another thread that ESPN360 will be showing the games they air on their networks.

It also looks like ESPN will be showing 2 games on some matchdays instead of 1.
