Arsenal on TV in Israel and Italy?

[Schu419]

Does anyone know what the EPL rights scheme is concerning Israel? Italy? How are EPL games broadcast in these countries?

I will be in Jerusalem during our opener and in Florence or near Siena for both the CL qualifier and our game against Blackburn and would kill to be able to watch the matches.

There's a promising spot called Mike's Place in Jerusalem - I plan on contacting them - but other than that I don't really know much about this. Possibly a better sub-forum on BigSoccer to ask about this kind of thing?

Up for maybe some eyes who haven't seen the thread, and for an additional question:

does anyone have a feeling/experience to suggest whether our first leg against Sparta Prague would televised? The chances of watching a Champions League match on the continent are greater than an EPL match, but I still have no idea if Arsenal is broadcast with regularity over on the Continent

I'm pretty sure that almost every game can be purchased Pay-Per-View for the Premiere League in Israel. on yes Dish Network if I'm not mistaken. But i couldn't say what the chances are for a pub showing the game. But its at 2pm local time so it wouldn't be too busy, and i think if they had it, they would put it on. Can't say about the Champions League game. They wouldn't even televise Beitar's first leg in Israel, so not sure about the Arsenal game. But if you have internet access, obviously both games could be easily watched.
