Yeah in places where the channel is off-air they've been doing it for some time now. The logical answer most people have come up with is that GOLTV is trying to offset broadcasting rights by selling their games to other networks like Telemundo and LTV.

We have done some syndication deals in the past, where we offer part of our programming to some low power stations (and a couple of high power stations), to give us more reach in the first stages of our distribution.
We probably won't continue doing so, since we are expanding our distribution pretty fast (DISH, Comcast, Adelphia and Cablevision).
However, we are just syndicating some programs like Futbol Total and A Todo Gol, and some Central / South America deals. In theory, there shouldn't be a whole SDD La Liga Match, just a compacted Futbol Total game.
It may have happened that there was an unannounced changed in our programming and that the planned slot for LTV syndication happened to be a complete SDD La Liga game. When did you see it?
Cheers,
