2008/09 Arsenal on T.V. - U.S. Only

Does anyone on here live in Austin? I am in the states for 3 months as of 2 weeks tomorrow. I will be in Austin for the Fulham game and wondered if anyone wants to hook up for a pint of beer and to watch the game. Let me know!

 

MIXMASTERMATT!!!! Holy Crap!

 

I'm not in Austin, but I know there are some gunners up there who hit the pub. I believe they go to Fados. Are you in Austin the whole time? If so, PM me when you get to Austin as I get up that way from time to time.

yah, it is tough with those early morning matches. A lot of times I put them on TIVO, sleep an extra 15 minutes, then skip through halftime, watching 90 minutes straight. Then have a nice breakfast and take a mid-morning nap. Thankfully part of the year Arizona in on Mountain time, so I get an hour back during that period.

 

OMFG Jesus H Christ on a raft!!!!!!!! As of today GolTV is no longer available on DishNetwork!! They are showing Fox Sports en Espanol on that channel now. I never heard any rumours about this. I'm screwed for the weekend!!!!!!

O Noes, indeed!

 

My guide doesn't show the game on GolTV tomorrow. It's definitely on there?

 

It's a dispute over payments between the two companies. Their customer service is ridiculous, I explained my displeasure about this very clearly to their rep, who paused and then replied, "a technician was supposed to visit you today?" I just hung up. Looks like they lost a customer come spring next year when my contract ends.

 

Sorry to hear about that. That's some real bs, glad I don't have Dish anymore.

 

For the first time in history, I'm glad I have comcast (at least back in MD).

 

Me too, my sports package which includes FSC and Gol is $1.99 for a year.

 

My cable gets GolTV but only in Spanish, i guess i'll be watching en espanol tomorrow.

 

A year???

 

Yep. I got every possible discount, just kept asking them, and I always ckeck their sites to see what promotion is going on, i'm slowly learning how not to get ripped off. All you gotta do with Cable companies is just ask. If you don't ask they won't tell you.

 

That's smart. Good for you.

 

I got stiffed by Comcast on the MLS Direct Kick package this year. It's supposed to be in the neighborhood of $70 but when I signed up the Comcast guy said because I was calling before the season started I was getting an early bird special for 1/2 price. I had no problems paying the full price but was pretty happy to get that deal.

I paid what I thought was the only installment due and then got billed again the next month. I called Comcast to find out why I had been double billed only to be told that there was no early bird special. They essentially blamed the whole episode on a rogue employee.

 

same with my guide, although the goltv schedule online says they are showing both games. i'm going to get up for the hamburg-real game and see if that's on tomorrow morning (hopefully it is). if it isn't, that would suck, but hopefully there will be a decent stream on the internet

 

Don't worry it'll be on Gol TV, they tend to wait till the last minute to update their schedule.

 

Unless you're on DishNetwork. %@#$#@($@$@!!!!!!!!!!!

 

you're right. they are showing both games.

 

yah. usual dish network garbage. they dump goltv without warning the day I really need it. they have a habit of botching channels just when you want to be watching them. so no Emirates Cup for any of us with dish network apparently. not a happy camper here.

 

I e-mailed them about the notification thing and just got a copy/paste thing. I'll be doing research as to other companies offering.

 

Both games in the Amsterdam tournament will be on espn360

 

Any word (or thoughts) on the CL Qualifier being on TV over here? What was the deal last year?

 

Epi,
This is a great idea. TV schedules and (mostly illegal) online feeds are two different subjects. I'd prefer to just see TV listings and discussion on this thread.
