    Yet two more soccer channels launch today at 4:30pm PDT: beIN Sport USA and beIN Sport en Español, with the former now the new TV broadcasting home of announcers Phil Schoen and Ray Hudson. :)

    For DirecTV subscribers with the Sports Pack, beIN Sport USA will be on channel 620 (in both SD and HD) with GolTV moved to channel 627 (in both SD and HD), while those with the Spanish-language package will have beIN Sport en Español on channel 426 (in SD only) with GolTV moved to channel 456 (in both SD and HD).

    GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! :cool:

    Word has it that Terri Leigh (who was a co-anchor on FOX Soccer's Fox Soccer Report from 2008 to 2010) will join the channel within the next few weeks. :)

    So GolTV lost Hudson? I figured this was a replacement for GolTV, but instead its a new channel? Is it the Al-JAzeera soccer/sports channel? (the one that won rights to La Liga?)

    Both Hudson and Schoen, apparently back in May or June. :eek:

    That's why the announcing of recent GolTV games such as the Brazil-Argentina friendly, the U.S. Open Cup final and today's Brazil-Sweden friendly sounded so different.


    It's indeed a new channel.

    There's a rumor that GolTV may cease at the end of this month. :( Hopefully it's not true.


    It is.

    that wasn't the issue... the issue is we own a tivo premiere with lifetime service and it only works on comcast, it doesn't work on directv. I had to convince her to give that up.

    the directv tivo you speak of is a different product (and it was inferior as soon as it came out)... it doesn't have whole-home dvr option (ie I can pause upstairs and go watch same program downstairs while I'm cooking dinner).

    tivo sucks and comcast really sucks!

    I'm trying to figure out who will be airing the Serie A matches? I know FSC dropped them as did the Italian RAI TV network....

    Are you referring to Phil Schoen and Ray Hudson, particularly about the following broadcast from several years ago? :D

    I'm not sure, though I know that beIN Sport USA was added to the DirecTV Sport Pack which I was paying for anyway, so for me it just ended up as a "free" added channel.

    I'd imagine that it'll be similar with Comcast, hopefully sooner rather than later.


    That's unfortunately happened way too many times. :eek:

    According to the beIN website, it's only available on DirecTV and Dish so far.

    the real question is will comcast add the HD version of BeIN or the SD version? I would bet it's the SD version.

    Did Ray Hudson go back to his pool cleaning business?

    I'm not sure, but if he did, he certainly didn't clean Phil Schoen's pool after that broadcast. :eek:

    Is there still a realistic chance that Comcast will add the channel before the U.S.'s visit to Jamaica on Friday, September 7th? :confused:

    No kidding! :eek:

    A high price was charged for the U.S.-Guatemala game for very poor coverage. :(
