View Full Version : La Liga on TV
Sevillista 09-02-2004, 07:45:AM First off, I apologize to anybody who thought I had news about la liga on tv.
I'm sure you guys get this question a lot but I'd really appreciate any info. I'm in Minnesota, USA and I desperately want to see some matches from La Liga. Is there ANY way that I can watch them? I've got digital cable and the closest thing that I can find is a subscription to Fox Sports World which appears to only have English and German soccer.
I'm on my knees begging...
QuikZilver 09-02-2004, 07:51:AM Does your digital cable provider have a latino package plan? If so you better hope its not comcast otherwise you will have to get Dish Network.
manutd4eva 09-02-2004, 07:54:AM If you could get espn latin america you would be good to go:)
asesino 09-02-2004, 08:03:AM Dish Network is what you're looking for
Sevillista 09-02-2004, 08:04:AM Well I doubt I can convince my parents to switch on the grounds that I want to watch Spanish soccer.
mufc_daddy 09-02-2004, 08:26:AM I have La Liga on ESPN.
Every other channel says that ESPN are the only ones who have the license to show match highlights of La Liga.
Sevillista 09-02-2004, 08:32:AM YOU DO??? When is it on?
asesino 09-02-2004, 08:46:AM Nobody gets La Liga unless they have Dish Network. Why? because GolTV has the U.S tv rights
Sevillista 09-02-2004, 09:12:AM and I suppose you can only get GolTV with a dish?
asesino 09-02-2004, 09:18:AM yes and I forgot what digital cable provider also carry it.
But I will say this if you're a soccer fan living the U.S, Dish Network is what you should get, With GolTv you get La Liga and Serie A, plus on top of that you get Fox Sports World
Get Goltv with dish network
you get italian and La Liga;)

HAHA
Yeah you're right :D :p :D
Zidane420 09-02-2004, 10:00:AM Yeah, well Roma 4-0 Juve didn't sound like to bad of a game to watch.
Anyways, does Gol TV only have rights for La Liga for the rest of the season or do they have it for a few more years cause I don't want to get dish just for gol tv and then find out next season its on some other channel on digital cable.
Kakarotto 09-02-2004, 10:04:AM I live in Canada so theres no soccer on TV here at all .:crazyboy:

I hope they have it for next year also, the only network that can take it from them is ESPN, for ESPN Deportes, but I'm not worried about them taking it since Dish Network will have that channel soon. But La Liga needs to be on GolTV though, they also have Real Madrid TV, if it went to ESPN Deportes we would be stuck watching maybe just a few games a week since ESPN shows all sports not just soccer and with GolTV they show nothing but soccer so theres a better chance of getting more games.

SB9Dragon 10-02-2004, 07:08:AM Comcast Cable freakin sucks.....
Though some of my friends (who don't have satellite) says that Satillite sucks because it has poor reception when it rains... is this true??

claupastore 10-02-2004, 09:50:AM yeah only like theres huge amounts of rain and clouds it makes a little difference but nothing big.
but if its a storm then yeah it sucks
Zidane420 10-02-2004, 09:52:AM about the Uefa.action video showing Euro 2004 games:
Video archive
"Subscribers can also browse the extensive uefa.com action archive, which allows them to call up and view up to 3,000 clips of classic action from Europe's leading club competition. uefa.com action also offers UEFA Cup highlights*** AND COVERAGE OF KEY UEFA EVENTS AND COMPETITION.*** Matchday audio subscribers can listen to audio commentaries from the top matches and, in a further extension of uefa.com's multilingual service, selected commentaries as well as voiced-over highlights are available in French, Italian, German and Spanish."
Hopefully that means they will show the Euro games and atleast they will definentely have highlights of the games.
