His thought process is not that far off guys. The network center already has to monitor those games manually for the sports packages (turn off the MLBEI channel when the game ends so sports pack subs can see the postgame, and MLBEI only subs cant). Same with NBA and NHL. NFL is also heavily monitored.
It is not unrealistic to say they could tie the sports timers into this same authorization system methodology. I don't know if is is easy, but I'm sure it's possible.
