D* & European Channels?

[jammy]

Does anyone know if it is part of the D* 'Grand Plan' to provide live access to European channels?

I know that on Fox Soccer Channel (FSC) they show a British sports program (Sky Sports News) that is recorded from Britain one hour before it is broadcast on FSC. They also broadcast live soccer from England. So obviously there is a way to get European broadcasts in America.

But perhaps access to these programs is only for other satellite providers and not for the general public.

I would happily pay to get live European programming (news, sports, etc.), even taking into account the time difference - TiVo would really come into its own then!!!

Directv dosen't release plans for upcoming broadcast channels until they have a start date. With News Corp. international connection European programming could be a possibility.

Yes they "claimed" that Sky News International was on the cards but we are still waiting!
