Okay, I think I'm finally ready to make the jump to VOOM, but I'm having a hard time finding any information at all on Sports Programming or future sports programming. I desperately want HD Content for my TV, and I'm convinced that VOOM is the best place to go to get it. The current deals are just too good to pass up.
After reading these forums, I'm assuming that ESPN is pretty much a done deal and VOOM will have it sooner rather than later. I can live without ESPN for a while, so that's ok (the only channel they don't have that I watch now is TechTV, and that's not a huge loss).
Ok, but beyond that are there any plans for VOOM to get stuff like the NBA League Pass or MLB Extra Innings? Honestly, I'm most concerned about the NBA. I can get all my Bears games on ESPN and the Local FOX, CBS, and ABC stations. However, I don't see how it will be possible for me to watch the Bulls games at all with VOOM (yes I know the Bulls suck, but I'm a hopeless fan).
Does anyone know what the chances are of VOOM carrying the new Comcast Sports Chicago Network launching this fall? Or perhaps the chances of them getting the national WGN channel (it covers a few Bulls games). I know I can't get a definite answer on any of this, but I'm just looking for more of a general consensus. This is really the only issue I have left to resolve in my mind before I pick up the phone and order.
This forum has been wonderful for answering all of my questions so far. You guys seem very nice, and it's been a pleasure reading all of the information about VOOM.
