Anyone have any information on who is going to show this????????????????

See thread below re Australia v India on Satellite TV (US).

Sony TV (a subscription channel available via Sky Digital and possibly elsewhere) may be showing it and, if so, may offer a 1 or 2 month package (likely to cost £20 or £30 approx) rather than requiring a 12-month subscription.

If you've got Sony TV via Sky Digital (it's channel 802 or something similar) press info for the phone number and give them a ring to find out the latest.

Daym, I was hoping it was going to be on Sky Sports.

Annoying, isn't it, especially as Sky are going to show Australia v New Zealand - a far less appealing series in my view.

As mentioned in the other thread, they did pick up rights to Pakistan-India at the last minute, but it seems unlikely this time.

I think they picked them up there about a week before the First ODI - pushing it a bit to hope for them to grab them a day and a half before the First Test here!
They always show all Australian home series - they've got some contract with C9 - but aside from that (and the England games, obviously) it's a bit of a lottery what they show. Though they usually show home West Indies series.

Anyone know yet?

I am in US but others who are constantly in touch with SONY say that they are just waiting for the supreme court decision.

It seems supereme court has told Zee to lay off for a bit and money matters will be settled later.

So as of now, DD has India rights, Sony has int'l distribution rights, Ten sports to provide the feed.

I think SONY will do it in UK, we are stranded here in North America, coz the sat company most likely won't let SONY in US show cricket, or ask $200 for Pay-Per-View

..really really frustrating...it sucks

So does that mean that Dish Network will show it on pay per view or nobody is showing the matches here in North America?

I've just phoned Sony (08700 7669 248). Still waiting for confirmation - they're open until 11pm tonight.

Sehwag's post sounds encouraging though.

Just for you, NavUK, I've tried them again and they're "currently experiencing a high volume of calls, so please try again later".

As you mention above, you'd assume they'd want to give themselves time to get a decent number of subscriptions, but as far as I know the court case is still open so I guess they're still not in a position to confirm.

just spoke to the the people at setanta in haymarket London. (0207)930 8926

the ppv is £15 per match

Or book 6 matches (4 Ind-Aus, + 2 Ind-SA) for £60. They are not going to interfere with broadcasts - they will stream them as they get it from the producers in India.

You can book individual games usingthe sky remote as in Box office.

For all six games you need to call 08708 500 005

the call centre doesnot have details as yet - but will have it soon.

i would say not a bad deal if they will not have Ads in between like ARY or Sony!

Keep trying people... I wonder what the calls are about?

You'd think they'd stick a recorded message on...

Can't find any confirmation online or on the TeleWest TV Guide... and they've never covered Cricket before...

Sehwag's on the money I think, Neil. Sony have just told me that Setanta are showing it (channel 435 on Sky Digital, I think). From memory, I think they screened New Zealand v Pakistan earlier in the year.
