Re: Ary Digital
bhaioo kyon apnee hopes high kar rhay ho. I have told you that ARY will not be showing cricket in USA. I have dish and ARY for the past 2 years. During this period I have spent hundreds of dollars on PPV although ARY was showing those matches in other parts of the world. Dish network has exclusive rights of all Pakistani homes games till 2008. Rest of matches will either be shown jointly by Direct TV and Dish or exclusively by any one of these 2.
As far as Direct TV is concerned, yes their packages are slightly cheaper but still epxensive. But then if you have direct Tv its just like having a regular cable TV except that it is showing cricket. With Dish you have all kinds of desi channels both pakistani and indian whereas Direct Tv offer highly crappy international channel. Another factor is that Direct TV is not offering alot of Pakistani circket, whereas dish has rights of almost all the pakistani cricket and they know there is a huge market in USA for Pakistani cricket who can purchase cricket at any price.
If by chance Direct TV is showing pakistan matches which Dish is not, I'll ratherbuy it it online on Willow tV and will connect my laptop to my TV, for eg. Pak Windies series in May.
