Was constantly checking Dishcricket web site and they just posted that

P.S. free preview in on Channel 576 till October 3rd.

Re: Zee Sports America

so it is Dish's answer to Direct's Cricket Plus :)

Re: Zee Sports America

from what I've seen here in Canada, there may be three or four channels claiming to be "the" source for Cricket matches... but for the big tournaments, the service providers will still opt for PPV. Besides, each series may still be broadcast on different channels.

I've learnt to live with switching between various desi channels which get broadcast rights for different series - and then cancel the channels as soon as the series is over. It's definitely a hassle, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Re: Zee Sports America

Is ASN channel showing any of the two series ?

That is the only channel I can afford.:)

Re: Zee Sports America

spend some money. ;) stop being free loader. There are many websites that webcast these games.

Re: Zee Sports America

Not everybody owns ORCL stock-options...and ORCL is up >30% this year .

Hum to gareeb aadmi hain, free link pe gujara karna padta hai.

Re: Zee Sports America

They are showing the first match free. The channel will be free till Sept. 29th than you will have to subscribe it.

Seems like this something like cricketplus.

I saw Pak vs India, Pak vs SL and Eng vs Aus (1977) match on zee sports.

Re: Zee Sports America

Stupid Dishnetwork.. they are only offering this channel to the people in the East. The people in the West miss out (148 degrees).

Re: Zee Sports America

For west coast, it's on 119° satellite.

Re: Zee Sports America

No way you can compare it with cricket plus. Zee sports America are going to show alot of live matches whereas cricketplus does npt show any live matches at all.

Some 1, Right now zee sports America is showing both India/Australia and Pakistan/South Africa.

Re: Zee Sports America

If one has paid a lum sum amount for dishnetwork and doesn't pay for it on a monthly basis will the zee sports still be availabe post oct. 3?

(Just a hypothetical question)

Re: Zee Sports America

No, you paid the lum sum amount for a package which did not include Zee Sports, so it will not be there after Oct. 3rd.

Z Sports on Dish Network (Channel 576)

Has anyone been watching this channel? They have been showing live SA/Pakistan Test matches and some old matches as well.

Anyone know how much the channel costs?

Re: Z Sports on Dish Network (Channel 576)

Its free until today only. :D
I watched 2 of India vs AUS ODI and part of Pak vs SA test here.

Re: Z Sports on Dish Network (Channel 576)

I know its free now and I have been watching it too but how much will it be once its done with the free preview?

Re: Z Sports on Dish Network (Channel 576)

I believe it is $149.99 for a year's subscription

Re: Z Sports on Dish Network (Channel 576)

Yes, most of us have. Not only Pak-Saafies series but also India-Australia. They were also showing recording of 1st ODI between Srilanka and england. If there is no time clash they will be showing all these matches live, otherwise Ind-Australia.

If I am not mistaken it will be for $19.99 starting from tomorrow.

By the way, I merged your thread with an already existing one.

Re: Zee Sports America

If you are not paying monthly, you don't have dish network-not by legal means anyway. Who did you pay the lump sum amoun to? A local guy who unscrambled the signals for you? You will probbaly get Zee Sports free with everything else that you get free. ;)

Re: Z Sports on Dish Network (Channel 576)

Yeah I noticed
