Do they televise the Six Nations Rugby Tournament in the US?

Question

I've been checking the TV listings and I can't seem to find any channels that are showing this tournament. I know that there's a match between Ireland and Italy at 9:00am Eastern time on Saturday, Feb 2nd.

Answer 1

I do not think it is on a cable channel, but you can go to www.mediazone.com if you do not mind paying a little for it.

Answer 2

Setanta Sports owns the TV rights to the Six Nations in the U.S.

1. Setanta makes the Six Nations available to pubs in the U.S., who generally charge around $20 to watch a day's matches.  There's a "location finder" on Setanta's website.

2. The Setanta Sports Channel, available on DirecTV and Dish Network, show the Six Nations on a tape-delay basis.

3. Six Nations matches are available live on Setanta's broadband service.  If you purchase an annual subscription for $150, all Six Nations matches are included at no additional charge.

Also, steams of Six Nations matches can be found on peer-to-peer applications such as Sopcast and TVU Player.  The MyP2P website is a good resource for information on software and programming links.  Links to MyP2P's "other sports" listings (which includes Six Nations), and their Rugby Forum are attached.

Enjoy!
