No they haven't yet. That's an old page. The only confirmed NFL rights so far are Five showing SNF. The next announcement is due the beginning of next week.

Hey i like this bit from the article
"Living is consolidating its position at the front of the pay TV pack. With HD also launching later in 2009, Living Player is yet another example of the way VMtv is embracing the brave new world of brilliant brands across every screen."

With what hd launching later in 2009? Is it the other that they have set the players up for eg bravo and virgin 1 or 4hd and the itv content ?

Wow! I'm surprised to see more new analogue services being launched in Europe.

<OT> I am thinking of putting together a setup to receive some of the European satellite services both analogue and digital. Does anyone know whether there are dual analogue/digital STBs and LNBs for this purpose? I have acquired a Nokia DVB-9500S but don't know if it will work with a Sky Mini Dish (52cm x 49cm) and Quad LNB. </OT>

I note that this link is no longer valid. However if you go the NFLUK website the Fantasy Football game has a Sky logo with 2009/10 on it. It looks like Sky may have some coverage. Looking at the Google cache for that page the IMG was not part of the source file on the 20th August

[OT] Having read various pages and cached pages Sky originally were after sponsorship to cover 3 live games on a Sunday plus the red button games but the broken mediaboy link talks about sponsorship to cover 2 live games plus red button games so maybe it will be live games on Sky in the evening and then on 5 for Sunday Night Football (and possibly ESPN for Monday Night Football) Sorry for going off topic [/OT]
