Re: [TV orNotTV] TV South of the Equator

In the UK we tend to get US sports in their original network form on whichever channel has the rights. So NFL is mostly on Sky Sports where they show three games back to back on Sunday (with Redzone also available), and a lovely mix of Fox, CBS and NBC logos and bugs mixed in with Sky Sports' own

Re: [TV orNotTV] TV South of the Equator

IIRC, there's an "ESPN America" channel that has a number of rights packages for US sports internationally. What you likely saw was that channel simply picking up the NBC feed and slapping a bug in the corner. This also happens in the US: the CFL package on ESPN now just takes the TSN feed,

Re: [TV orNotTV] TV South of the Equator

This tracks with my cruise ship experience - the feeds available on Royal Caribbean and NCL appear to be ESPN's Caribbean feed; it's branded as simply "ESPN", but unsurprisingly there's a larger focus on footie, and they're pushing the ESPN Play app (the localized version of WatchESPN/ESPN3).

New keyboards cost about $15-$25 for a decent model. Any sort of adaptor cable or plug could be found at a Fry's Electronics (Radio Shack doesn't seem to be the go-to source for cables since they emerged from bankruptcy) or CDW (

Re: [TV orNotTV] TV South of the Equator

Although in the UK, the ESPN channel actually appears as "BT Sport ESPN" - to drive home the fact that it's part of the relatively new BT Sport TV package. In fact, because I have HD, the bug actually is a really ungainly "BT Sport ESPN HD" which takes up as much real estate as you might imagine,
