Universal Sports

I was just looking for one thing and discovered something else! Right now on Universal sports is a one hour special on WEG Normandy. I scanned ahead, and later on today, there are several 1/2 hour probably on each sport. Watch or tape if you can!

Larksmom, is that the full name of the channel? I don’t see any Universal Sports in my channel lineup (DIRECTV). Sometimes finding horse stuff in search isn’t easy - but I might try that as well :slight_smile:

I think it is in thew NBC line up. In fact, I only have it sporadically myself. I shows up occasionally. I may need to sign up for it, to be sure. Is there a place where you can search what channels are available on Direct tv? I have Dish. I was looking for FOX Sports 1 because I got an email telling me they would be covering the Jockey Gold Cup! I thought it would be near the racing channels. Not so but Universal sports is! Sorry, I can’t be of more help.

I think it’s NBC Universal, and it’s a paid channel. I don’t know if it costs extra on all cable providers, but on mine it is.

JanM, thanks!

I’ll have to look. I pay for the ‘sports’ package with DIRECTV and get all kinds of esoteric channels and I think this might be one of them…

I’ve seen horse racing from England and France as well as nice road bicycle racing through beIN sports… :slight_smile:

dang I wish I had seen this thread earlier…

There’s lots more to come! More SJ from Sweden I think on now, and several 1/2 hour eppies later on today, then at 3 am, and on and on. I haven’t checked out as far as I can go, but I would ASSUME these are vignettes of the sports involved, for the uninitiated.
Very Exciting!

Found their website!

Sent them an inquiry to see if they were going to broadcast anything. I’d have to increase my cable package to include this network, and sure don’t want to do it if nothing will be shown in my area.

Rt66-I thought I posted here, but maybe not. I got a hold of the Dish, and can get it for $11 more, and I only have to keep it for one month. I don’t want or need it otherwise. Good luck to you. We were so spoiled 4 years ago!

According to their month long schedule, they’re not broadcasting anything from WEG.

Snoopy, where can I find that list? I looked over their entire site, and went to thew NBC Olympic site and nothing. I also looked fir some way to contact them. Again, crickets. How can a network have no way to let people contact them?

Universal Sports Network is an NBC product that is on some cable packages. I have it on my Dish package. It very well might have some WEG as it has a bunch of equestrian stuff. Here is the website: http://universalsports.com/schedule/ There is a link to fei.tv there as well.

Universal HD: this is a movie / sports channel. I’m not sure if this channel has any equestrian stuff at all.

It would seem easy to get these two mixed up due to the similar names, but they are different channels.

jvk thank you. I saw the link before, but I just now went there, and I think I will be able to get it and probably keep it just for the one month. I would love to subscribe for a year, but I just can’t do that. I still have no satisfaction from Universal Sports. They are very hard to get a hold of. I just want to know if they will be covering it at all.
