TV Coverage of the World Cup in Europe

First of all, thanks for the usefull posts Gurj.

ITALY Sky Sport 1 (pay tv channel) will broadcast all the games (some live and some tape delayed)

That's what was announced months ago, but for 30 and 31 August the only game scheduled at the moment is Finland-Czech Rep. on 31st (one day delay), no tracks of Germany-Sweden and of Canada-Usa, so i'm starting to fear they won't show all the games as expected.
Which is your source?

No worries!


I just think this type of tournament should be made as accessable as possible. They (the NHLPA and NHL) should be literally giving the rights away in developing hockey countries so this event is exposed.

Anyways, my source on the Italian TV info is another poster on another forum I am a part of...you can see the post here.

is it possible to receive viasat sport1 in germany ?

Not to my knowledge, I think it has to do with so called TV-rights.
