nope - there was a lot of confusion if directv had exclusive rights - from what I could tell is that directv bid the right, but on-demand is still licensed to provide it to their cable affiliates

if you have cable, go to your guide and search in the upper stations where they typically have the sports packages - i remember when I had comcast digital they were typically in the low 200s
