Where to watch/download the World Championships 2006

[PHILIPeurobasket]

I have good info for all fans

DSF (german sports program) will show all 19 games (LIVE!) from World Championships 2006 in Japan.

First game Germany vs. Japan live on DSF on 19.08 at 5:55 AM

[elaj]

Slovenian TV (TV Slovenija 2) will also broadcast the games, but mostly games of our NT (at least I've heard something like that). This is the information for people from Austria, Croatia who can also get this TV channel.

If any other TV like DSF (which I can get from the satellite ) will broadcast the games during the World Championships 2006 in Japan, just say it here.

The Scandinavian-Baltic (Denmark-based) TV Viasat network will broadcast 60 out of 80 WC matches. It includes three channels Viasat Sport 2, Viasat Sport 3 and Viasat Xtra. It is usually a pay-tv, but many people in the Baltics get them (except Xtra) via cable contracts.

for more info check www.viasat.dk

Crotian television - HRT 2, will broadcast one game per day.

Combined with RTV SLO 2, DSF and RTS, Balkans will have pretty good coverage.

ESPN2 will be showing most of the US games, if not all of them. And I know if you subscribe to NBAtv, you'll get several non-USA WC games.

[Levenspiel]

Turkish NTV, as usual.
I'm sure they will broadcast as many games as the schedule allows.

Australia NONE
There won't be any on free TV only pay TV and it will be a delayed telecast. In addition, they will only show AUS NT games and only highlights.
How disappointing
Hence, any internet links?
Please it would really help this poor little Aussie who can't see his NT play in the sport's pinnacle tournament.
Cheers.
