Comcast does not own DirecTV.
If you somehow really believe that you are being played.

I just thought you might ALL LIKE TO KNOW, COMCAST OWNS DIRECT TV and to have them go public with having to call your DIRECT TV IS BULL, and if I am not mistaken, this is completely illegal advertising! Do your research, my family has made their phone calls to Comcast (owner) of Direct TV. WE ARE BEING PLAYED

It would be nice to know how the Directv dropping of Versus has affected their ratings? Why can’t I find the IRL overnight ratings for Saturday’s Montegi race????

Wish some network (wish I had one) that could “piggyback” this game like how CBS and NBC did the NFL Network NE-NYG game a couple years ago. I would think Mountain West would go for that. Just have a feed for the Direct TV viewers of that game.

It really would be nice if Universal Sports would stay permanent. Great channel. One strange thing though, I keep getting cycling events when I tune in.

BYU fans with DirecTv probably will not be too happy this weekend!

Direct TV added complimentary access to the Universal Sports Channel through the end of September, right next to the now empty Versus channel in their lineup. The parties seem to be playing hardball.
