How do you watch Universal Sports live? You buy a subscription?

It's obviously geo-blocked to US but there's VPN services out there so it's always an option.

It's a struggle even in the US, since it is only on the satellite providers, Dish & Direct TV, are the only ones that have US Sports.

Yeah it's ridiculous most cable companies don't even carry Universal Sports so you can't access their live stream either. And who wants to get the Dish or Direct TV just for one channel. Thank goodness the Icenetwork will be showing all the major skating competitions starting next season.

Will Icenetwork have 4cc this season? Either live or on-demand?

[dorispulaski]

They haven't said. Last year they allowed you to purchase streaming for 4CCs as an extra to your subscription. The notice went up quite close to the event, just before it started, AFAIR.

As I read the announcement about Icenetwork and NBC - the ISU stuff doesn't kick in until the 2017 season. I think it's still Universal next year for Grand Prix (except Skate America), 4CCs, Europeans, and Worlds. I'm sure NBC will show some of it through their arrangements with Universal.

That doesn't make sense. The agreement runs through the 2017-18 season so why would they not show the GP, Worlds or 4CC until 2017? That doesn't sound right.

There are a couple of other providers but they are very small.

No Ice Dance at all and no Ladies SP. And Pairs FS only the final group not live. :(

So if we want to watch Ladies SP, Fuji TV will the the only option.

British Eurosport from what it seems has quite good coverage. If you can find a site that streams British Eurosport-2 you'll be able to watch four continents
http://www.frombar.tv/ is a website where for 99.9999% of the time, there is a link to British Eurosport 2

Have a look for yourself

(All British Time/GMT time)
8am Pairs SP (Live) 105mins
9:45am Ice Dance SD (taped) 105mins
11:30 Mens SP (Live) 150mins

*(considering that there are only 8 pairs teams and 13 ice dance teams, there will probably be time to show more of the mens.)

On the 9th Feb
(All British Time/GMT time)
10:00 Mens FS (Live) 270mins
14:30 Ladies' SP (taped) 60mins

*(They have allocated alot of time for the Mens FP and there are only 24 men in the field. They may broadcast more of the Ladies SP.)

On the 10th Feb
(All British Time/GMT time)
8am Ladies FS (Live) 210 Mins
11:30am Pairs FS (taped) 45 mins
12:15pm Ice Dance FD (Live) 165mins

*(I know only 45 mins for Pairs but there are only 8 teams from Canada, China and the US and from that only half the pairs field is really strong).

On the 11th Feb
(All British Time/GMT time)
7am Gala (Live) 150mins

Replays on 12th Feb at 6am (120mins) and 14th Feb at 11pm (120mins)

I hope this helps. Happy watching :D

Thanks a lot! Hopefully Frombar will work during 4CC.

Will Universal Sports show everything live online?
