Do Americans get THE FIGHT NETWORK?

I just got the FIGHT Network and it's a great channel. The amount of great MMA, K-!, Kickboxing and Boxing fights are excellent. Every PPV they have a un bias breakdown and after the PPV's they have the press confrence. Probably the best channel i've seen in a long time. They also brodcast the elite EX shows live as well.

Do Americans have access or is it just a Canadian channel. i think it's just canadian, but I'm just curious.

I haven't seen it on any of my Channels here in TX.

No cable providers in the US carry it. From what I have heard as soon as Dish and DTV add all these HD channels it will be included in those packages.
"source".....I work for Time Warner

Oh that is so awesome! That will easily dethrone NFL network as my favorite channel.

Just keep rubbing it in ;-) I send a email to Dish Network weekly, complaining about not having the Fight Network here in the states. I am REALLY tired of the "real soon now" answer I have been getting for 5 months...

I told them if DirecTV gets it first, I am switching after 3 years with Dish.

I will get DirectTV or Dish Network just for that channel.

that's a great idea. i will start to do the same. just the idea of such a channel gives me goosebumps. i watch an awful lot of NFL channel {several hours of senior bowl/scouting combine today alone} but i would probably have it on for like 15-20 hours a day! {DVR RULES!!!}

If we did have it, it would be the only channel on half the time.
