Cricket World Cup on DirecTV?

March 3, 2011 7:17 AM

Is it possible to view the Cricket World Cup on DirecTV without subscribing to WillowTV or DirecTV's Cricket Ticket? Is ESPN or some other sports network showing the games?

Our office has a directv installation, of which I control the feed out to all the tv's in our buildings. Each tv can only receive what the receiver is tuned to. We don't really have any control over purchasing pay per view or anything like that, so this prompts my question. How can we get the Cricket World Cup on DirecTV without an additional subscription?

Best answer: You're out of luck, I'm afraid. WillowTV has exclusive US rights, and their deal with DirecTV locks it into the $149 package. (There are other ways of watching the matches, but not through DirecTV, and not through official channels.)
