I have Starhub CableTV but no Sports package.. Although I will
be watching only very few matches, We subscribe it so that anytime
that I feel like watchin can watch
And also because they offer all matches Live, Last night.. I wanted
to watch Australia play Croatia instead of Brazil against Japan
because I know Japan sure out. But guess what? It's only shown on
Channel 22. In order to watch that match, I have to subscribe the
whole sports package for 3 months at the cost of $15.75 per month
which means a good $45
Add it with my WC coverage of $25, Thats a total of $70!

THEY SAY YOU CAN WATCH ALL 64 MATCHES LIVE! But I get 8 matches
DELAYED AND WHATS THE POINT OF WATCHING A GAME WHERE I KNOW HOW THE
GOAL AND WHEN THE GOAL WAS SCORED?
IS THERE ANYWHERE I CAN DEMAND COMPENSATION?!
