I decided to check if I could get espnu on Directv with all the talk about Comcast and waalaa there it was. I did not know this, thought I would share the news if not already known. * I just have the regular package, not the upgraded sports package.
The funny thing is about a month or two ago I heard this rumor. So, I decided to check with directv about it. I sent them an e-mail asking about it and the replied that they had no plans to include espnu in their basic package.
A few weeks later there it is...part of the basic package. I am extremely pleased by this.
