LIVE: Serie A on ESPN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serie A is back on UK television screens this season, as ESPN will show up to three live games per week as well as the Italian Super Cup. The newly-launched channel is already transmitting the Italian Super Cup clash between Inter and Lazio on August 8 from 13.00 UK time.
It has now been confirmed that ESPN have an exclusive TV rights deal to broadcast live Serie A games in 2009-10. Their coverage begins with Siena-Milan on August 22, then reigning Scudetto holders Inter welcome Bari on August 23. "We're very pleased to be able to broadcast the Italian Serie A,” said ESPN EMEA Vice-President Jeroen Oerlemans.
“As one of the best leagues in the world, the live coverage will sit nicely with our Barclays Premier League, Clydesdale Bank Premier League and Bundesliga matches, making the channel the number one stop for football fans around the UK in SD and HD."
ESPN is available in standard and high definition on Sky and Virgin Media, while the standard definition channel can also be accessed through Top Up TV and BT Vision

Unlike FIVE the previus broadcaster of Serie A in the UK, it's a subscription channel though (9 or 12 quid a month via Sky).

£9 a month if you have Sky Sports and £12 if you don't.
Also has games from Russian, Portuguese and Dutch leagues + MLS

Let's have James Richardson back too but not that irritating Italian girl who was on Five - just to stand there and say 'Ro-ma, U-no' .

If you catch the advert for the channel just press the red button.
Otherwise, assuming you've got sky sports. Go to sky sports 1..press the red button. You'll probably get the Ashes interactive stuff. When its loaded the banner thing will come on the screen, press blue for sky active..the option to get ESPN should come up on the right hand side of the screen.
