Are La Liga's television rights contracts finalised?

At the start of the season i know there were something about new contract negotiations for La Liga but i remember reading somewhere that they are finalised now, so are they?

Reason i'm asking is because the pay-tv is South Africa (Supersport) is running in circle with us telling us that they are still in negotiations for Tv rights and they say they (negotiations) are taking time. I know that last seasons they were buying from Skysports, so is Skysports showing any La Liga matches at present? And who is the main holder of La Liga tv rights?

Out of curiousity, what are the channels that are showing La Liga games in Europe and do they show most matches or just one game a day like Skysports was doing last season? If they are pay-tv, how much are they costing?

The only part of the rights that are not finalised is the issue of Sevilla that refuses to allow tv at their games (since the initial offer given them was later reduced, and because Sevilla feels that they are entitled to more due to their recent success).

I think the issue in South Africa might be internal negotiations between Supersport and Sky..

In Spain many of the games are PPV but people tend to go to bars or watch it on the net:

I would suggest you use the links and then catch the big games in a bar or something.. (I have no clue how much you would have to pay for the games in South Africa).
