I've had a similar problem DVRing them. My theory is that some of the games are also being aired on FSC and FSC+. Those channels are then blacked out in the 480s if you don't have FSC, as I do not. On a somewhat related note, Comcast Sportsnet aired the Chelsea champions league match live yesterday. Ah. . .that theory is possible and would make some sense. I don't have FSC or FSC+ either. Far better theory than anything I could come up with (I was wondering if for some reason 480-485 were DVRable but nothing higher -- which would be illogical, but still). Really? That's totally random. Suppose I'll have to check Comcast in the future for soccer (at least Champions League). I got an message from Directv saying there will be a free trial of FSC+ starting on Oct.2nd. Great! Thanks. I would not have even checked. Wonder how long the trial lasts? Might have preferred the FSC game of Aston-Tottenham, but nice opportunity to watch Dempsey. (And switch back-and-forth with the Man U-Sunderland game on ESPN2). And he scores!!! Great goal! Even with his face smashed. I think the trial runs through next Sunday, unfortunately next weekend is an international break so the number of games is really limited.
