soccer on TV?

With the season starting soon, I want to get a soccer channel. I don't know much of my options, but I mainly want to watch Serie A and in particular Inter Milan matches. I have mediacom and when I look at their sports pack, it has GolTv which it claims is the exclusive broadcaster of Serie A. Whenever I browse the channels though, I see Inter matches on Fox Soccer Channel (based on the description), so when I went to the FSC website it said that they were the exclusive broadcaster of Serie A.

So basically, I want to watch Inter/Serie A. What channel should I get?

Gol TV used to be.

Fox Soccer Channel has the Serie A contract for last year and this year. If you have ESPN360, they also show Italian games

AFAIK......

FSC currently owns rights to EPL (England), Serie A (Italy), Argentine league, UEFA Cup, and 2nd choice MLS games.

GolTv currently owns rights to La Liga (Spain), Bundesliga (Germany), and a couple other Central/South American leagues.

ESPN currently owns rights to UEFA Champions League, and 1st choice MLS games (usually on Thursday night), and usually 1st choice FIFA (international) matches.

I know Sentana has some EPL and/or UEFA (CL or Cup???) games, but I'm not sure.

Dola....

The confusion may lie in the fact that IIRC, Serie A and Budesliga swapped between FSC and GolTV last year.

Only ESPN360 via partnership with SerieA.TV

Just FYI, Dish Network has dropped GolTV. I am thinking of switching to DirecTV anyway, I just got to make sure I am not in a contract.
