Where is the NBC Olympics Basketball TV Channel? I can't find it on my Directtv system!!
Wasn't there supposed to be a channel solely devoted to basketball? Right now I am watching Lithuania-Iran online, but I can't find this game on Directtv
Can anyone help me?

What channel are you checking? It's on USA Network for the USA/Angola game, not NBC.

This is the NBC morning news show. In the US the USA/Angola game will be on the USA Network.

For DirecTV, the Basketball channel is on 754. However you need HD to be able to see it.

You will only get it if you have HD with satellite 129, so check to see if you do.
