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?

Dish Network gets a Basketball channel for the Olympics

. It's on 99 for me, in beautiful HD.

I have another problem with my directv. It has some show called "Today" from 7 til 10 in place of where the USA/Angola game should be.

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.

Dish Network > Direc TV and all the other satellite providers along with Cable

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

Yeah, that's why. But the Germany-Greece game isn't on TV anywhere anyways.

Yeah, I mean besides that channel, it's not on any national channel.
