I just discovered this channel on my cable system (Optimum NJ channel 110) Tons of triathalon coverage, and it repeats all the time.  Just thought I'd toss it out there.

What provider do you have?  I have Time Warner and I cannot find it.  Is it the same as SLEUTH?

I discovered this channel during September just flipping through and loved it!  Watched it whenever I could.  I got home last night and pulled up the guide to see what was playing and the channel is gone.  I thought maybe it just got moved (they seem to do that alot), but I couldn't find it anywhereFrown.  Really bummed.  I was looking forward to maybe seeing the Kona coverage - guess I won't be able to now.

BTW - we have DirecTV.  I don't know if it's just our area that dropped it or everywhere.

It WAS on directv for the month of Sept, and now they've pulled it.. isn't offered in any other package that I can see.. Was really enjoying the Tri coverage (saw IM China, Cour de alene, 07 and 08 Kona, etc)... ugh... need to see if I can get it some how..

Yep - DirectV pulled it.  First VS and now US.

Arg.  I am at least going to call them and chime in to make sure they knew I watched and want it back.

The only way I can get it now is by antenna - it is a subchannel to NBC (at least I hope I can get it.  I haven't tried yet).

I just got off the phone with Directv and pleaded with them to bring it back.  They said send emails to [email protected]  .... The other thing I did was go to the following page ...http://www.universalsports.com/EPG/tv.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=23000&SPID=13408

and in the upper right hand corner put in your zip code and your cable/satellite provider.  They have phone numbers to call and links to click to put pressure on your provider to carry US.

I tried to watch some stuff on their site today but all I got was a comercial for HP paper and ink followed by, 'this program is not available in your area'.  Sux.  But I do think I will buy som HP ink this weekend.
