Question about cable tv and world cup

Does anybody know exactly what channel on cable tv the world cup is on?

I contacted cable and they said it was on channels 61-64. Does this mean in order to watch it I have to order all 4 channels? I tried asking but their English wasn't very good, so I had trouble communicating with them.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks x

Channels 61-64 are as follows:
61 Super Soccer Channel
62 Cable Sports
63 EPL Channel
64 Soccer Betting Channel

According to the Cabble TV Customer Service pages here: http://www.cabletv.com.hk/cs_si_main.htm
All of these channels are included in the basic package, so if you have Cable TV you have these channels.

My guess is that the games themselves will be spread across 61 & 63 primarily.

(Of course you may have some special deal which has a lesser number of channels in the "Basic Package", in which case you'll need to get a price from them for adding the channels.)

Just a reminder during the World Cup Period
Ch 63 will renamed as WORLD CUP CHANNEL, will telecast all the live action, as well as rerun of all matches of the previous MATCH day.
& I believe there'll be English commentary DURING THE MATCH....on NICAM.
and dont bother to watch CH64,they only have local commentators that focus fully on the betting side of all matches!!
