The *real* World Cup is on!

Mmmmmm.... rugby...

The Rugby World Cup started last week. I'm in heaven. An Irish company called Setanta Sports is carrying all the matches - plus a whole bunch of other rugby (union and league, but no word of sevens yet), soccer, Aussie footie, hurling (!), Gaelic football (!!) and other stuff. A must-have, at least for the four-month minimum subscription.

Adding the channel to my cable TV lineup was a foregone conclusion, although I had to convince the people at the Rogers call centre that since they were advertising the channel on air, they really *should* have it in their subscription system. It took about five tries, with five increasingly-baffled call centre employees, to finally add the channel to my account.

Now my only concern is that the tournament is in full flight just as all my regular must-watch programs are starting up for the fall season. Good thing I have two PVRs.
