Check with Comcast and ask why one can only watch the Flyers on a Comcast SportsNet Channel.

The article states that "most sports events are not broadcast OTA anymore," or 
words to that effect. So my question is, assuming that these portables are indeed a big 
hit, would that not put pressure on the sports franchises to get their games on OTA TV? 
At least on the M/H channels of OTA?

And to prevent the knee-jerk reaction about subscriber fees, why wouldn't the 
advertizers themselves want this (and therefore pay for it), ASSUMING that 
mobile OTA TV becomes a hit?

Or is that too much of a vicious cycle?
