Don't know if anyone has noticed but on Directv tune to channel 242 and press the blue button on your remote. They have 6 mix channels and a scoreboard for all the days matches..this is awsome...

Tune to channel 680. You must have the sportspak channels to watch the matches. They have a screen with6 different courts

I definitely have Sports Pack with the regional channels, etc. I go to 680 and get nothing. This sucks.

Mentioned it in an earlier thread. Very nice feature for early rounds. Was watching it all day in the book.

Decided to reset the box. Has been acting VERY slowly lately. Will have to see if it does anything.

Do you get the regular mix channels?

Like channel 104 or 111..if not then you might have to download an update they released early this year that added these channels for free. I called Directv and they walked me through the update...jmo

I don't have DirectTV unfortunately. Was hoping the Open would have something similar to what Wimbledon had. They had Wimbledon LIVE where they would show matches online up to 9 courts so you could even watch your favorite players in doubles and you could download and watch matches at night too and up to 45 days after the event if you wanted it for capping purposes. Wish I had DirectTV though. That sounds pretty sweet especially given an unusual amount of real exciting matchups in the early rounds this year. Oh well, at least USA and CBS aren't as bad as the pathetic NBC and ESPN2 coverage.

Your right about the NBC coverage...on the middle saturday they delay the broadcast of games so you dont see them live.
