...just wondering if this is "frustrating" to anyone else?

I have DirectTV, and when I checked for Boxing programs this afternoon, the Versus channel was apperently showing "LEGENDS OF THE RiNG", ...wrong, it was some Baseball program!
:nono

Then, according to the description for 8 PM( Pacific ), VS was showing Hasim Rahman vs Taurus Sykes, and Almazbek Raiymkulov in an NABF Lightweight *Bout, ...wrong, only the NABF Undercard fight was shown( 2 fights listed, 1 fight actually shown )!

If Rahman/ Sykes was NOT being shown that hour( whether or not it was a "good" fight ), then why was it in the description( I plan what I'm going to watch based on the program descriptions )?

Argghhh!
:twisted:

happens on tsn canada close to every time . what makes it worse is nascar is usually the culprit. i get the feeling they try to cross promote, which angers me. im going to send a hateful e-mail;its worked before.

wanna hear a story? last saturday hbo was not listed. neither on the site or on tv. it was however being televised. I wasted an hour looking for live streams and gave up. I thought nascar was on, but I accidently flicked on the tsn channel and found the replay of de leons knockout punch just at the end.

this happens everytime and its getting on my nerves. First I had to send an e0mail because they didnt show enough boxing, now they are showing more and im glad, but its kind of frustrating when you miss fights you really wanna see for free because a the listings arent right frequently.

ok Im done.

I just checked Versus.com to see what the problem is, apperently Rahman/ Sykes was to be shown @ 11 PM, ...wrong, it is that NABF fight AGAiN!
:(

...not only is the description misleading( listing 2 fights, but only showing 1 ...and it was the damn "Undercard" fight ), now Rahman/ Sykes is NOT showing @ 11 PM either!
:fire

THiS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!!

HERE WE GO AGAiN!!! :huh

According to the DirectTV "guide" for ESPN Classic( Pacific Time ), @ 5PM, there was supposed to be an older Arturo Gotti fight, then @ 6PM( now ) is supposed to be David Tua vs Ike Ibeabuchi from 1997, ...WRONG, it's that Nascar Nextel Cup Series( A BUCH OF CARS GOiNG iN CiRCLES ...*YAWN )!
:nono

...GET iT RiGHT!!!
