Able to watch world cup?

I watched Italy-Paraguay over 4G and the quality was very, very good.

The only game I couldn't get was one that was on ABC last Sunday.
 
Well, I just spoke to the 3rd person at Sprint about this and it seems I was given incorrect information from the last 2 Sprint reps I spoke with. So, NO, the Sprint TV Premium Channels ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE $10 PREMIUM DATA CHARGE FOR THE EVO. It will still cost $9.99/month. Sorry for all the bad info, but don't shoot the messenger.:p

I got a different answer. I didn't question her further since I'm busy this afternoon.

I take back every nice thing I said about sprint TV. At the start of the world cup I was able to watch and listen to the game non-stop on a poor 3G connection here at work. At that time the picture was small (bars all around). Now I am trying to watch the US game on the same 3G signal at work and surprise, the picture is full screen (bars only on sides) and I can't get it to work for more then 3 min at a time. I've actually managed to watch bits and pieces between all 3 goals lol. What a waste. Anyone else notice this?

Edit: WOOOOO! Got to see the 2 min where the US scored then... frozen again. Give me poor picture again as long as I get to see the game.
