Think I saw a commercial on star sports for the superbowl for 7am monday morning, sklife not regular cable package. Is this true, anyone know?

One of the Korean Cable sports channels usually shows it, either SBS Sports or KBS Sports. If you have Skylife, it should be on there somewhere between 500 and 515.

Yeah, you're right. Saw it myself 20 minutes ago. Skylife 506 (atleast that's where the ad was), but it will most likely also be on Korean ESPN, Skylife 505.

If it's on Star, that would be best because the commentary will be in English. I usually have to turn the sound off when I watch it on the Korean channels because it's too annoying. If that fails, I found the SBS Sports listings (Skylife 501):

According to that, SBS Sports will show it at 8am Monday. I hope it doesn't have to come that, though!

Yes, an 8am screening may be correct. Often they advertise Hong Kong times on Star Sport.

Star and EPSN are the same company, so it might just be advertising for showing the Superbowl on their ESPN channel and not star sports. I always see sportscenter commericals on star sports. But, it should be on somewhere in the early 500 channels.

Sorry to disappoint, but the Super Bowl won't be shown on Star Sports.

It will be shown on both SBS Sports and MBC/ESPN Sports, starting at 8:00am.
