BlizzCon on DirecTv and Internet Streaming

If you are already a DirecTv customer, you can visit BlizzCon October 22-23 on your television set via Pay Per View.  The cost is $29.95 plus extra charges if you call in the order via the phone or via a live operator on the phone.  You may order this between October 9 and October 22.  Note that if you aren't a DirecTv customer, they will give you BlizzCon Pay For View at no charge to sign up for the service.

Here's the Internet Streaming order information.  The site above says if you sign up for the DirecTv Pay Per View, you automatically get access to the Internet streaming videos.  A few more details here.

Hopefully once October 9 rolls around there will be more details about this service.  Last year information was scarce, especially if you signed up via the DirecTv site. I did find this site which may be where the four channels of streaming videos will happen.  It seems to be where folks who aren't DirecTv customers order just the streaming videos of BlizzCon.

Blizzcon Virtual Tickets for Sale

When the video starts playing and says  it "is coming with all its glory--and all its horror" I don't think they meant the online streaming video of Bizzcon October 22-23, but that is what this link advertises.  A virtual ticket to the show will cost just under $40.

When I clicked on the FAQ link, the fine print seems to say that online viewers can look at four channels (two tournaments, the main stage programs and stage two programs) while DirecTV subscribers will just get one channel for the same price.  But don't quote me on that.  It is not clear just what folks who want to subscribe via DirecTV get versus those who use streaming video or watch in their browser window.
