Hey folks, hopefully one of you knows something I do not.
I'm in the (slow) process of building an HTPC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_theater_PC) and so I've started to pay more attention to what's actually on TV (I don't get cable since 95% of programming I have no interest in except for documentaries) and I would really like to follow some martial sports such as:
Sumo wrestling (I've heard it's on ESPN sometimes...)
Muay Thai
Shuai Jiao (is this even aired on TV? I'm guessing no..)
San Da (again, not sure if it's aired anywhere)
Judo (is this televised outside of the olympics?)
Old kung fu movies are great too
I've caught the first two on TV here and there in the past at random, but I have no idea if the last 3 are televised on any national or international network. I've heard that Sumo is streamed from some japanese website (http://sumo.goo.ne.jp/eng/hon_basho/torikumi/eizo_haishin/eizo3.html), but I have no clue as to the scheduling or if there is any sort of english commentary or subtitling (doubt it). Since I'm using Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv), a plugin can be made for online media, so if there is somewhere online that airs regular matches, that would be great too!
