From satfootball:
"All Bundesliga 1 Games for 2006/07 season will be on new German pay tv channel Arena on Astra 19.2 East 12441V 27500 3/4. There will be 1 game on friday nights at 20:30cet, 6 games on saturday at 15:30cet and 2 games on Sunday at 17:00cet"

Maybe it was a once off, as why would anyone pay for this new package if they could watch it for free?
