FSC shows English Prem, Serie A.. Gol is La Liga and Bundesliga and Setanta is mainly English Prem and Championship, Scottish... with Rugby thrown in....
I get Setanta through Direct tv, not sure if its available through comcast or not.. its basically a channel you pay 12 bucks a mo for... worth every penny because they also have MUTV which shows every Man U game and behind teh scenes type stuff as well...
We have setanta over here but its the other way round, i get it because it has NASN (North American Sports Network) as one of the channels you get through the package.. It gives me all NCAA stuff - football and hoops, MLB, and shows like Around the Horn and PTI ( oh and NHL)
It has started getting more football/soccer in the last few years but there is only so much you can watch with a game everyday on Sky sports anyway just about. It also has all 5 of Sunderland preseaosn friendlies on live this year too.
As for the the bandwagon question - its tough one. Its a little like picking the cowboys i suppose but if you just want a team to follow and you want ot watch games then why the hell not. Jeez theres were times beofre the internet that i got to see the Cards in highlights only about twice a year for 2 minutes a pop and i'm thinking how lucky the other 'big' teams fans must be seeing live games all the time in the UK.
But for a real taste of what sport is about then look around, find a team from a place you like or might visit or even colour! then follow with them with all you have to give! If you look hard enough you will of course end up being a Sunderland fan so i can sace you the trouble on that one
always bleed red (and white)

I know it's bad, so here are my 4 teams I'll be trying (probably not very well) to follow:
Arsenal
-- Only reason I picked them is that I have an old kit of theirs from a long time ago
Barcelona
-- I really like Ronaldhino
Juventus
-- Also have an old kit
Bayern Munich
-- Mostly just name recognition
Yes, these teams are very recognizable, but I don't have much of a clue as to how dominating they are in their leagues, so that makes the choices a lot easier. There is an Italian Series B club I'd probably follow if I could, but it will probably be too hard to get any info here in L.A.

I watched the May game between Barca and Real Madrid, and RMD just KILLED Barcelona. Barcelona just looked awful in that game, but Real was pretty amazing.

In response to the glory supporter (bandwagon) question. I don't think it is, so long as you stick with that team for the rest of time. Once you pick a team you CAN'T CHANGE EVER!
