Anyone with Directv also have this problem? It was blacked out on Fox Sports Rocky Mtn... but was on every other Fox Sports channel on the dish...
anyone know why?

Yes, I posted this in a couple of other threads, and what's odd is that all the other FSN regionals that were carrying the game weren't blacked out. I switched over to FSNRM right before the game and caught the end of the Buffalo Stampede, then a couple of minutes it later it goes off the air. I'm like, what the ****?!?? At least the couple of others I checked weren't. I have no idea what this was all about.
i think its like that big 12 basketball crap... where they block it outside the state on the certain channel...but since i t was available on the other channels no harm no foul
The Big 12 basketball blackouts only happen when ESPN GamePlan picks up the game. If it's not a GamePlan game, then the b-ball game is on FSNRM.
I have never had this problem before... have you?
I'd suspect that since it was a kind of limited national game, there was a game in your area that superceded it. A "no competition" thing.
Fox and Dish are fighting over a contract renewal for out of region viewing of the Fox regionals. Fox wants to jump the cost per viewer by a pretty big margin (Dish says close to 100%,) Dish has historically fought hard against virtually any cost increase as their biggest selling point is lowere prices on service. Dish has dumped channels completely that tried to keep a hard line on a rate increase (Gol for example) while they are aware that in most cases the channels lose a lot of revenue on advertising without the large number of Dish homes.
Because this is a conflict about out of region viewing and not in region Dish had to shut off out of region viewers. With as complex as the regional coverage is the obviously messed up in a number of cases.
This one will probably be settled fairly soon.
it was blocked on DIRECTV... not dish network... unless you are saying that it is all dishes.....
it made no sense to me because I got the game on another Fox Sports Channel....
also, it was listed ion Philadelphia as being shown on my comcast sports channel and it was blacked out....
I am not getting these arbitrary blackouts... I pay for a channel... unless it is apart of a "sports exclusive package" (that I could also buy), then it shouldnt be blocked....
Alot of the east coast did not get a chance to see the Oregon Stanford game if they had a satellite dish.... bizarre... but u actually needed comcast in our area for 2 separate ESPN2 channels so you could watch it....
I was at a wedding in denver that had a directtv setup in next to the bar (woot the bride being a CU grad and being awesome) and it came through just fine, not blackout problems whatsoever.
I have DirecTV and watched the game today on my DVR and I had it set with FSNRM
Hmm, so it sounds like FSNRM wasn't blacked out on DTV if you live in the Denver area. But that still doesn't explain why it was blacked out for those of us out of state, yet all the other FSN's had the game. :huh:
It is biazarre... I may call and ask... I wasn't pissed because I saw the game in HD on one channel up.... but very weird.... Maybe the same thing will happen with Mizzou....
