I don't get FCS on Dish, so I'll have to listen....

For those on DirecTV, the KSU-CU game is now listed on channel 617. They apparently anticipate it going into 48 overtimes as well as they have it's running time at 6 hours. Guess I don't have to worry about the DVR cutting it off.
 
Does anybody know why with DirecTV (and the sports package) that I sometimes get FCS and Sometimes do not?
 
I will try to find and post a link to a stream of the game online if I find one - but since it is two 'poor' teams, it might be hard to find one.
 
Bookmark this site, if a sporting event is on TV, this site will give you the link to the stream

atdhe.net

I use it daily during the NBA season and on Saturdays and Sundays during the fall, I have 2-3 games up at once. Great site!

Because I think DTV only has it when there are live events on FCS.

I realize that sometimes it is has upcoming: team vs team...but sometimes when a game is actually on there I don't get it. Like, for example, I recorded the Wyo game and it was just gray.

Because sometimes you pay your Directv bill and sometimes you don't?? :cool:

I can't really answer that one. The number of times I've wanted to watch something on there other than the Buffs has been really minimal. And I wasn't home for Wyo, so I'm not sure if I got it or not... :huh:
 
Okay, similar challenge here. My brother-in-law is sponsoring my slingbox. He's got Dish network and also buys the Fox College Football package.

He moved yesterday, so the slingbox is down, but it just popped back up (God bless him--he didn't waste any time).

I assumed that I'd get FCS because of the football package. However, nothing is showing up for channel 617 when I tried to DVR the game.

All of the Fox Sports channels appear to be showing the Iowa State game.

I know this is essentially the topic of this thread, and the answers should be imbedded within, but they're not jumping out at me. ~

Help!

I appreciate your eagerness to assist...but yes, I pay the bill. All of the other channels work fine and FCS works some of the time. It will say that a game is on per the guide and when i switch to it I get either a gray screen, a direct TV logo with music, or (in rare cases) the game advertised.

I don't get FCS until there's a game on it. As soon as the game starts, the channel works. Until then, I get a message saying I don't subscribe to the channel.
 
PigDog -

I Don't know where you live, but you can always go to a sports bar that has 20+ TV's. It's bound to be broadcast on at least one of them. Old Chicago, Buffalo Wild Wings, one of those kind of places should have it on.
 
unfortunately, I live 70 miles from yellowstone. I only see montana and montana state. I've had to watch my share of Bobby Hauck over the years.

There's my confusion. I didn't really note the difference between Direct TV and Dish Network. I just assumed it was the same thing.

Yeah, they are two competing satellite companies.. There isn't a huge difference except that Direct TV is the sole provider for the NFL sunday ticket package.. I've heard good things about Dish TV but if you are an NFL fan and don't just want to see the lame local games you get every week, you have to have Direct TV

Except....NFL Redzone kicks butt. For $5/month, it is terrific. The network bounces from game to game, and shows every TD scored. Check it out if you don't want to pay the multi-hundreds for Direct's NFL package.

If you have DirecTv go to channel 617

When i was at CU, they had that channel that showed specific CU related stuff like that field over by Folsom and I think there was a health channel or something too. I am thinking it is an outrage that they can't pump the game into the dorms and the rest of Campus TV. But then again, I am from that camp that thinks any CU game should be broadcasted on the CU website for free. Afterall, this isn't pro sports and these kids don't get paid to do this... Right NCAA?
 
Looking for the game online now - MAY have a link prior to the game, but i don't have total hope.
