Game watch

[01PantherFan]

No chance of seeing it outside of Iowa unless CSTV or one of the Fox Sports Net channels pick it up (both are on DISH Network and DirecTV).

I e-mailed CSTV they doubt they can cause they have programing already, I also e-mailed fox midwest but I have never heard back from them

Neither have it in their lineup for the week. What about picking it up on satellite? Anyone have any pointers on that?

I looked through Mediacom's website yesterday to attempt to view their coverage area to see what was even remotely close to Chicago. What a waste, they don't even have a map showing cities covered.

Unless one of the sports channels picks up the game at last minute (which I doubt), it just ain't gonna happen folks. I am content watching it on my laptop.

You can't simply re-point a 20" DISH Network or DirecTV dish and pick up the feed.

Maybe with a 6 ft C-Band dish but very few people have those anymore.

You can't pick those coordinates up with your 18" (or 24") consumer brand sat dish.

A C-band dish would do it if it could receive Ka band signals, but you'd need the proper box in which you can input coordinates and frequency.

DTV sats are at 99degrees, 101degrees, 103degrees. This sat is at 74 degrees, so you'd have to do some SERIOUS repointing, and then you'd need a box that can actually decode the signal. In short, if you aren't set up to do this, you aren't doing it.

You can hook a laptop up to a TV if you have the right output.

Mediacom won't offer this outside the state of Iowa. Mediacom of Iowa is producing the game, not Mediacom nationally.

I thought I heard something that Mediacom in the Carbondale, IL area might carry it as well. But I can't confirm that with a link or anything.

Either way, yeah you're right, it's not a national thing.

Thanks O1. At least that gives me a basis to call some bars and ask about their satellite service.

I have hooked my laptop up to my TV (VGA), but the video of the game does not show. It is probably a compression issue.

As for watching in the McLeod center. I went to watch the Ducks (broadcast on the scoreboard at their arena in Anaheim) play a game in the Stanley Cup at New Jersey. It was a cool experience...although much different from attending an actual game. Still, well worth the effort. If they open up the McLeod Center, I am sure they will treat the fans right.

Mediacom is showing the game statewide.
