Up next: SALUKI Week!

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

As of this moment the game is not listed on DTV anywhere.

Remember when FS-Midwest ran these games? Remember when Comcast Chicago at least put them on the alternate channel?

We should find a semi-retarded monkey and put them in charge of the Valley Football office.

CFU is showing the game on their channel 15, according to their website, they are getting the feed from "CSN Plus" (comcast sports net plus). Whether that means anything for folks with satellite, I don't know. (of course, it wouldn't be without precedent, for either CFU or Mediacom, to announce on the website that they are showing a game, but then end up not being able to get the feed afterall. But I'll be setting my VCR before I head off to C'dale, just in case)

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Thank Gawd for small cable networks.... my WOW! cable is still showing as airing the game on FCSP at 2:00 tomorrow. Here's hoping that doesn't change.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Comcast Sports Net Chicago does not show the game on their "plus" schedule. This is the case both on their website and on DTV's guide.

The game is on FCS-Pacific, so if you get that as a stand-alone channel, you should get the game.

Here's the skinny. There are three FCS channels - Pacific, Atlantic and Central. Most of the time they repeat something already found on a Fox Sports channel. Most cable systems, therefore, do not give them independent channel assignments. Dish and DTV are amongst these. They assign a single channel and put on whichever of the three has a live, unique game. If FCS hasn't properly alerted those channels as to something live then it doesn't get turned on at the right time.

As of right now that is the situation. Sometimes it changes overnight, however.

If you post on here by noon tomorrow that it is being shown on a dish network channel I'll take back every bad thing I've ever said about you.

I'm thinking I should make fun of you like you did Alum 99. Look at post #49. Dish Network is showing the game at 2pm on channel 447. Don't jinx it. It is still on the guide. So....get ready to tell newsbreaker you love him!

So.... ummmmmmmmm try 447 on dish network.

That is weird? I check my guide every half hour to see if it dropped off! I just checked again and it is still there. It seems odd that I would have here in Cedar Rapids and you don't.

Hell, let's just have Rima write down his impressions of the game and relay them back to Cedar Falls via Pony Express.

You're probably aware of this, but that scenario is how Ronald Reagan got his start on WHO in Des Moines. He was reading ticker tape and doing what he billed as live play-by-play of U of Iowa baseball games. I know it was baseball, and pretty sure it was U of I since I'm also pretty sure he later called U of I football games back in the day.

I'm at my parents house who have DTV and it is there on the guide. How do I know if that channel is part of their TV guide? Its not telling me that it is blocked anywhere that I can see.

It was on my guide as of an hour and a half ago, which was the first time I checked today, but not late last night. Something strange is goin' on and we's all in the way.

That's most right. It was actually Cubs baseball. In fact, doing Cubs baseball for WHO is how he ended up in Hollywood. Reagan was sent out to California for Spring Training a couple times and while there performed some auditions and screen tests. It led to his eventual departure for LA and his later film career.

He actually did Iowa Football first for WOC in Davenport, then later for WHO.

He was a very talented sports broadcaster.

You needed to be specific and you needed to be the first. You were neither. Those rules were obviously implied.
