sprig Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I am in St. Louis Park. About 2 miles west of Lake Calhoun. I'd like to get someone to install it and aim it for me all at once. It sounds like there is someone in the cities that can do it. Do you have a dish for Sioux hockey?? It'd be nice to get it all done for this season! Check out http://www.psbsatellite.com. He's in the cities and has done installs for lots of TC Sioux fans. If you get a motorized system installed, you can motor to any of the satellites. The FSSN has changed satellites often since it started, at least one year the satellite was changed during the season. Motor was nice then, although you could pay Pete to return and repoint a manual system. For one road series last year (at Wisco, I think?), the feed was picked up from another satellite, manual would have required two repoints to receive all the games televised, again a big plus having a motor. Below, a motorized system from Pete that I installed myself (I'm a long ways from the TC). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can create a new Wiki page on this site. You just have to be brave enough to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking all donations for steel siding Looks like the UAA road series will be shown on FSSN. This may be on the same transponder, but could be telecast through another satellite, which, without a motor, could require a repoint for those with fixed systems. There have been FTA stations disappearing from KU band over the last month, but, Ohio News Network remains (on 74W)-they have telecast Miami games there the past couple seasons. While midcontinent cable usually repoints and gets you the games, the local cable where I am (NCC Ray) seldom repoints for changes in satellites during the season, which is why I put up my own system and subscribed to dishnetwork. Hope someone takes the time to do the wiki on FTA equipment installation, too much staring at a computer screen for me, already do that way to much at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Pete from PSB installed my dish today. He did a great job in all aspects, it looks great, and works great. He really took the time to make sure the install looked good and was done properly. I would recommend him to anybody interested in getting a dish. Really looking forward to next Sunday's pre season game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceberg Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 The FSSN is not on Directv or Dish If you add the multi-sports pack you can get the games against Wisconsin, Minnesota and Denver via the RSN's (Fox Sports Net) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochsioux Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Looks like some games may be on Fox Sports. The Manitoba game is listed as being on Fox Sports Atlantic along with the Friday game with Merimack. The Sat game with Merimack is on Fox Sports Central. Looks like this w/e football with USD is also on Fox Sports Atlantic at 4pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsowe Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 IF the games are on the Fox sports channels they should be on Direct tv? right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between FoxCollegeSports and Charter/Comcast, which shows SCSU, MSM and UMD home games, Sioux fans in the Twin Cities my not have to trek to Sensers as often this year.

I do like the quality of the FTA feed better than what is delivered by cable as compared to dishnetwork/directtv, the picture is much better quality, so installing FTA was not a total waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get FSN North. How many Fox College Sports channels are there? I only see one on Directv. Now that FCS is carrying it is it going to be scrambled?

You need the Sports Pak to see all the Fox and Comcast sports networks, there are several channels, a least a couple of dozen. So in that case you're much better off having gotten the FTA system rather than write DirecTV a bigger check each month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is fox college sports central, atlantic, etc. different than the Fox sports net channels (FSN Detroit, FSN North, FSN Rockey Mountain, etc.). I don't see any Fox College Sports channels listed in directv's sports pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
