Blackheart Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 When is the next UND televised sporting event on FSSN? Quote
sprig Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 When is the next UND televised sporting event on FSSN? Oct. 1 hockey vs Regina http://www.ndtc.tv/fssn.htm Also Montana football is again on 99W: http://www.montanagrizzlies.com/schedules/?s=170&g=100&m=37 Quote
Redneksioux Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Any chance the sioux/fresno st football game will be on fta? I recall picking up multiple espn3 feeds last year. Quote
Sodbuster Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 When will the nation- wide college hockey TV schedule come out? All I find is the old 10-11 schedule. Quote
TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Montana is on 85 west not 99 west. Quote
sprig Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Montana is on 85 west not 99 west. Thanks, didn't find it on 99, so I'll motor on over. Site lists the satellite as Galaxy 16, but it's AMC 16 instead. What's The transponder info, Jake? OC and raining, haven't scanned it in here. Quote
TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 It's an HD feed. 12029 H 12999. It will say truck I. The site had the wrong sat. Should have been amc 16 not galaxy 16. I wonder if there is a cooler stadium in the big sky conference? Quote
TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Sprig, Openbox 10 for $100. Can't go wrong for that. The traxis is still better but this way I'm covered except for 4:2:2 feeds. Quote

I wonder if there is a cooler stadium in the big sky conference? Interesting, Montana has gone HD, no wonder I can't get it. Do you have the openbox attached to your traxis? No doubt that's the nicest stadium in the Big Sky, and one of the nicest anywhere. Quote
TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I have them side by side with different HDMI cords into a 42 inch tv. Also have a line for my 6 foot but I have that set up for c band right now. I will bring out the 1 meter winegard with a motor once hockey starts so I will have a 30" motored, a 1 meter motored and a solid 6 foot stationary. Plus I have all of them wired into 3 rooms in my house. Quote

TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Does the openbox have usals and diseqc? Would guess there is very little HD on KU band, right? Yes it does. There is more and more sports going HD. On this sat today there was 3 hd feeds. Montana football, cubs and astros and duke and boston college. Quote
sprig Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Yes it does. There is more and more sports going HD. On this sat today there was 3 hd feeds. Montana football, cubs and astros and duke and boston college. Where did you get the box for 100 Quote
TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Ebay. Pete also has one. Quote
PSB Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Ebay. Pete also has one. The open box does what it says on the box but........... Takes about 30 mins to scan a satellite.... USALS seems to work fine : ) Worst thing about it is I find a lag in the audio behind the video. For a movie or action show its really noticeable. But for sports I would guess not a big deal. Another bad point I found with my open box is the picture color, seems very saturated. But as I say it does work...... easy to slave it to a Traxis : ) Quote
TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I do agree with Pete on his points. Cheap receiver to get more feeds. I wish Traxis would get with it and get a HD receiver but this will do for me. Unless my ebay account finds an Azbox. Quote

What ever you do dont waste the big $$$ on an AZBox Salgari has one on my forum and sent me a very negative analysis of it. I am sure he will get around to posting it, or I will. Is the Open Box worth $100? Yes, but not much more. Best to bid around $100 on e-bay and stand your ground. Eventually someone will sell you one for $100 Quote
sprig Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Not into the Montana football feed enough to get an HD box, especially one with the problems you describe. If the FSSN ever goes HD, I'll get more serious. Still, bummed I can't watch the Big Sky via FTA without an HD STB. Quote
Redneksioux Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Anyone got the sioux fb game showin on any sat? 1 espn3 gm is showin on 87 Quote
burd Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Question. My daughter grew up in Wisconsin but is a big Sioux hockey fan. She's now a college student in NOLA and is already asking how she can watch the Sioux/Badger series in October. I will get her a subscription for this year's Sioux broadcasts at FightingSioux.com, but that won't help her with the Badger series. Her dorm won't have a cable subscription that will get her access. I doubt New Orleans has a lot of bars that show WCHA hockey on Friday and Saturday nights, though I'm sure whe would never go in a bar anyway. Is there a solution to this (outside four game tickets and one round trip airfare, as she has so kindly suggested)? Quote

TheGreatSiouxNation Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Tell her to call some bars and see if they have FTA Satellite. If they do they can get FSSN. Quote

Is there a solution to this (outside four game tickets and one round trip airfare, as she has so kindly suggested)? The only way anyone can watch on TV is FSN North alternate, which airs many Wisco home games, and has always had the Sioux series. In New Orleans, that would take a Dish or Directtv system with the sports pack (directv), or multisports pack (dish) to get it. Wisco may also have pay for web streams, but not sure where that might be found. It doesn't appear that the series will be on FSN, however: http://www.collegehockeylive.com/men/d1/teams/wcha/wisconsin.aspx#tv_schedule and no listed webcast. May be radio only. Quote
