I think I am going to dump them becasuse can not count on them. This will cost them money and save me some. I will be dropping the sports pack next fall and re-installing my FTA system. Quote
Snake Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I love DirecTV, but since Fox College Sports is a CABLE service first I've always kept my FTA system ready. In fact, this year I've been watching on FTA for the superior picture and relying on my DirecTV for backup. Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 As I said in another thread, this is the exact reason I never switched to DirecTV. Since it airs on one of their alternate channels I didn't think I could reliably count on the games being on. Turns out I was right. Quote

Snake Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I am considering getting a FTA at the hunting shack. Is there much on those anymore? I only use mine for FSSN broadcasts so I don't really know. From what I've seen you can get some occasional sports and a lot of news feeds, but I'm not sure I would rely on it as my sole source of TV entertainment. Of course...if you only need it for Sioux games during hunting season you'd be set - especially considering they may only be available nationally on FTA due to the upcoming TV deal with the NCHC. It's a good thing we have a year and a half to get this figured out! Quote

It's a good thing we have a year and a half to get this figured out! Do we know for sure all the home games will still be available over FTA? I suppose if WDAZ is still producing them for local broadcasting that means the feed would be there, but if UNDSN no longer exists, then will the game actually get uplinked to the satellite for us to pick up?

No...we don't know for sure...keyword "may" only be available. Lots of time before this is an issue, though, so hopefully something gets worked out. Quote
Trunk Monkey Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 In Tucson on vacation hoping to get game on Direct tv but based on above comments it sounds like the game will not be on. Is that correct? Thanks for your help. Quote
Snake Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Correct. DirecTV is not picking up the live games from Fox College Sports this weekend. The games will be on cable systems that carry Fox College Sports. Quote
PSB Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 SNR 71% dB 11.40 AGC: 26% On the Dreambox DM800se On this receiver SD looks like HD, HD looks like looking out a window : ) You can stream the video to Android or Iphone, and even to a PC For example if you give someone your Dreambox's IP address they can enter it in a search engine and watch the same thing! I think I will start my own IPTV company! Ok maybe not, but its possible! Quote

I'm getting nothing when doing an auto scan on any satellite. i replaced the cable from the dish to ny receiver and still nothing? Quote
PSB Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Forgot to mention you can also watch recorded video from the dreambox later on a Smart Phone or PC, ANYWHERE Quote
Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Wow Pete, that's pretty cool! If they are still on FTA next year I may have to get that. Works great on 3 G too? Quote
PSB Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Yes its 3G I use, there is a lag of course but what the hey, and the vplayer I use on the phone stops now and then to post an ad, you buy a pay version with no ad. There is also a signal meter for it for smart phones... Quote
Redneksioux Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Does this receiver pick up other channels in hd with a 90cm dish? If the sioux remain on fta next season i might just need to invest in one of these and a motor.

PSB Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 With the dreambox? Jake uses the Traxis, but what a great signal! Yep, they are going out with a bang this season! Lets hope (There is a) next season they start with the same signal : ) The good thing about next season is.... if a few of us have a Dreambox, as long as one of us gets the game we can stream to each other ; ) Quote
SiouxperSiouxFan Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Does anybody know if tonights game will be on either DirecTV or dishnetwork. Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Does anybody know if tonights game will be on either DirecTV or dishnetwork. Doesn't appear to be. Only on cable or FTA tonight Quote
Da Bizon Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Does anybody know if tonights game will be on either DirecTV or dishnetwork. For some weird reason, it hasn't been showing up on Fox College Sports on Directv lately. I've sent out a few emails to figure out what's going on. Quote

I've sent out a few emails to figure out what's going on. Just last night and tonight, from what I've heard. DirecTV said they didn't have the bandwith to show the games this weekend. Quote
