4-H 97-98 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I have DirecTV here in Minneapolis. Any DirecTV users out there run into the same problem? If so what did you have to do? Thanks Quote
Snake Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 What problem are you referring to? All home games will be live on DirecTV ch. 617 if you subscribe to the Sports Pack. Quote
4-H 97-98 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 problem is what package or add on I needed from DirecTV and how many games will be televised to make it worth it if you know what I mean. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 You need to add the sports pack for 11.99 a month or so.you will get every Sioux home game on 617 or 623 and also get many other fox sports and nesn and CBS college sports just to name a few channels that play college hockey.it's easily worth it alone just for the Sioux games.games keep it year around but many just add it for college hockey October-April.

iceberg Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 yep do what others have said...add the sports pack The only FSSN produced game so far that hasnt been on is the volleyball game. The 2 Alaska games were not on because it wasnt the FSSN producing the game so at the beginning of the year Sweeney said over 40 games on the FSSN and so far we have had on 617 2 womens hockey games 3 football games (2 on FSSN 1 on Altitude) 2 hockey games (the exhibition and last weeks Friday debacle via CBS College) 1 1 Quote
Avs_SiouxFan Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I thought I would call to order as last year I was offered A promotional rate of $7 a month for the first few months but it was just a telephone menu to order today & the same price as listed on the web site 11.99 Quote
Speez Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I thought I would call to order as last year I was offered A promotional rate of $7 a month for the first few months but it was just a telephone menu to order today & the same price as listed on the web site 11.99 Just added the sports pak a few weeks ago for $5.00 off for 3 months, You have to talk to real person to get the deal. Not available online or phone menu. Spent 20 minutes talking to get a better deal, but no cigar,. Directv is getting outrageously priced & thought I could get a better deal for being with them for 10+ years. Looked at switching to the Dish or cable, but Sioux hockey games weren't available. Quote

Someone put earlier that this Saturdays game is on Ch.625 on Direct TV, it looks like it is a Big Ten alternate channel. I know it is included in the sports pack. Quote

remington_270 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 DirecTV will broadcast the mens Western Collegiate Hockey Association series between No. 8 North Dakota and No. 12 Denver. Todays game will be shown on DirecTV 617 and play starts at 7:37 p.m. Saturdays game will be shown on DirecTV 625 at 7:07 p.m. The series will also be available live on Fighting Sioux Sports Network, Midco Sports Network and Fox College Sports Central. Will Saturday's broadcast be the FSSN feed? Quote
Snake Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I'm guessing Saturday's will be FSSN as well, since I haven't heard of anyone else producing the game. Channel 625 may be listed as a BTN alternate channel, but I think DirecTV can assign it to a number of feeds. Maybe 617 and 623 are both in use at the same time? I haven't checked my guide lately...

iceberg Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 the game is for the FSSN There are 2 "FCS" feeds out there...617 & 623. The issue is Saturday they have a cfb on 617 at 4:00. I havent checked 623 yet but those alt channles they schedule football games for like 4 1/2 hours on them Directv has like 10 "RSN Alt" channels that they can use. There is no rule that says it must be on a specific channel. Oh and 625 is not a Big 10 Alt channel....those are 609, 611,612,615 edit: there is no 625 on Directv and the cfb game on 617 is scheduled for 2:30-7:00 so they could use 617 if they wanted to 1 1 Quote
