HopHead Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Does anybody know if the game will be available on a satellite and if so does anybody know of a bar in the Twin Cities that might be showing it? If not, is the DataFlix thing worth the money? Thanks, HopHead Go Sioux!! Quote

Verk62 Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I got this information because I contacted Pitt State. The game will be on Satellite. This is from Programming at KSN. Galaxy 3 KU Band Digital Transponder 15 Slot A 11981 Horizontal In DVB Mode Assemble rate is 4.88 FEC is 3/4 mpeg program #1 or Channel #1 AC3 Dolby Audio He did say they receiver must be digital capable.

Hansel Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 The game will also be on WDAZ/WDAY don't know the satellite coordinates however. I think it has not been made public yet in an effort to sell more game tickets. Quote
cheesemover Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Joe Senser's in bloomington will have the football game this saturday. I talked to the head DJ several days ago and he said no problem. Quote
Verk62 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 UND is starting to really piss me off. I have been calling and emailing all week to find out if the game would be on Satellite. Trying to get coordinates so I could attempt to organize something in Houston. They finally release the information Thursday evening! UND needs to get there crap together. Quote

CoteauRinkRat Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Great News! Hopefully I will see you there. Joe Senser's has got to love Sioux fans. How much money have the games brought this place. Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 UND is starting to really piss me off. I have been calling and emailing all week to find out if the game would be on Satellite. Trying to get coordinates so I could attempt to organize something in Houston. They finally release the information Thursday evening! UND needs to get there crap together. I understand your frustration, but at the risk of sounding like an athletic department apologist, I believe they made a conscious choice to not release TV information until Thursday so as to avoid hurting ticket sales as much as possible. Obviously, for somebody in your situation, attending the game probably isn't an option. But I imagine they decided it was better to inform everybody at once as opposed to picking and choosing who they would inform of the TV situation and who they wouldn't. I'm not saying whether it was right or wrong, but I suspect that was the rationale for you not getting a straight answer. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 I heard from someone at WDAZ that it actually took until thursday to iron out all the broadcast details and finalize the deal. Quote
Verk62 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 I understand that to a point, but this type of crap has gone on at UND for a long time. The athletic department, along with the school is not nearly as well run as they would like everyone to think. PR Garbage! Would it be possible to sell it as a blackout event. If it doesn't sell out, or reach a certain number of tickets sold the game would be a blackout in Grand Forks. I think they could sell the tickets that way and keep everyone informed. Quote

zach Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Does anyone know which satellite provider this game can be accessed through? I have Direct TV and the lady I talked to at Direct TV didn't have much of a clue and told me that I can not get it. Thanks. Quote
roker Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 I called Joe Sensers in Bloomington today and they confirmed that the game will be televised there. Quote

You can't get the game through DirecTV, You will have to go to a bar or somewhere with the right equipment. Quote
