Sodbuster Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Last year the Beaver/Sioux games were on TV on Midco (I think it was Midco). Any chance of that happening this weekend? Quote

Sodbuster Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 All of Bemidji's games are on PBS Well....evidently Midco picked it up last year somehow.I'm in eastern ND and have Polar, and I had to go over to a buddy's place to watch last year. Quote
Goon Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 All of Bemidji's games are on PBS Unfortunately, if you have DirecTV and you live in ND you will not get these games. Quote
Sodbuster Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Hey, AZSIOUX, it's not too early to start the Sioux vs. Beaver thread, is it? Quote
siouxu31 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Unfortunately, if you have DirecTV and you live in ND you will not get these games. I live in Fargo and ran out to Walmart last year before the games and bought a digital antenna for my tv for $20 and now get all of the bemidji games. You can view all 4 of the PBS stations in the area with an antenna. Quote

siouxu31 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 What kind of an antenna do I need. Can I use it in the basement? You should. Its just your basic digital antenna (rabbit ears). It picks up the digital ABC, Fox, NBC, etc. Mine actually says that its an HD one and it does come in clear. Quote

So, when you say "rabbir ears", you don't mean that my old rabbit ears stashed in my closet will work, do you? Quote

I do have access to digital channels that come in through my TV....FSSN, for example is 15.70 on my receiver. Thanks for the tip, I will try this. Any idea what channels PBS will com in on? 67.470 or 64.470 would be my first guesses. Not sure about Lake PBS in Bemidji. Quote
siouxu31 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 So, when you say "rabbir ears", you don't mean that my old rabbit ears stashed in my closet will work, do you? i believe it has to be a digital antenna since those channels are digital. I don't know if the old school ones would work. Its worth it to go to walmart and get one if you enjoy college hockey because it gives you two more games to watch every weekend when the beavers are at home. Also i figured if i will spend 15-20 bucks a weekend on 2 webcasts, i might as well just go spend the money on the antenna even if it cost a little more since you can use it year after year for this series as long as pbs covers it.

Not sure about Lake PBS in Bemidji. i would have to check when i get home. i wonder if having the antenna like i do helps the signal at all. Like i said, i live in fargo and the channel comes in crystal clear with the antenna. Quote
GFG Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I remember when i watched the Bemidji games on Midco last year I felt like a 12 year old watching cinemax. It was very blurry and every now and then you saw the puck. I dont know why it was so bad for me, but others seemed to get it just fine Quote

I live in Mayville. If you get it in Fargo with the digital antenna, I would think I could get it in Mayville too. It's worth a $20 gamble, that's for sure. Quote

Rabbit ears should work if your TV has a digital tuner. Quote

I remember trying to situate my rabbit ears in my basement in just the right place so I could get the very best snowy picture I could when certain games were only on WDAZ and my cable got WDAY. I was thrilled when I was able to make it work. In those days, only a hand full of games were televised. Quote

You can view all 4 of the PBS stations in the area with an antenna. I need some clarification on this. I have an antenna that I use to pick up the local stations for HD. I get like 3 different local PBS stations on 13.1, 13.2, 13.3. Are the games on one of these channels, or do you need to try to pick up one of the Minnesota PBS stations? If so, on which channels can these be found? Quote

Redneksioux Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Well, I'm going to get a digital antenna and hope I'm as fortunate as you! Thanks! I'm sure you will be. Make sure to get a uhf/vhf antenna. I believe the pbs channels come in on vhf and some of the newer flat type antennas are uhf only. The amplified antennas help signal a bit as well. Probably wont work in your basement but main floor should be fine. Quote
