homer Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I totally agree. If you are in one of the markets that have options for cable, why not just switch to Midco? That will get their attention. CableOne apparently needs a wake up call. Even if you don't have another cable option, drop them and go with satellite. You will still have the same options for UND sports. Start switching your service, they will start listening. I'd love to but I don't like the look of a dish on my house. Quote
Redneksioux Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 And remember fcs with directv is for hockey games only Quote
sioux rube Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Damn glad we will be getting all football and hockey games here in Jamestown. Quote
letsSIOUXum Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I called and asked CableONE about carrying the games today. Thy lady said "we are keeping track of every phone call we get an letting the cooperate office know" she said she's a Sioux hockey fan and is waiting to hear some news on it as well. She said "keep calling, let um know you want you Sioux hockey". Quote

letsSIOUXum Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 701-280-0033. And I asked to be transfered to someone in the Fargo office. I let them know that the only reason I have CableONE is for watching Sioux hockey. I was very polite also. Seemed to help. Quote

Sodbuster Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 This is another reason I'm glad I don't live in Fargo. Quote
UNDvince97-01 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I'd love to but I don't like the look of a dish on my house. Huh? C'mon homer... Quote
homer Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Huh? C'mon homer... In my neighborhood all dish locations are street side on the side of the house which would be right above my family room. I thnk it would look like !@#$. Also, I prefer to have bundled internet, cable and phone. I'm waiting for Midco. When they were installing thier system into Moorhead in 2010, I believe I remeber hearing 2013 as their target date for Fargo. I haven't had anyone come knockig on my door yet asking for backyard easment but I still have my fingers crossed. Quote
Jayson Hajdu Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Released today by the Big Sky Conference, online and mobile viewing options for 2012-13: http://www.bigskyconf.com/news/2012/8/30/FB_0830123418.aspx 1 Quote
Jayson Hajdu Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 On a side note, as I sit here on the eve of the football opener with my PC connected to my flatscreen in the man-cave, I still can't watch the latest incarnation of "Sioux Sports Extra"...........................something I've been watching on a weekly basis since I was about 5 years old. The first episode of UND Sports Extra is now available for on-demand viewing here: http://www.undsports.com/mediaPortal/player.dbml?&db_oem_id=13500&id=1038998&DB_MENU_ID=&SPSID=86452&SPID=6409&DB_OEM_ID=13500 We appreciate everyone's patience. In the past, the show aired on Sundays and was available for on-demand viewing on Tuesday. Now that it airs Tuesdays, it will be available on-demand on Thursdays. Quote
southpaw Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Jayson, thanks again for your help. I'm watching the volleyball feed right now... Would it be possible to just have a nat sound mic or the in-arena announcer hooked up to the feed? Quote
deansteg Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Any news on CableOne and Midco working things out? Quote
MoSiouxFan Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Not a good first experience with the Big Sky feed last Sat. The screen froze once or twice every minute. Maybe the UND feed would be better. Anyone have experience with both? Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I watched the UND/PSU replay game last night on Midco, I think Midco does a good job of producing the game, but I would like them to zoom out a little more after the snap. Would be nice to be able to see more of the field than just a close up of the line of scrimmage. Quote
watchmaker49 Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 So are the Manitoba and Alaska games going to be on TV? Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 So are the Manitoba and Alaska games going to be on TV? They are on the Midco Sports Net schedule, and FCS said they were broadcasting all of the UND home hockey games, so they should be available in most of the same places games were available last year.

sprig Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 The picture quality of midco sports net is extremely poor as compared to what WDAZ was giving us on FSSN. Are they using really old, poor, video equipment? Quote
Wildfan Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 They haven't updated to full HD cameras yet. I believe thats a year or two down the the road, The production is still developing, the UND game production is good, but pregame, and even todays South Dakota State game is still lacking. Quote

Are they using really old, poor, video equipment? Are you talking about just UND games or for all Midco Sports broadcasts? I thought that they were going to use the same equipment for UND games. Maybe they are using a different distribution system and losing some signal. I know that they are working on HD for next year for UND sports. And I know that they were setting up a studio in Grand Forks, but I don't know what kind of equipment they were going to be working with. Quote

UND's Broadcast the last two weeks were 10x better then Sodak State today. It could be because it was SoDak State making it look so terrible though. Quote

The VB game last Thursday was just not sharp like past FSSN broadcasts. And today's SDSU game was very poor. Quote
