ee93 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 This is great news. I have dish and had read about the carriage, but could not confirm. Their CSR didn't know anything about it (why was I surprised?). Not to question your sources, but where did you find that 464 will be it? My 464 is not live as of this evening anyway. Thanks.

OhioSiouxFan Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 The 464 channel on Dish is accurate. I checked my Dish Programming Guide and the game is listed on the guide for tomorrow. Quote
Goon Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Cable: Time Warner, Charter Communications, Midcontinent Communications, Comcast, Astound, Sjoberg Cable Satellite: Echostar (Dish Network) Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 According to today's herald, the Maine game will be shown before the UND game on channel 23. Quote
Goon Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 According to today's herald, the Maine game will be shown before the UND game on channel 23. That would be good. I am hoping Sundays games are on too. Cross your fingers. Quote
Herf Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Charter will NOT be picking up the Victory Sports feed for their Wisconsin customers. Fortunately, Fox Sports Atlantic will be carrying the West Region final (for those of you who have the digital cable package). Apparently Victory only made the free offer to Charter communities in Minnesota and not Wisconsin. Quote
siouxgrad Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 MidContinent posted a schedule of games they are covering (you can use it to check your viewing area): http://www.midcocomm.com/editable_content/...MCHockey12.html Looks like all the Regional Finals; and UND, MN, UMD, ME First Round Games. A total of 8 games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

UMDDogz Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Dish did agree Direct did not Thanks, ICE. GO DOGS!!!!!!!!!! Quote
iceberg Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Dogz Ch 464 has the games LETS GO BULLDOGS!!!! Quote
Herf Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Unfortunately, Superior would be a little trek for me Quote
Herf Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 That's not much better (plus I'd rather make the drive to Superior) I'll hopefully be watching teh Sioux tomorrow evening, drinking a spotted cow (a fine microbrew indeed), and generally enjoying myself. Quote
