Kermit Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 What do the cable viewers see when there is no game? Is the channel like a Public access channel so you have other stuff, or is it just blank? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In the FM area (CableOne), FSSN is on channel 44. The channel shows the "Shop at Home" network when games are not on. Quote
PCM Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 What do the cable viewers see when there is no game? Is the channel like a Public access channel so you have other stuff, or is it just blank? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a test pattern. I watch it all the time. Seriously though, it's usually an ad for an upcoming UND sports event. Maybe they run other types of ads, too. I just know that it's not very interesting unless there's a game on. Quote
iceberg Posted October 5, 2005 Author Posted October 5, 2005 My cable (NCC Ray, ND) gets a blue screen with the "lost signal" message on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats funny....I thought maybe a black screen or a screen shot, but blue screen "no signal" is pretty funny Quote
Eskimos Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Who cares, really. I think someone has an obsession with satellite viewing of the Sioux. Quote

I think someone has an obsession with satellite viewing of the Sioux. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I asked a simple question...no need to get pissy and to answer your question, I don't have an obsession with satellite viewing of the Sioux I have an obsession with satellite viewing of HOCKEY (especially College hockey) Quote

The Sicatoka Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 It's a test pattern. I watch it all the time. Quote
PCM Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Just promise us you won't do what the voices from the test pattern tell you to do. ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They're heeeeere! Quote
iceberg Posted October 6, 2005 Author Posted October 6, 2005 Thanks Cratter When they had the Sioux coaches show Thursday nights on FSSN, they use to have stuff like that before the show Quote
NDFAN Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Midcontinent Cable, in Casselton, ND Channel 23, just shows the Midcontinent logo when there are no UND events on. It's almost a rush on game day when that logo turns to the FSSN logo comes on, about 1/2 hour before game time. Quote
iceberg Posted October 6, 2005 Author Posted October 6, 2005 NDFAN On satellite, the signal comes up about 15-20 minutes before the game, so that sounds about right Quote
Upper Deck Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 It flashes images of various Sioux sports on Paul Bunyan cable in Berrrrmidji. Quote
