Walsh Hall Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I'm in Bismarck and recently switched to Midco from Dishnetwork to get the home games. Anyone have an e-mail or telephone number to harrass Midco to carry the game out here? The local folks are clueless. Thanks Quote
siouxhockey5 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I have digital cable through cableone in Fargo, i checked last night, and it appeared that channel 307,i think, if not it is some channel up in that area, which is Fox Sports Wisconsin or something will have the games on.

iceberg Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Great - thank you. I can't decide now whether to record on CSTV and FCS or on FSSN. Although, I assume that the feed for FSSN will be the same as FCS. siouxguy The FSSN feed that we can get on FTA wont be beamed up Just the local MidCo area (GF and surrounding areas) can see it. They'll get the feed from FSN North and just plug it into the local channel. so right now the options are CSTV (and its bottom scroller...god I hope they don't have that on there) or FCS Central (or DishNetowrk/DirecTV) Quote
iceberg Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 as posted in the other thread (resteraunt thread) FSN North partners with local cable affiliates to broadcast North Dakota-Wisconsin men's hockey series now the question is for those who have cable, is the channel on the list your local FSN or the FSSN? I know Midco is using the same FSSN channel. Reason I ask is if those other channels listed are the channels that you NORMALLY see the Sioux games, then maybe it will be FTA Quote

iceberg Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 siouxguy Now I'm thinking they MIGHT show it on FSSN (the beamed up via satellite verison that the FTA'ers can get)....the link posted above (and in the other thread) lists the channels for the cable systems that are carrying it. I checked Polar Communications and the channel matches the FSSN (heck, they list it in the channel guide as FSSN) So maybe, just maybe the FSSN will have the game for the FTA'ers Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Well that just royally sucks . The disadvantage of living in Minot. And I even remember that I use to able to watch the Wisconsin away series through FSSN via FSN North Feed. Looks like it's the radio for me. Quote

All I can say is it is about time. Quote

Looks like it's the radio for me. the disadvantage, you mean besides never getting any UND sports updates even on nights when MSU isn't playing. Just joking. It is usually radio for me when i am there because we don't get cable just dish. I can't convinced the parents that an extra package is needed for sioux sports. Quote
Siouxman Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 For those with digital service from Charter Communications, FCSC is channel 405 and both games are on this weekend. 7:30 Friday and 7:00 on Saturday. Quote
terbele Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 If I order the HDTV Box from Comcast for $5/mo will I be able to view the FS college channels, one of which is carrying tomorrows game. I dont have an HDTV. Quote
DMT Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 If I order the HDTV Box from Comcast for $5/mo will I be able to view the FS college channels, one of which is carrying tomorrows game. I dont have an HDTV. You will get the digital channels. You won't need a HDTV, the games will not be broadcast in HD. Quote
iceberg Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 you need the digital box & the sports pack added the HDTV box would work fine too Quote
#1 Sioux Fan Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 A little off topic - All the games, I can remember, that have been showen on CSTV, when the Sioux are not at home, have the Sioux won?? Quote

Well at least we have radio, they do a good job. Quote
cjsol Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Does anyone know about DISH Network? Will it be on an Alternate Channel? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Reading this list, it looks like the "Grand Forks" television market (best described by folks who can receive WDAZ-TV over the air) with the exception of Cable One in "Fargo, SD". If they're going over Cable One in Fargo, clearly there's no "TV market overlap" issues. Why not just put it on all of the normal Fighting Sioux Sports Network outlets? Why do I say that? Midco will not have me as a viewer at all on Fri/Sat unless UND/UW is on. (I sure ain't watchin' Goldie when I can listen to The Sioux.) Quote
A.B.T.G. Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Can someone confirm that FSN North will carry the games in the Minneapolis market? Thanks. If so, I know what I am doing this weekend.....wahoo! Go Sioux! Quote
iceberg Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Easiest way on Friday is on CSTV (Dish 152 Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I sent an e-mail to Midcontinent about this. Had to vent my anger a little bit. Cause I remember I use to be able to watch the series before until recently. Probably won't even get a response but oh well. This is definitely a series to watch on TV. Quote
Shawn-O Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Easiest way on Friday is on CSTV (Dish 152 Quote

Walsh Hall Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I just got confirmation that Midco will be carrying the games in the Bismarck area on channel 39. Quote
