It just appeared in my program guide. :-D
BTW, I don't see Harvard-UNH on that channel. It just says "UP NEXT: NCAA West Regional"
Yeah, I don't see it yet either. The DU-Bemidji game did go late, so I'm hoping that's all it is.
Anyone getting the game to show up yet?
Apparently the Harvard-UHN game is on 448 on Dish network
I'm on the phone with DirecTV now - trying to convince them there's actually a problem:
I urge all of you to call DirecTV at:
1-800-494-4388
And Altitude:
DO NOT call Altitude, the woman there is just an operator and can't do anything.
Pester DirecTV!!
It's only a problem if you want to watch H-UHN...
Not necessarily, its the same feed and channel that we should be on tonight. If they don't get it now, they very well may not get ours tonight!
But I think they're just not activating it until 16:00 CST. OTOH, the times appear to be wrong...
Ah, I see that. Mine says 5. Well, I ain't leaving 'til I see something.
I don't have access to any tv right now but am interested in whether DirectTV is showing 658 because I need to decide quickly whether to go to bars or listen on the radio. Is anyone seeing Altitude Alternate now? What is this 5 pm EST thing that is mentioned?
I just spoke to someone at Directv. She said if Altitude alternate is not broadcasting to DirecTV, there's nothing they can do. She said I can try calling Altitude.
This doesn't give me confidence for our game. ::help::
We'll see if it magically appears at 5pm Eastern.
-Parag
The person at Altitude told me they *are* broadcasting the feed. But I guess being just an operator, she wouldn't know for sure.
The 5 PM thing is what the DirecTV guide information says. At the top of the screen it quotes an event as starting at 5 PM, and that event is the "West semifinal", although it *does* say basketball ;)
I just got off the phone with a commercial sales supervisor at DirecTV. He confirmed that Altitude had asked DirecTV to activate Altitude's "alternate" programming on DirecTV channel 658 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. I was told that "college hockey game" was the only specific note about the programming content. I was also told that "activating" Altitude alternate on 658 did not necessarily mean that the program in question would start at 5:00 -- it could start later (an hour later, let's hope). At any rate, I think there are reasons to remain cautiously optimistic.
Any feed yet?
Thanks Hillel. You just may be a lifesaver again. My forray into DirecTV has been less successful. I'm currently talking to a Tier II tech support who still doesn't know much about it, except that 658 isn't a channel.
Well, yes, it usually isn't. But Hillel's information is certainly comforting
(No feed yet, guess I'll leave for the bar < crosses fingers > )
The most worrying thing to me is that the time listed is 4:00-6:30 Central (5:00-7:30 EST). I hope they don't cut it off an hour and a half in.
It's online on my system. Commercial at the moment, but playing.
Someone please post as soon as altitude alternate comes on directTV- whatever the programming.
It came up! Harvard-UNH 3rd period on now.

They joined us in progress once the Harvard game ended.
