Update: DO NOT GO to the West Palm Beach, FL viewing location!

A sports bar in West Palm Beach, FL called Duffy's (721 Village Blvd) had been offered as an establishment that was able and willing to show the CU-OSU game live on Saturday. This venue was posted on the master list of viewing locations (above). Now there are reports that Duffy's may not be able to get Altitude on DirecTV (channel 644), which means they won't be able to show the game on Altitude's alternate channel (DTV channel 658 on Saturday). Can anyone confirm that Duffy's in West Palm Beach will or won't be able to show the game? Until confirmed, potential visitors should be cautious.

Bump.

Still no word about this situation. I'd be grateful if someone would check this venue when it opens to see if they can get DirecTV channel 644.

Bump.

I am really getting nervous about this location, and I'm tempted to remove it from the master list unless someone can please call them and confirm the presence or absence of Altitude (644, which is an indicator of the channel needed for tonight's game, 658). Looking for a little help. Pronto.

Hillel, there are several Duffy's locations in the WPB area of Florida as I used to live there. The one we used to frequent is located in a strip mall at the corner of Jog Road and 10th avenue and they have a huge TV...as a matter of fact, several huge TV's...with nothinh but sports on them at all times. I would suggest that interested parties in the area give them a call before going...unless of course you live as close to them as we did and have the desire for some good wings.

LET'S GO RED!!!

i just spoke to Anesh, the manager, on the phone, and he said he is not sure if the game is on or not, but as he assured me they have 'every channel' and if the feed picks up at 6 for the game, it ont actualy appear untill then.

The Rancor: Probably the same guy I talked to, but I asked him to turn it to 644 (The regular altitude channel), and they do not get that channel. I think its same to assume that if they dont get Altitude, they wont be getting altitude alternate unfortunately.
