Testing Altitude Alternate

[CUlater 89]

If Jeremy doesn't want to organize it (again), that's his choice, just like it's the choice of others who would like to watch the game but are unwilling to make the calls necessary to arrange it.  Given that Jeremy has laid the groundwork, I can't imagine that it would take much time for someone else to finalize the arrangements (given the additional information we have this morning from CU).

In any case, if someone steps up, you should also discuss showing the West regional final live.

Thanks for the email address Hillel.
I already
 posted a nice thank you letter on the feedback link of altitude's website, but i will also send a letter to her supervisor as well.

We should at least send her a big red hat so she doesn't forget us... (as much as she might like to at this point :-D

Beeej, based on last night's tests in other cities, we seem to have determined that DTV bars anywhere (with relatively new equipment) that order Altitude will get Altitude alternate programming. I don't think you need to test; now you just need to find a place with DTV that would be willing to order Altitude. See Lisa92's post with the link to CU Athletics, where they offer a direct phone number to DTV's commercial reps (that's the number for bar managers to call).

Hillel,  How do we determine whether the age of Flanigan's Boathouse will be able receive the OSU-CU hockey game?

First see if they receive channel 644 on DirecTV. If they don't (which they probably won't), they'll have to call up and order the package.

If they do so, you then have to confirm that they get the alterate feed as well. That will be channel 658 today and should be showing the Worcester regional games this afternoon and evening. If they do, then you're in very good shape. Check back and make sure that they get the Harvard/UNH game on 658 at 3 p.m. tomorrow and that should be extra, extra assurance.

If they get 644, but not 658, then they'll need to talk to DirecTV to figure out why.
