 For the West Regional final, www.ncaasports.com lists CN8 (NJ, PA, CT, MA), but the CN8 website has the game listed only for their New England network,  not their Mid-Atlantic network.  I emailed CN8,  but got only an automated thank you.  Anybody know for certain if it will be available on CN8 in Philly?


If someone obtains the big dish C/Ku band Satellite coordinates, I have often had success at AJ's Sports bar in Levittown, Bucks County PA, about 1/2 hr up I-95 from Philly.

If I'm not mistaken, you can watch CN8 on the web.  Thus, those of us who end up without tv coverage might still be able to catch the game, assuming we don't melt their server(s).

Is the regional sports network list finalized?
I looked at the Yes Network's schedule Saturday and the best words I could use to describe it is "filler garbage."
I'm pretty sure they've shown regional NCAA Hockey tournament games in the past.
Is it over?

OK I just contacted the YES Network.
As much as I would like to see a rerun of a 2004 Yankees-Red Sox regular season game on Saturday, which has probably been rebroadcast 50 or so times, I'd rather see the Cornell hockey.

Yes, but CN8 on the web SUCKS! Quality is horrible. You can barely make out the players, don't even bother trying to see the #s.

From a central Iowa Big Red fan here, I just noticed on the Cornell release that they list Mediacom as a potential broadcaster of the game.  However no channel is listed, nor is there any info about live/tape delay.  Anyone know what those extra listings mean? ::help::

Hillel, I read your post in response to the No Game at Ship of Fools thread.  I have a question for you or anyone else.

Can you explain the part of the Cornell release that says the game will be available residentially but not at bars for gatherings?  Does that mean that the Altitude Alternate game could be available in viewing areas for residential subscribers, but blocked for sports bars.

Also, the Cornell site lists Cox-Omaha as a channel covering the game live.  Everyone is talking about Altitude Alt.  What about Cox-Omaha?

I can't speak for Dish Network's capabilities, but when it comes to watching Saturday's game on DirecTV (the service used by most sports fans and sports bars because of DirecTV's crown jewel, the NFL Ticket), the answer to your question is YEAH KINDA. It appears that only home subscribers to DTV (who pay for "Sports Pack") are ensured of the ability to get Altitude "alternate" programming (on Ch. 658 that particular night). Sports bars and other commercial venues must order Altitude as a pricey a-la-carte add-on, above and beyond their "Sports Pack" package. That's why it's likely to be a rare find: Not all bars get "Sports Pack," and even fewer are likely to have paid for Altitude a la carte. It's not "blocked," it's just mighty unlikely. And because most sports bar managers are boneheads, it will be hard to find out what they actually are capable of showing.

Cox is a cable company, not a national satellite provider. They must have their own cable sports channel, analogous to Time Warner's Channel 26 in Ithaca. No one's talkin' about cable offerings, because -- unless someone can cough up satellite coordinates for use at a sports bar with a rare "big dish" system -- their programming is not available nationally. Only Omaha area folks, presumably, will be able to watch it.

I have more good news for Dish Network subscribers.  Based on my receiver's programming guide (which gives programming information for 36 hours or so in advance) Channel 447 is broadcasting the D2 basketball games tomorrow at 7 and 9:30 EST.  Based on the syndication list on the NCAA sports website, the only possible source for the feed is the Altitude alternate feed.

At this point, I'd be very surprised if Dish Network doesn't carry the Altitude alternate feed of the NCAA hockey regionals on channel 445 on Friday and channel 448 on Saturday.   The changes in channel number should not be a concern; it's standard practice to have the same station's alternate feed appear on different channels on different days.

Right, the only actual concern is that those of us who were planning on gathering at local watering holes, they won't get the Altitude channels (regular or alternate) without specifically paying for those channels. That's not too likely unless you're in Colorado or somewhere with a lot of Colorado fans.

the big question is still whether time warner cable bought exclusive local rights in NY and those of us with sat's might get an empty screen..

I actually decided to stay in Ithaca, (instead of spending the Easter weekend with my finacee's family) so that I could watch the Cornell game or games, and lots of other ones. But just now, when I checked the Time Warner programming guide, there were some discrepancies between it, and the information above. Most disturbingly, the Cornell-OSU game is not scheduled to be shown.

The programming guide shows that the following games will be shown:

Friday:
4:30 PM-BC vs. Mercyhurst-Live
8:00 PM-BU vs. North Dakota-Live

Saturday:
3:30 PM-Harvard vs. UNH-Live
8:00 PM-East regional final-Live

Sunday:
12:00 PM-Northeast Regional Final-Live
2:30 PM-West Regional Final-Live


There is no mention of the Colgate-Colorado College game.

The URL I used was:
http://www.timewarnercable.com/CustomerService/CLU/TWCCLUs.ashx?CLUID=288&Zip=14850&Image1.x=10&Image1.y=6

I entered 14850 as the zip code, and then looked at Channel 26.

Any ideas?

My bar in DC is willing to buy Altitude for the month if we pay for it.  That's where I'm confused about the residential/commercial distinction.  If the bar buys Altitude for the month, do we think Alt Alternate is available?

Alternate is automatically available w/ residential pacakges, but not at bars?

He also has the ability to get satelite coordinates.  So presumably that could be another option once we find the coordinates, yes?  Jeremy Hartigan and CU said they would be releasing coordinates when they know them.  Do we know these yet?

This is so confusing, but I am feeling a bit optimistic!
