11:30 am kickoff on FCS

The big question is will DirecTV still be carrying FCS on Saturday?

Good point. But directv is not Mediacom. Mediacom had issues like this and they can afford to let channels go blank for a few days and get their way because of being a small provider. Directv however I don't think they can afford to let those channels shut down as they are national and have many direct competitors such as dish network and local cable companies.

I am leaving for Mexico in the morning & when I search for the ISU v KU game it shows a game on Wed 11/9 on Directv channel 671... wft.... anyone know better than my Directv guide?

Yes, they reached an agreement.

Doesn't appear Dish Network has FCSN, just FSN on 418. As of right now, they have something else showing on the schedule for game time. Maybe that will change.

 

[kcclones]

it won't be on Dish...last year FCS games weren't on.

 

[CloneJob]

Yeah, I have DISH so I'm screwed

No, you are still in good shape.

Does Mediacom carry FCS? I'm not even sure what channel that is.

When I had mediacom, you had to have the sports package. I think it was channel 173

Yep, channel 173 on their sports package.

Do you need the sports pack on Direct TV to get FCS? FCS is not listed on their website under the sports pack. I did see a couple of FCS channels on my guide but all it says on Saturday Is To Be Announced. Both channels currently have the Direct TV logo and music and do not say you are not subscribed to this channel.

Yep, channel 173 on their sports package.

I assume this means the game will not be in High Definition then?

That would appear to be correct.

Yes I believe you have to have the sports pack to be able to watch FCS. That is if Directv is even showing the game? Hopefully they will.

That is correct. The Sports Pack ( $4/mo) is standard def only.

Bummer. I guess I'll be at Jethro's on Saturday, then.
