I don't think so, dummy! Over the air only.

 

[brianhos]

Off the air only. Find a friend with an antenna.

 

[cybsball20]

Off the air only. Find a friend with an antenna or Mediacom.

 

[San Francisco Cy]

Off the air only. Find a friend with an antenna.

So, I could theoretically pull a generator, a tv, and a $10 antenna out into a corn field and watch the game?

If 5.2 doesn't pop up in my guide by Saturday, I'm planning on watching via ESPN360.

Anyone with DTV and an OTA seeing 5.2 populate the guide yet?

I have HR21's and I cannot see 5.2. I hope they turn it on before hand.

 

[IowaCYcler]

I set my DVR to start recording before and end after based on the time instead of the slot.

 

[jumbopackage]

You should be able to watch it if you have gameplan...

Rescan for local channels. I had to do it the other day and now I have 5.2. Sadly I will be in SE Iowa and Saturday and I will most likely not be able to watch the game.

Thanks for the advice! That worked great. We now get 5-2.

Have done it twice and still doesn't come up for me here in Clive. 5.1 yes...5.2 no.

Very strange.

Might get this for free. They've done that before on local games.

I will try it this evening. I am in ankeny, and have a very good antenna, so if it is there, I should be able to pick it up.

 

[Palmer]

[dosry5]

I clicked on this thread because of the title.....I thought we'd be giving advice to Tarheel Hawk or one of the other trolls here....

Hoping it's on 8.2 in Davenport - our ABC station is actually in Moline, IL, and the releases have said Iowa stations. In the past they've been very kind to ISU when it comes down to the choice between ISU games and other Big 10 games, but who knows this time around.

That being said, looking at the regional coverage map, I don't understand why they HAD to pipe in the ACC game onto ESPN (which is an ABC regional broadcast) instead of bumping our game to ESPN.
