Do any of the bars in the west Des Moines area plan on having the game on this Saturday?
 
Ken Miller was saying today that Dish Network will carry it. Just checked my guide and I see it's on Ch 407. Ken was asking any bar owners that have Dish to shoot him a note and he would gladly pass along on radio who would have the game. Was about to pay the $4.99 for the premium app for my tablet to stream it with my Cyclones.tv subscription so I can put that off for awhile now.

It's on DISH but only *if* you have the Top 200 package or higher. The other stinger is that DISH does not push the HD broadcast like the cablecos can. Certainly somewhat better than Cy.tv over the net ... but will be disappointing for sports bars with big screens only pushing a lowly 480i image :mad: I'm expecting to hear a few complaints down at the Austin Club tailgate on our 100" projection screen connected to a DISH Tailgater.

LHN itself is not in HD, but on my guide, the channel right below it is the LHN HD alternate, and the game is listed to be on there.
 
I thought Benchwarmers added Mediacom so they could carry Cyclone.TV...at least they had it for a game in the past (maybe basketball last year).

This is my go to site for online streaming. Currently has the Iowa State game listed, but the streams won't show up until an hour before game time. Given the "exclusivity" of the TV arrangements for this game I'm interested to see if they'll be streaming it.

It completely boggles my mind that a B12 game like this isn't easily accessible on your average cable. Something needs to be done to fix that in the future.
