ESPN Regional Round TV Schedule - Lots of Tape Delay on ESPNU

Re: ESPN Regional Round TV Schedule - Lots of Tape Delay on ESPNU

fyi

NCAA Television Silent Blackout Policy. The NCAA does not implement local blackouts for NCAA championships; however, a "silent" blackout may be implemented until 24 hours prior to the start of the televised championship for regions within a 50-mile radius of the championship. A "silent" blackout restricts the television station from announcing that it has obtained the rights or promoting the broadcast on any medium (e.g., newspapers, television, radio, Internet.). If the "silent" blackout is broken, the NCAA maintains the right to cancel the broadcast. The blackout policy does not apply to Turner, CBS or ESPN telecasts

That not true at all. ESPN has given there broadcast to Fox in the past. FS North has in the past pick up Gophers regional games, with the ESPN style production.

ESPN looks at giving games to Fox as a last resort. They've tried many times -- as cited by others in this thread -- to circumvent FS affiliates from airing these games in recent years.

The year they gave it to Victory Sports was 2004. SO FS North had 2 regional first round games long after Victory Sports was no more.

I going to have to refresh your memory. But the 2007 West Regional first round game between Minnesota and Air Force did air on FS North, and also so did the 2006 west regional first round game vs Holy Cross. I not that dumb and i know what did air on FS North and what did not.

Oh yeah and FS North did broadcast the 2009 Northeast regional game between North Dakota and Yale.

and 1 more that i remember, 2008 Northeast regional BC vs Minnesota was air on FS North.

I don't care how many they've had. They gave the games to the phantom sports network on purpose that year and their policy hasn't changed. Fox will get the games as the VERY LAST RESORT. I expect I will have to watch it on my computer. Thank God I have Comcast.

Greene's. It helps that I have 12 TVs and we actually show almost every sport. A lot of lacrosse fans, golf fans on the weekends, NASCAR, soccer, as well as, the normal baseball, football, hockey, basketball. We're the only bar in the county with NHL Center Ice, MLB Extra Innings, and some other obscure channels using both Time Warner and DirecTV.
 
Re: ESPN Regional Round TV Schedule - Lots of Tape Delay on ESPNU

While we're waiting to find out what other outlets will be picking up the games, for those who have an Xbox 360 (and a cable carrier that has ESPN3 access), that's the easiest way of getting the ESPN3 feed on your HDTV. Picture quality depends on the source, but when ESPN streams an HD feed through it, it's actually really good. Beyond that, I don't know if the Ruku box has ESPN3 on it, but some other "media center" type boxes do.

That's the point...some of us DON'T HAVE a "cable" provider, because we have DirecTV. We can't see ESPN3. It's not just whether or not you have Comcast - it's ANY cable provider. I checked the "guide" on DirecTV last night (you can forward ahead to a specific date). I didn't see ANY of the college hockey games on any of the Fox network channels (a couple said "To Be Announced"). And what really sucks is that EVERY regional game except the ones from the West Regional are on one of the ESPN channels, but because, as I said before, the BU/Minnesota game is an "overlap" game (on at essentially the same time as the BC/Air Force game) it is not on.
 
Re: ESPN Regional Round TV Schedule - Lots of Tape Delay on ESPNU

Relax chickod, these things will shake out, if you have dish network or directv, with the sports pack, you will be able to see every game live if you want. Altitude already announced it will be picking up du vs fsu, but I bet that isn't in your guide yet, right?
 
Re: ESPN Regional Round TV Schedule - Lots of Tape Delay on ESPNU

Before recently my ISP didn't support ESPN3, but I had a novel work-around. My computer at work would get ESPN3 because it was on an internet backbone. I could use my home ISP to remote desktop to my work machine and run ESPN3 on the work machine. Yes, I'd run ESPN3 on my work machine, remote the desktop to a laptop at home, and then patch the laptop monitor (HDMI) to a hi-def TV. It worked, but it was left-handed.

Now my ISP supports ESPN3. I just stream to the laptop and connect that via DisplayPort to the hi-def plasma. :D

Excellent. Trying to remember but does Directv pick up the HD feed for FSN+? I think I saw some Gopher games on an alternate channel (in HD) a few times recently.

Altitude is picking up the DU-Ferris game, FSN and FSN+ have the 3 other syndicated games so you're all set. The Directv program guide won't reflect any of that until later in the week typically.

I'd also say it's likely NESN will pick up the BU-Minnesota game since it's a 5pm start and the Bruins don't start until 9 (on the west coast) that night, but again, looks like you're already covered if you have Directv anyway.

Re: ESPN Regional Round TV Schedule - Lots of Tape Delay on ESPNU

here you go:
The 4 syndicated games can be found as follows:

Denver vs Ferris State - Altitude (Dish 410, Directv 681)
Western Michigan vs North Dakota - FSNorth (Dish 436, Directv 668)
Boston University vs Minnesota - FSNorth+ (Dish 444/9514, Directv 658)
Maine vs Minnesota-Duluth - FSNorth+ (Dish 444/9514, Directv 658)

The rest of the games are on ESPNU (Dish 148, Directv 208)
AND all the games are available on ESPN3 which can be seen using an xbox 360 with an xbox live gold subscription and the proper internet provider.

There, that's all we need to watch the games.

For list of where to find FSNorth+ if you don't have Dish Network or Directv check out this link: http://www.foxsportsnorth.com/pages/fsnorth_plus/

New England folks: BU has confirmed the game on Saturday will be broadcast live on HD on NESN

I don't think FSN has had an NCAA hockey broadcast on its airs since that year and that would have been 5 or 6 years ago.

Victory Sports was trying to grow in 2004 and they were an ESPN affiliate? Of course ESPN is going to give them the feed.
