A channel or network that doesn't require some super top secret subscription to receive if you live in a certain geography in the US and is not subject to blackout. Or something like that.
I've watched every televised game on cable...CSS HD looks very nice...watching the UAB replay right now.

Was told if Tigers were #1 seed we would play NIGHT game. Friday's semi's on CBS Sports and Saurday championship game on CBS national.
I think that is incorrect, they will put Tulsa in the night session regardless of their seed. So we will play at night if we are on their side of the bracket.
Not according to Lamar Chance. They want Memphis at night for ratings-CBS Sports has first choice on games.

RE: When are the Tigers on Real TV again
There are only 3 games that arent on regular cable/satallite. If you have Direct TV the only games you shouldnt be able to see are Rice, East Carolina, and Houston . The rest of the games are either on Fox Sports South/SportSouth/CBS College Sports & Xavier on ESPN 2. I dont know know about the rest of you but I have those channels.

CBS Sports (Channel 613 on Directv) is a fairly major network. CBS has upgraded it and if you have sports pak ($5 mo) you will get it (no blackouts). I suspect that is where the New BE will be.

RE: When are the Tigers on Real TV again
However with CSS there are channels on Direct TV that you cant get. CSS maybe airs 5 Tiger games a year. The rest are on SportSouth/Fox Sports/CBS CS or the ESPNS.

When it comes to coverage and exposure, if you are not on ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, Fox or ABC it is pretty much the same as not being on TV. It's fine for the fans of their particular school if their team is on CBS Sports or NBC Sports or CSS or SportSouth because at least you can watch them play, but no one else is watching.

If you just want to watch the game, why do you care who else is watching?

Tried to respond to your PM but it said you had PM disabled.
Directv is getting like Comcast. Went to my account (which is Premier and includes sports pak) but before i signed in it showed the sports pak at 12.99 mo. It was around 5.99 a year or two ago. Call customer retention and tell them you are moving to cable unless they give you a reasonable price for the sports pak and I bet they will do it.
I've been with them since 1996 and have to threaten to move to cable toget anything done.

Did see a reference to Memphis-Harvard on several channels but wonder if that will just be a tease, only to be blocked come game time...
The Harvard game is a nationwide FSN production ( like the Louisville game) some of the others have been FS-South/SportSouth productions that a few FSNs picked up.
I've never seen a FSN college game blacked out. The ones blacked out are Comcast Sports Network games out of market.
RSN for the Harvard game
FOX Sports Arizona
FOX Sports Cincinnati
FOX Sports Detroit
FOX Sports Florida
FOX Sports Midwest
FOX Sports North PLUS
FOX Sports Ohio
SportSouth

On the bright side, whenever the NHL isn't having a hockey night in Canada, we'll have dibs on NBC Sports in 2016!

I would like the program to get as much exposure as possible. What's wrong with that?

I thought I had that, maybe not. That was my beef Gotta pay my bill on line, I'll ask around.
I wish someone would come out with ala carte programming. 500 channels and you can't see what you want to see, for the most part.

I have Direct TV Choice Xtra. Should I upgrade my overall package or get a sports package? If I upgrade overall it's about $6 extra per month but I'm not sure it includes all the channels I need. The only sports package I see is the "Direct Tv sports pack" and it's 12.99 a month and again I'm unsure this is what I need to see the majority of games. I'm just a little confused because some are saying $5 and some are saying $10.
I think I'm just going to order Penthouse and be done with it....Geeezz! Ha!
