Typical of ESPN !

[herbiep]

ESPN will be showing bits and pieces of Uconn game Saturday, as they skip from game to game. When they do the men's NCAA, it does not matter if they are showing, the game between "HOG HoLLOW", AND "DIRT CREEK", you will see the whole game. Who wants to watch the women's games, ESPN will decide what you watch.

 

[Wally East]

Well, to be fair, (A) you can watch the entirety of whatever game you want online and (B) at this time of year there could be as many as three other games going on at the same time while during the regular season, there's the just the one game they have scheduled.

On a related note, does anyone know if ESPN 2's HD channel will show the national feed or the local one? I couldn't find that on their site.

 

[UConnChapette]

Typically the non-HD feed carries the local game in its entirety with the HD feed doing to whip-around or games that may be more competitive.

Here are the coverage maps

Not according to ESPN site. ESPN3 is blacking it out.

Not according to ESPN site. ESPN3 is blacking it out.

Which of course they would do considering the number of available seats.

 

[CONNFAN23]

On DirecTV you can watch whatever game you want. Starting on channel 730 and going to 733 are all full live games.

Your point is well made. Coverage is not even close to the Men's coverage.

yah if you want to pay $16 a game

They should use ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU.

Maybe even the Ocho.

Good to know. I hadn't seen that anywhere.

 

[easttexastrash]

I'm willing to pay $16 for the game I really want to see. I love DTV because of their women's basketball coverage.

 

[Coler]

Actually it looks like they removed the games from blackout status, yesterday I looked and half of the games were subject to blackout, as of this morning none are.

 

[CONNFAN23]

Where are you coming up with that? I just called DirecTV and they assured me I would have all those channels included in my package {which is only the CHOICE PACKAGE} at no extra charge.

 

[meyers7]

Good to know. I hadn't seen that anywhere.

Hmmm was going to show you, but it doesn't say blacked out now.

Yea, just noticed that myself. Much better.

They must read the Boneyard.

...as viewership is not even close to the men's viewership.

 

[CONNFAN23]

Well DTV called me back and you were right it is $16 a game if you do not have full court package. Their customer service is awful and I am sorry if I confused the yard.

 

[Ozzie Nelson]

Why do some feel they are entitled to watch what they want, when they want, for a cost they determine?

Because we live in America, darn it!

 

[herbiep]

On DirecTV you can watch whatever game you want. Starting on channel 730 and going to 733 are all full live games.

At the low cost of $16.00 per game on Direct TV. 730 to 733 are pay per view.

My bracket has Hog Hollow beating Dirt Creek. But they wont get past the Mucous Membranes. That team can run!

 

[pinotbear]

..and, the Membranes play sticky defense. Hog Hollow will be sqealing for mercy, but, they'll get slaughtered.

And they put an absolute lid on the basket.

 

[Coler]

ESPN3 changed all games to be listed for ESPN3 with no subject to blackout.
