PING: Internet Miracle Workers

[MJ4H]

Due to the fact that we are constantly getting screwed by Fox Sports around here, I would like to be able to find a way to watch Fox Sports SOUTH online via sopcast, or tvu, or whatever you guys have for me.

This is so ridiculous. They keep putting the Arkansas basketball games on Fox Sports South even though everyone in Arkansas gets Fox Sports Southwest. We have had to miss several games this year because of this BS and it is happening again today.

Can anyone help?

Yeah, I get screwed w/ DISH cause I get stuck with the Youngstown Local market, but get with Fox Sports Pittsburgh. Whereas ideally I'd want Pittsburgh Locals and Fox Sports Ohio(cavs).

FWIW, you're supposed to be getting them, or at least today's game anyway, on FSN-SW in the state of Arkansas.

I suspect that someone somewhere isn't flipping the switch that would split your programming, either at the cable system or (less likely) at the FSNSW controls. And if you're on satellite instead of cable then I believe you get the primary feed on the regular channel & only sometimes get the alternate feed on an Alt channel.

Yeah this has happened at least 5 times this season. We won't be getting the game unless something has changed. It may be that we are supposed to get it, but we don't. I'm on DISH, FWIW. Cable guys get it, DISH guys don't.

I guess I will hope you are right, because it sure doesn't look like this internet thing is going to happen. I appreciate the help, guys. This is a monster game for us today.

I think that's not accidental, that's something that's controlled by the various agreements that allowed the locals & regionals to be included on the satellites. Basically the cable systems have a better lobby than Dish/Direct.

[MJ4H]

I don't think it's accidental either. It fucking sucks not being able to watch the game, either way.

[GoldenEagle]

I think you buy the Regional Sports Network package on DISH.

[MJ4H]

Oh I know how to buy it. Shouldn't have to, though.

[MJ4H]

Hopeful bump??

Sorry, the only thing I'm good at finding on the internet is porn.

[MJ4H]

Exactly as I feared. No fucking game anywhere on DISH. Fuck this is bullshit. Tried as hard as I could all day to find a stream. No luck there either. Fuck me in the ass.

Fuck me in the ass.
:confused:

I actually finally did find a stream just after the game started. www.magicalinks.info is pretty freaking cool, for the record.
