I just saw that Dish s-canned the Fox Sports Networks? I get all of them, or used to, as they claim Fox has asked for an outrageous sum for their channels.

Anyone else seeing this, and I suppose now I will not see the ASU game tomorrow?! :x

I just read an article. If I'm reading it right, Fox Sports NW could still be on? Not sure why certain ones are and aren't? Leverage? No one gives a shit about FSNW?

I'm getting sick of this shit. I had Cox and didn't get ABC in HD. Moved to Dish, and recently ABC Family and many Disney HD's have been removed (I have a 2 year old!). Now, the FS channels?

I don't know who is really at fault. There needs to be an alternative. I think the NCAA, NFL, NBA, etc. needs to get it together and open it up to all and shit can these networks. Let me pay a la cart for channels. Allow free on-line or something. I don't know.

Dish charges a ton of money for some basic service, if I remember right. I think it was 30% more than Comcast when I was comparing. I went with Comcast for the last two football seasons (don't watch TV outside of that) and got a good deal. $45 per month for HD, all the FSN channels, ESPN/ESPN2, Versus, and then the local sports like ACB etc. So far I've gotten the first 4 games, and I'm in Cali. I don't see how or why someone in Oregon shouldn't get this game today.

If you can't find it on TV, try http://justin.tv. It's hit and miss.

I'm actually in Nebraska. Fox Sports NW was supposed to be untouched according to Dish's site, despite the hubbub with FSN. However, it didn't record when I DVR'd it, as it said it was blacked out. I've never had that happen. I've eliminated my Fox Sports Package until they can get things squared away. The normal stations for Fox our here are Fox Sports Midwest and Fox Sports Rocky Mountain. But with the Sports Tier addition I had ALL Fox Stations nationwide, as well as come Comcast sports, etc.

Cox is our provider here. They blow. I lived in SD for a while, but I remember Time Warner not even having the FS NW at the time.

Not sure. USC win, and hopeful OSU upset of Arizona? Heisman watch (Locker). Everyone else in the country is in Bed at 7pm PST, so no one east of the Rockies will be watching it anyway (other than me).

Seems there are only 3 Pac 10 games, CAL/USC is at 12:30am, then you have UA and Wazzu (who cares what time, but is probably on FSNW or something).

Gotta show something I suppose, might as well hit a decent sized market when the rest of the country is passing out or headed to the movies on a Saturday!

People still think Jake Locker is a Heisman candidate? Did these people watch the Nebraska game??

I hope not. So many others at this time, it's a waste. But who knows.

Jake Locker is a good leader and a good runner, but he is not the best player in college football nor a first round draft pick. Maybe a 5th round pick as a LB or FB. Jeez. Peoples' obsession with "measurables" leads to insanity.
