Direct TV Question! help!

[Bosqueville]

We got on Direct TV about a month ago. Our Fox Sports Southwest did not show the 6- man state games. They had A&M basket ball on. Am I screwed this weekend?

The 6 man games were online streams only.

Well the first problem you have is Direct TV............but as long as the wind doesn't blow, or some rain light rain fall, or even God forbid, the sun shine............you might have a chance to see the games:thumbsup: Now if all of those happen at exactly the same time.............you will probably be ok!!!

Remember, if you are wanting to watch the 2A DI & DII games Thursday night, those are going to be on the alternate channel. I have Dish, and that channel is 440 for me.

If you had a good installer and the job was done properly, you should never have any problems in bad weather... Mine never goes out..

We have yet to have a problem with the signal. Now what is the alternate channel for Direct?

[pancho villa]

Get DISH it is much better

Get DISH it is much better

Dish of sopapillas maybe.

Direct is better, with the bigger football shaped parabolic HD antenna dish.

According this press release here's the Fox Sports Southwest coverage plans:

Thurs., Dec.19
10:00 a.m 1A Division I FOX Sports Southwest
1:00 p.m. 1A Division II FOX Sports Southwest
4:00 p.m. Ford Championship Live FOX Sports Southwest
5:00 p.m. 2A Division I FOX Sports Southwest Plus1
8:00 p.m. 2A Division II FOX Sports Southwest Plus1

Friday, Dec. 20
Noon 3A Division I FOX Sports Southwest
3:00 p.m. Ford Championship Live FOX Sports Southwest
4:00 p.m. 3A Division II FOX Sports Southwest
7:00 p.m. Ford Championship Live FOX Sports Southwest/FSSW Plus2
8:00 p.m. 4A Division I FOX Sports Southwest/FSSW Plus 2

Saturday, Dec. 21
Noon 4A Division II FOX Sports Southwest
3:00 p.m. Ford Championship Live FOX Sports Southwest
4:00 p.m. 5A Division I FOX Sports Southwest
7:00 p.m. Ford Championship Live FOX Sports Southwest/FSSW Plus2
8:00 p.m. 5A Division II FOX Sports Southwest/FSSW Plus2
11:00 p.m. High School Scoreboard Live FOX Sports Southwest



Note in particular the 4A Division 1 and 5A Division 2 games are listed as being on FSSW Plus 2.

According to the eventual reply (I had to press hard and exchange 6 emails before getting an answer), "Since you have stated that the game you are looking to watch is not included in the guide information then the network has decided not to provide us the access to air the game for our customers on FOX Sports Southwest plus as it is only available on FOX Sports Southwest Plus2 and is not a channel carried by DIRECTV. "

So DirecTV customers will be denied the access to see these 2 state title games.

I urge you to call DirecTV to complain of this decision on their part that these games are "available to all video providers that carry FOX Sports Southwest."

Please also use all means you have to inform the Texas media of this decision on the part of DirecTV.

We`ve got Direct TV. Really like it. Some times I`ll call them and raise hell about nothing and they`ll give me a discount for a few months.
