Is there any tv at all for tonight's game?

[Kori Ellis]

Dallas TV?

Anything?

[jalbre6]

The usual two stations in Dallas are not showing the game tonight...I guess due to the Series. If you want pictures, I'm going, though my seats are ty.

[pooh]

Watch the World Series...or Grizzlies vs Pacers. I will!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

on direct tv.... channel 97 says "upcoming: spurs @ mavericks" so they might show the game on that channel.... but either way its a weird channel to have the game on.... maybe they are showin it in highdef or somethin... that would be tight

[pooh]

Are you sure that's on Directv? All I see is MLB Baseball on a channel 88. But it doesn't show anything. I think it's for digital subscribers.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

well i have the high def package.... but check channel 97 at 7:30, its showin up for me.... i dont know if the game will be broadcasted or not but it says it is

[grjr]

Remember, the Mavs' high def schedule is subject to change.

So he's saying the game will only be shown to those in Texas and NOT in the Houston or San Antonio viewing area. ALTHOUGH, there's a blurb about the game being a freeview on DirectV's website, but it does say subject to blackout.

If I had to guess, I would say the game will be blacked out to SA DirecTV viewers. But it's worth taking a peek to make sure.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

so does that mean that dallas has there own high def broadcast?? if true thats pretty awesome... it'd be nice if the spurs would do somethin like that, even though im sure the cost would be high

[Slomo]

Does this mean no play by play in the chat tonight?

There should be quite a few Spurs games in HD here in San Antonio this year. They are shown by FoxSportsNet HD and are on channel 150 for TWC HD subscribers. Seems like they had about 6 or 8 games on last year. Maybe more, I don't remember for sure.

Remember that Cuban made one of the earliest Internet $B's by selling broadcast.com.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Mavs had some special high-tech connections and projects.

The Spurs high tech angle ..... KRRT !! )

[Kori Ellis]

Right now channel 97 has a PPV symbol in the upper right hand corner on the guide for the game. Does that mean it's actual PPV? Or since I have the HD package, I'll get the game?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Cuban also own HDNet, doesn't he?

[Kori Ellis]

Yes.

[pooh]

Yeah you'll get the game if it has the $ sign...and also if you have the HD package. All NBA pre-season games that are televised via Directv are shown for free up until the end of the first week of the season.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Cuban also own HDNet, doesn't he?

someone should tell him that HDNet SUCKS!!!!!! tell him to put some real movies on that channel... or some real games

[timvp]

Damn it. Now it doesn't show the game on that channel. Has anyone else had any luck finding where this game will be aired?

[timvp]

Anyone?

[Kori Ellis]

Directv says it's blacked out in San Antonio Two hours ago I called them and they said I'd have it for sure.

[Ginofan]

The only channel I see having it is 97...but like you guys already know it's HD only. Being that it's in Dallas I can't see why it would be blacked out here...

[Kori Ellis]

We have HD. We have channel 97. But it's not on.

I guess we should have read this more carefully.

You should have access to these games if:

you live within the local broadcast television territory for the Dallas Mavericks (most of Texas outside of Spurs and Rockets TV territory), and you are signed up to receive HDNet from DIRECTV, DISH ...

I figured since I called and I held for 15 minutes while they checked earlier today, that when they said it would be on - it would be on.

[boutons]

is on internet radio somewhere?

[grjr]

Clueless CSR's. Takes a long time for the correct information to get to Pakistan.

[Kori Ellis]

I don't trust them at all now. First the Yankee game, now this. I kept repeating, are you SURE it's going to be on for me? She even went to check with the supervisor and they assured me, yes.
