TV for Saturday's game...

by Auricursine on Aug 31, 2010 4:27 PM PDT

Having traded DirecTV for Verizon Fios, I'm now discovering that Fios doesn't carry Comcast Sportsnet Bay Area. :o( OTOH, it goes get Versus, FWIW but that doesn't really help me at this point.

Anyway, any possibility to see the game on-line via outlets like Justin TV or can the game be ordered on-line somehow? Or, is there some way to order the game through Verizon?

I suppose it's karmic payback for preferring an all-inclusive internet/phone/TV package versus my ability to see Cal sports. :oP

if you check the game thread during the game, people may post links to the streams

I would also try ESPN3.com or atdhe.net

Just logged on to ESPN3.com to see their list of games for Saturday…and it looks like that outlet is not carrying the UC Davis game. (Insert comment about scheduling!)
Hopefully I’m not SOL…but I better prepare.

There should be a stream for the game. Atdhe.net will have to have a stream for the game or maybe Comcast will have a stream.

Go to a bar! Go to a friend's house! Go to an enemy's house who's not planning on watching the UCLA/K State game!!

Whittier, CA, where I live, is Ground Zero for the type of U$c fan you find in SoCal who roots for that team because there’s no other pro football team to root for…it’s not as if they graduated from anything. :oP

I’m chuckling thinking of the bartender’s response when I ask him to show the UC Davis game. ;o)

I, too am from Whittier, and am saddened that the “closest” bar showing the game is all the way in Santa Monica. Where’s the Orange County Cal love?

The local club isn’t planning its first viewing party until the Colorado game:
Sat, Sept 11, 2010
Kick-off: 12:30 pm
Location: The Ranch Sports Grill- 27412 Antonio Pkwy, Ladera Ranch CA 92694. (949) 429-7737
http://web.me.com/theranchsportsgrill/theranchsportsgrill/Home.html

This restaurant is co-owned by Mike Montgomery.

A lot of good that does me for this week, though. :oP

Thanks for the heads up. But yikes, Ladera Ranch is quite a drive too….sigh.

I also am looking forward to answers for this thread because I live in the Seattle area and I doubt anyone shows the game here.

In other words, Go Bears!

That’s too bad bars won’t put it on even if they have DirecTV and can access CSN CA

Auricursine— Used to live in LA and ran mostly w/ SC fans; definitely understand what it’s like to root for a team for reasons other than “they’re the best”

by calbeers05753 on Aug 31, 2010 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions

DirecTV across the country can access CSNCA? Do you happen to know what channel? I thought that was an exclusive comcast channel. I’m in Minnesota and have comcast which doesn’t broadcast CSNCA but I know people who have directTV who probably would let me come over if they indeed got the channel.

According to DirecTV’s programming guide, you should be able to watch the game

Go bears!

Nice. Thanks for the info. This sounds like a better option than streaming to my computer.

I honestly preferred the Huntington Beach Brewing Company, but I understand why they’d want to throw some love MIke Mo’s way…still, the Brewing Company is SO much closer…

CSN CA is in the 600s on my DirecTV (698 I think), along with all the other regional sports channels. I assumed you can in fact get it everywhere if the person has the correct subscription, don’t know that for a fact

Years of rooting for Cal prepared me for the last decade and a half of rooting for the Orioles. :o)

Denver or Boulder?

The betrothed Baha’i Women and i are leaving Davis (!) for a wedding this Saturday, arriving at just about kick-off – of the game, not the wedding. Anyone know of viewing opportunities in Denver? Boulder? My infertile imagination?

by Baha'i Men on Sep 1, 2010 2:23 PM PDT reply actions

Anyone know if prd is carrying this game for sure? Not sure how else I’ll be able to watch.

by nickle on Sep 2, 2010 7:52 AM PDT reply actions

New York Time Warner

Anyone have any idea if you can watch the game in New York on Time Warner? Is there some channel that carries CSN CA games like FSN or ESPN 20?

(I already know which Cal bars are carrying the game, just want to DVR the game so I can replay Vereen’s 80+ yard TD)

by Rbbid on Sep 2, 2010 12:50 PM PDT reply actions

help!

i’m a total cable rookie. i just got direct tv and live on the east coast. i told direct tv i want to see every cal game and they recommended espn gameday, but the pac 10 still has that lame agreement with fsn, right? anyone know the cheapest and easiest way to get every cal game with direct tv?

by need4jahvid on Sep 3, 2010 5:12 PM PDT reply actions

west coast directv always had the abc games regionally so i’m not sure if you’ll be getting those. if not you’ll have shell out for the gameplan which is pretty expensive.

otherwise, you should just add the sports pack which is like 10 bucks a month. that gives you the comcast sportsnet stuff. a lot of pac10 games (including cal’s) are on FSN and i think this year is versus back? not sure but you might want to check if FSN games are regional. if not, the sports pack usually gives you the out of region games as well (for instance, i was getting a lot of washington games b/c i think fsn has a fsn northwest channel).

summary: get the sports pack since most games not covered nationally should be covered there for pretty cheap. gameplan if you MUST get every single cal game but it’s super expensive.

by nickle on Sep 4, 2010 1:19 AM PDT up reply actions

thanks for dropping some serious knowledge on me! if only i could get all instructions in life in 2 short paragraphs with a digest summary at the bottom. sports packin’ it for now.
