I have Dish Network and live in Arizona. Is there availability of this game live on Dish Network? I understand that BYUTV will be re-broadcasting it on Saturday night.

If my understanding is correct, there will be a live simulcast on KBYU. So if you get KBYU you can watch it there but it also will be on Fox Sports Pacific or ROOT TV. I believe that is channel 414 on DISH.

It won't be live on ROOT TV. It will only be live on the pacific region's FSN channel. If you have that channel it is 409 on Dish Network. Your options with Dish Network for watching the game live is channel 11-KBYU or channel 409-Fox Sports Pacific. If you don't have either of those channels it will be rebroadcast on 9403-BYUTV and 414-ROOT TV. (I believe channel 445 is the HD alternate channel for ROOT TV.)



I think if you are outside of Utah you can still watch the game live on the internet with OSU's internet broadcast that costs $10. In my opinion that is better than having to wait until later to watch a rebroadcast.



This article has good info on the TV coverage:

So, the sports package I cancelled from DirecTV, which I had in order to watch the BYU games on the mtn would have allowed me to watch this game on Fox Sports Pacific. But since I cancelled the Sports package, no can do. :angry:



I guess I'll be content with watching on delay on byutv, in regular definition. Bummer.

You can add back the package but you would have to keep it for a month. I am debating it. It is $13 for a month.

Sports pack is just 12.99 a month, you could get it for this game, and have it for an month, then cancel it.... Not a bad deal for this weekend's game in HD, plus some extras.



I live in Utah and will get the game on KBYU in standard def, but I am thinking of ordering the sports pack for the month just to get the game in HD. I think it will be worth it.

I just found out this is included in standard def in the sports package with cox cable in Arizona (which I have so I can watch fox business news rather than for sports). 12.99 for HD. Hmm. Tough choice.

I'm banking on a JTV stream.

I'll be at the ocean with the youth of the ward (sometimes it really sucks to live in central California)... the replay fits perfectly into my schedule.

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't some of the newer TV's pick up the signal for KBYU in HD? The reason I ask is, because with my TV I have extended cable (It sucks, it comes with my HOA fee so I might as well use the cable) Channel 2-88 however if I go up to the 132-1 through 135-14 I pick up all the local channels in HD along with BYUTV and KBYU in HD. Check it out, your TV may pick that up as well if you live locally.
