Re: UI vs NIU Football, Live, Dish Network<br>
<br>
UI 14, NIU 3<br>
<br>
UI just scored after several plays following an interception!<br>
<br>
A day or two ago I wrote, wondering if Dish Network's Ch-429 CSNCH,<br>
Comcast Sports Network Chicago, would permit me to view the UI-NIU<br>
game, because I was not permitted then to view the programming<br>
content on that date.<br>
<br>
Well, it is live on my TV now. The cost, $5.99/month for a number of<br>
add-on sports channels, which includes the one of interest today.<br>
<br>
Add it by going to the web, logging-in to your Dish Network account,<br>
then go to Programming, then add the $5.99/month sports package.<br>
<br>
For my case, their Dish Network computer and their satellite had my<br>
Dish box enabled within a few minutes.<br>
<br>
There is a $24 alternative. I am running this $24 experiment right now.<br>
On Dish, it is ESPNU Gameplan on Ch-463, today. $24 is less than two<br>
General Admission tickets to a Kibbie Dome game. But this is only for<br>
this game, like buying a very expensive Pay Per View movie.<br>
<br>
Program content is identical except that oddly, the $5.99/month<br>
CSPCH 429 Channel is slightly crisper, visually, as by comparing the<br>
text in the screen-top banners.<br>
<br>
And both are recordable; no apparent restrictions.<br>
