Does anyone know if the United Bowl will actually be on TV or not? And if so, will it actually be on DirecTV and/or Dish? What channel? For everyone, or just some?
I have heard many different stories about this topic, and I wanted to try to clarify, since this is the first broadcast one I am interested in watching.
(I know I can get it on B2, but would prefer that to be a last resort)
Thanks.

the channel guide says the game will be shown at midnight and 4 am on Altitude channel 681 this Sunday on DirecTV.

Thanks. Based on past games, do you trust that? No live showing then either?

I don't get Altitude or America One on Cox Cable here, so I'm stuck with B2.

Storm had free streaming audio, and will be the ONLY free audio available via their website siouxfallsstorm.com click on Storm Radio.. Roste might have a chat (have to sign up for a ustream acct) and a webcam on him, perhaps. I've never had an issue with B2 out of Billings.
And BC if you get a wild wild hair... PM me.. ;-)

Thanks. Based on past games, do you trust that? No live showing then either? I just got DirecTV on Friday, but based on what we've been told, no, I don't trust that. No live showing on Altitude, I don't get AmericaOne, it may be live on that. I don't even trust that the game will be played until the kickoff happens. This is indoor football, trust none of what you hear and half of what you see.

Good luck.. the stream out of Amarillo (the first round freecast) froze for me at halftime...

I had one problem with B2, sent them an E-mail and got a refund.

I've had lots of problems with B2, gotten refunds with good support as well as bad support. I don't care for them really, but I've watched a lot of games from them so you are bound to get some bad ones...but I ran into a lot of them. Away games for the Beef have also been broadcast locally from B2 at a local restaurant and the feed has cut out often and also started late due to technical problems, etc. I just think in this day and age it could be done a lot better.

Some of it depends on the Arena itself. The SC radio announcers had to use cellphones the broadcast a game from Omaha because landline was unavailable.(I think it was in 09.)

I have a problem with B2 stating "Due to technical difficulties in the Outlaws current arena a national tv broadcast can not be done." Soooo how is it going out on the B2 feed??? and is that our game in the METRA against the Storm LAST MONTH was not broadcast either? Just asking seems kind of strange to say in one paragraph you can't broadcast the game but in the next you are showing it free with what would be the same video and feed! Sounds to me like the league doesn't want to showcase the Outlaws practice facility or just doesn't want to spend the money to send a crew out here. To me it would be a positive for the league to recognize the fact the Outlaws could keep the games in Billings -- "Premier League" -- due to their elite practice facility...which is in better condition than Richmonds' Arthur Ashe Center and you can dang well bet that would have been televised had they advanced to this round!
