Iowa vs Ohio St Game, Not available in HD in Southeast

[IlliniChuck]

I am trying to watch the Iowa - tOSU game on ESPN HD and it says it blacked out. Why am I paying for HD if they are blacking it out? I know its available on 145. I called a friend and he is watching in HD on his Bright House Networks ESPN HD in Orlando. Whats the deal?

Check your local ABC. I'm also seeing the "black out" message on 145, but my local ABC has the game.

Dish Network chose to show the Miami / NC game on ESPN, ch. 140, instead of the IA / OH State game. Since the Miami game is probably being broadcast on the local ABC station in the Southeast, this would cause your blackout.

Local ABC is showing the game he doesn't want to see. This sucks for me also. Dumb decision on Dish' part. And just another finger to sports fans we get almost daily.

Is it possible ABC (network) says affiliate WWWW (whatever your local is) is supposed to carry the Iowa/OSU game, but WWWW has decided (for whatever reason) to carry the other game? Just thinking Dish might be getting info from ABC (network) but the local affiliate is going against network wishes.

My local affiliate has been advertising the Miami game all week.

I will still blame it on Dish since they refuse to show SEC network games in HD on the FSN channels, but they dedicate 14 freakin HD feeds to the Texas game. :|
