any other people have dish and no cbs? have you figured out how to get the games this weekend? i called dish and they have given me free game plan, multisport package and ect..but, they tell me the state-am and lsu-bama game are not available even with PPV. friends are telling me we cant even pick up cbs over the air because we are too far away from the stations. any help?

I am in the same boat but I streamed espn3 last Saturday to watch it. There are also some euro sites that allow free streaming but you usually have to download a media player that supports the format.

Bar? Honkytonk? "Borrow "an antenna from Walmart.

Last weeks game was on the sec network which is part of ESPN. Saturday's game is on CBS and I'm not sure if ESPN streams CBS games.

Same with Dish. It went out sometime after How I Met Your Mother on Monday, fortunately.

i dont think they are streaming these games saturday. the bar and honky tonk idea was used last weekend. i think the borrowed antenna idea is what im going with. anybody find out anything else about the games, let me know.

Coachdaddy, thanks for heads up on this - called Dish and used the key words (17, Comcast, Direct TV, Uverse and some more 17s). Got free ESPN game plan plus Al Jazeera sports package added for free! They wouldn't budge on the playboy channel tho.......

WCBI is out for everybody from satellite to rabbit ears. Something has broken at the station and they are having to order parts. I just wonder if they were told someone would be out there Friday sometime between the hours of 9:00AM and 3:00PM.

Got Directv and cancelled Dish yesterday. I told her CBS was the reason, and she said she could tell me how to easily get it over the air. I said no thanks, and then she started knocing big chunks off my bill and adding free programming. Too bad I had already got Directv.

Been dealing with this crap for about a month now. Luckily I can pick up the local CBS over the air, but it can freeze/choppy at times. I'm about ready to drop Dish because of it. I called and got a measely $5 month credit.

I will add that the CBS sports ap is free (I think) and works fine...I watched AU and TAMU a few weeks ago on my phone while hunting.

Harry, glad to help bro. They should just show the game on the jumbo torn on away games and charge 10.00 or so and donate the proceeds to catch a dream. Anyway I'm going old school antenna and hope that works will update everybody

go to Walmart and buy an antenna. They stream hi-def CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC over the air.

The manager of wcbi was on Dick and Wyatt tonight and said the parts would be coming in the morning and should be repaired tomorrow. Also said they will carry hogs and bears to the end before they switch to State A&M.

Amazing when I was at state the only channels were wcbi4 and wtva9 over the air. No abc station. The dark ages.

Hack- I hope it's that simple.

it is. I'm almost to the point of using Hulu, Netflix, XBox, and antenna for my TV instead of paying for cable. The HD antennas aren't cheap, but it's free programming once you pay for the antenna.
