IPFW & TV

For those of you like me, if any, who are challenged by their location and TV provider, I noticed that channelsurfing.net lists the game this evening. It looks like that may be my only option.

It looks like that viewer that does not let you zoom it or get it to full screen. Anybody know if there is any way to do that if it does not have that control?

I know channelsurfing had a full-screen option last year, but I can't say what it's offering this year. Your PC settings may have something to do with it as well.

Yes I was aware of that from last year and why I asked. I believe that depending on the feed they bring up different plugin players. I have not used it much this year, but I think that some players have had the option and others don't. The one that currently comes up for me for tonight's game is one that does not seem to have it. On the other hand, sometimes the quality at full screen is so diminished that I go back to the little screen anyway.

Thanks for an answer. I will try to play around with it and if I figure anything out I will post here for future reference. Hopefully I won't have to watch many that way. I know they advise you to download a couple off-brand players but I am hesitant to do that unless I know they are safe.

If all else fails I can always get Joe and Byron and will probably do that for the audio anyway if it is in sync.

I picked up the sports channel for directV the other day and will be recording the game tonight. Sorry you can not get it but maybe you need to look into DirctV. They have some nice deals and you only need to get the sports channels for the months basketball is going.

I wish somebody could get the game.

Unfortunately DirectTV is not an option in my circumstances. Fortunately I do get everything but the few FSOH games that get preempted here.

I'd like to see XU roll all over the fighting Dane Fife's from IPFW.....anyone else remember how annoying he was when he played at IU? Or worse, his brother at Michigan post Fab 5 era?

I am not seeing tonight's game listed at channelsurfing. Could someone help me figure out where it is, or has it been taken off of the schedule?

It was on there all day but it seems to have been taken off. The link to the player earler was:

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-xavier.html

But the test pattern says Minneapolis.

Lucky for me I checked the "alternate" Fox Sports Ohio channel on my cable provider (TWC Mid-Ohio) and it does have the XU pregame show with Steve Wolf, while the regular channel, as advertised has the Blue Jackets. So hopefully will see it on the "big screen"! :D

Listening to Byron right now and he said Brown is suited up but thinks he likely will not play.
