Pacers on Fox Sports Midwest?

Orlock78 · Post #1 » by **Orlock78** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 6:07 pm

Sorry to start a whole thread for this, but I am really excited. I live in Oklahoma City and just switched to a cable provider that carries Fox Sports Midwest (St. Louis, and a general one) I know in the past Pacer games were on one of these channels, but also know that they now have a fox sports Indiana. My question is, will i finally be able to see Pacer games???? God I hope so. I didn't get to watch one single game last year. Thanks in advance for everyones help.

You are in for a BIG disappointment.

I live in Missouri, and I also get Fox Midwest out of St. Louis. In years past, Fox Midwest has run tons of ads for upcoming Pacers broadcasts...but those broadcasts are not shown throughout the Midwest, only in markets close to Indiana, apparently.

Seeing those ads, but never the games, is an excruciating form of torture. Especially since the national networks have all forgotten that the Pacers still exist.

I didn't get to see a single game last year, either. It really sucks!!! And my worthless cable company won't carry NBA Live. About the only thing you can do is subscribe to NBA Audio, then at least you can listen to the games on your computer.

Don't know why it took so long for FSIN. This channel only seems to function during Pacer games. I don't really care as long as the Pacers are live.

DOH!!! I swear I'm never going to get to see a pacer game again. how much does it cost again for the expensive service where you can see all the games online?

the only way you are going to watch them is you are going to have to get directv and they are the only one that carries fox sports indiana

It sucks, in Indy we used to get Cardinals games. Now we get Reds games. They should switch back to the Cardinals, there were probably quadruple the amount of viewers. Jerks.

I willingly shell out $50 to get NBA League Pass broadband to watch games on my computer.

is that what it costs? just 50 bucks?

Fifty bucks a month, I think.

Having just looked on nba.com, I see that they are now offering visual broadcast for computers, separate from broadcast for TV...that might actually work for me, in the past it was only available through satellite TV providers like DirecTV, which I don't have. I'm going to have to look into it once we get closer to the start of the season, although I'd sure rather be able to watch the games on TV than on computer screen. Not sure that computer access only is worth $50/month. Then again, beggars can't be choosers.

I can't figure out why my colors aren't working in that edit.

I love having the games on Fox Sports but they really need to up the ante on their coverage. The video quality is almost as bad as it used to be watching the games on Channel 4, with the bunny ear antenna on the tv.
