It's been 15 years since I used cable. I am too far out to get good digital signals via antennae.

Dish is fighting with WGNO and no LSU game Saturday. It is not right that cable can carry more than one market of locals and satellites can not but that is the business they are in.

Moving back to Charter unless you guys have a better solution.

Is there a way to watch the ABC feed of the game online?

Where do you live? Can you not set up an antenna?

Just far enough away from BR and NO that the antenna will not pick up the digital signals through the tall pines.

If it's ABC, won't it be on WatchESPN?

You do know it could also happen with charter.. They were in a rate disputes last year with local channels.

But Charter serves up BR and NO locals in our market so you get two feeds of each of the networks.

I don't think watchESPN is going to have it.

They are going to show it Sunday morning as a recast. No live cover on their schedule.

I would bet money you can make or find an antenna that can catch everything, if you're willing to do some work and put it on your roof.

My Roku shows LSU vs Wis. @ 2:30 on ESPN3 on the WatchESPN app.

I have Directv and haven't had my local NBC or ABC stations for about a month due to a dispute. DTV turned them off the night before the Olympics started.

I think you're confusing the re-air of their 2014 matchup, which is being shown Saturday morning...they are streaming the live game
