People all around have been having some issues finding games or have been worried they won't `keep' the games. I compliled the most common worries and got the following answers.

Reply with more issue in the thread. I'll see what I can do.

Mississippi: Hornets games will be on Fox Sports South or SportSouth, depending. They will pick up the FSNO feed, so you will see FSNO logo, broadcasters, etc. After the game, you'll see your regular channel. FSNO people will see FSSW for the time being. This content sharing is part of what makes the FSNO deal so appealing. Just keep in mind that you don't have to get FSNO to get some of the content, particularly Hornets games. Here are the markets that make up "Mississippi" for the purposes of this conversation: Biloxi+Gulfport, Jackson, Meridian, Hattiesburg, Mobile.

Dish: Dish will carry every Hornets game that FSNO covers in the Hornets territory. They will be carried in their `alternate channels', usually around 450. Wednesday's game is on ESPN, but Friday's game is on 450, per LINK / and likely your channel guide. The games will be on different channels each time, potentially, but they will all be on. You will see the FSNO broadcast, etc. This does NOT expire when the NBA League Pass Trial expires for those in the Hornets market per the terms of this deal.

Those not in the markets, your best option is NBA League Pass. Contact your provider for details.

If you are in the market and don't know how to find games, let us know or contact your provider. If your providers doesn't carry the games, complain, then inquire about changing providers.

This is per a FSNO executive. I'm just reporting back the answers from your questions.

Thanks for asking on behalf of everyone who this information is helping.

The answer may depend on your market, and I don't have that bit of data. Some Chartera had not updated their guides to show FSNO. Ignore that, ignore me, your choice.

Let me know if you have issues.

42 tell your people to contact Cameron Communication and inform them about Fox Sports New Orleans. They are playing dumb with me. Maybe they just are.

When you are done punishing that wall, let me know the situation.

You told me Cameron Commincation. Zip and locale? What's the deal? Did you have FSSW or FSH before Halloween (likely FSH)? Did you check on THAT station (30?) to see if a Hornets game was on at the correct time?

Please, ignore the guides for the time being. FSH went away and FSNO took it's place. It's the same thing from a technical perspective, just in different drapings.

Wednesday's game is on ESPN, but check Friday's game at the scheduled time no matter what the guide says.

If you do that and let me know the results, I'll take your case up.

Cool?

What about DirecTV? I live in Jackson, MS with another LA native and the games appeared blacked out. We got every Fox Sports bball game except the Hornets. It's channel 678. Any help is appreciated.

The above applies to DirecTV.

The guy explicitly said Jackson.

Did you check the channels or just believe the guide?

You have Fox Sports South? How about SportSouth?

Which of the FSN's is on channel 678?
