Hockey game on Comcast
In yesterday's UV post, Brian mentioned the game will be on channel 900 through Comcast, but I'm wondering if this is just Ann Arbor area? I'm in Philly and the channel listings don't even show a channel 900. Does anyone know if Comcast is only giving those in Ann Arbor the ability to watch it?
Not sure, but it should be on ESPN360.com if you get that... otherwise i think it'll be on ESPNU (but a few hours delayed) Anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Usually, events on channel 900 are just local. If you receive your internet through Comcast, then you should automatically get the game on ESPN360.

Try the link to see if the video works for you.
and I think our local Comcast is 200 (CSNHD), which is showing the Flyers game, so you would have to use ESPN360.
Ahhh, gotcha. Looks like I'm heading to a bar that has ESPNU for the tape delay version since watching online doesn't sound all that appealing to me....plus I have a number of friends looking to watch it.
Thanks for the help everyone!
if they have satellite, they can probably show it live from one of the other feeds on Fox Sports North...
you can hook up your computer to your TV (HDMI, S-Video, or PC out). ESPN360 actually comes in pretty well this way.
I saw the Spring game this way last year.
If anyone is interested who doesn't have ESPNU

This is from mgoblue.com:
Comcast (Michigan) - channel 900
MASN (Baltimore/DC) - DirecTV #640, Dish #432
FSN North (Minnesota) - DirecTV #668, Dish #43
ESPNU will be airing the Michigan vs. Bemidji State game on tape delay on March 27 at 11:30 p.m. ESPN360.com will stream the game live. Should U-M advance, the Midwest Regional final will be aired on ESPNU at 8 p.m. on March 28.
FWIW, and this is mostly for the Capital area folks, I went to masnsports.com and there was no mention of covering the game. Thus, I don't know how accurate the mgoblue stuff is.
Just as a fair warning to everyone waiting for the tape delay....one of the regional finals will be on before the tape delay and thus, if it goes into OT, the tape delay gets delayed even further...and make sure you have your ears plugged because I'm sure they'll be giving the scores from the earlier games (i.e. Michigan-BSU)
bought concert tickets for Saturday night. In my defense I bought them two months ago when it looked like Michigan wouldn't even sniff the tournament.
I hope my hotel has ESPNU... I should be getting back right about the time it starts.
I should ask before I agree to get a room.
The game IS being carried on MASN. I just called up their office and the programming lady said they were carrying the game (although she couldn't figure out how to pronounce 'Bemidji').
