This is all kind of funny. I have a feeling that it will be one of those things where we'll be telling our kids all about how we remembered where we were and what we were doing when we first heard that the mtn would be on satellite!

...at the latest.

I have not read the 8 pages of this thread so pardon me if this has already been mentioned, but this deal still doesn't guarantee that every game will be televised on CSTV or the MTN does it? With the occassional exception when playing out of conference that we get a game on ESPN or TBS we could still miss some games couldn't we? It still isn't KSL or BYU-TV.

Go Cougs!!!

All I have to say is Alleluia!!!! My wife and I were fighting over what TV system we were going to get when we move from Utah. I had to get Comcast because of the Mtn. My wife hates comcast(so do I) but I was willing to succumb to watch my cougs. Now, our marriage is saved by DirectTV.

The question was, will BYU be televised. I think with the Direct tv deal, the Mtn can televise more games and make money on advertising. It might require stagger start times maybe even replays. I look forward to a slate of games each Saturday just like ESPN does. The most attractive games would get the best time slots. BYU would most likely be that choice.

I am looking forward to getting the Direct tv system. I will wait to see if the Dish is in too (I hope so).
