You should also be able to get it through the app assuming your cable provider that you register with has that channel.

Having the same problem. Directv says "SC Featured" on ESPN News @ 1pm (pacific) Saturday. No mention of Uconn @ SMU on "alternates" either...

Same on Spectrum Austin, no mention of our game on Directory. Guess it was a late addition after guide came out. Hope we see it here since I can't make it up to Dallas.

Ponynut,
What I did was set a 'manual' recording for game time on ESPN News (DirecTV channel 207). Hopefully it'll be listed properly before you have to leave town. Sometimes it pops up on one of those "alternates" last minute, so keep an eye on that too. It is scheduled properly on my Apple TV (ESPN app), if you've got something like that - I'd take it w/me.

For DirecTV people, I just got off the phone w/Directv & ESPN customer support...didn't get a real answer but was told to keep an eye on channel 611 (SEC) for some reason. (Eastern Michigan/Kentucky listed). Pretty sure neither knew what they were talking about.

Also couldn't get an answer from either about why they list us as "Southern Methodist" & not "SMU". Who can we call or write about fixing that??? Any word from the school? Athletic Dept?

Last information I received from the school showed the school name to be Southern Methodist University.

I get your joke there, but it is annoying. You can set "my teams" on DTV & you find us in the AAC as "SMU" - but the networks list us as "Southern Methodist" which nobody says.

LSU, USC, TCU, etc. aren't listed as "Louisiana State", Southern California" & "Texas Cheater"...

Looks bush league if you ask me.
