You know what the biggest disappointment to me is that why does dUMb have 6 out of 10 games on Root and the rest are relegated to 2 or 3 max? A ploy to help boost enrollment at the community college?

Yeah, our only game on Root is Cat griz.

What station will the game be on in Helena? I'm normally watching in Billings but wondering how I can find it in Helena.

It will be on either the local Fox or ABC affiliate.

I live in state so I would love to have all the games on SWX. I dumped satellite TV about 3 years ago because I was tired of paying $90+ a month for crappy tv. So I’m pissed when the games are on Root. But as others have mentioned a viable streaming option would be a good alternative.

Super frustrated with Cowles Media/Direct TV....The Griz game is on 4 channels right now yet we can't get any CAT games...hmmm.
That is because the Griz are in Root today. They have the same problems as us.

We have 5 minutes in real life and 10:52 football time.

This may not be good

A few years ago I dumped DirecTV for PlayStation Vue (maybe it's just called Sony Vue now? Not sure) and have never regretted it. It's live TV streamed over the internet so you need the bandwidth to pull it off. I mostly use it through the Roku player, but also the app on my phone or just through a web browser on my laptop. I get local abc, nbc, and fox, as well as almost every sports channel imaginable. Still need to use the rabbit ears for swx though. Also, since Root is owned by AT&T who also owns DirecTV, I can't get Root. But that doesn't really matter this year since both times we are on Root it's a home game so I'll be at the stadium anyways.

Long story short; if you're looking to drop DirecTV because of the on going dispute, look into Vue. If you need to you can sign up for the free trial so you can watch the game tonight.

Pluto is always the home team channel for the game.

Pluto is so glitchy it’s nearly unwatchable.

Trying to screen record Eastern and Sac on Pluto while watching our game on ABC. No feed, but I am getting NAU / UNC.

Tried to find a restaurant on the way home today that was showing the game. Sacajawea Inn, Land of Magic, Oasis and The Mint all could not show the game because of the Dish Network issue. That is terrible. Just rolled home as fast as we could to get the second half on cable.
