Up here in north Ga, they are running commercials for our game on Fox South HD. However, my guide says Fox South HD will be showing the Braves game at that time. I will just have to wait and see what I get. I'm going to start the day by going to the Ga. Tech-JSU game. My son is a freshman at JSU and in the band so we are going to watch him perform at half-time. If the game is the blowout I expect, we will leave just after halftime and head home to watch football until the wee hours of the morning.

First, thanks for the info on the game in your area. I'm sure a lot of Gators not in Florida are wondering where they can view the game. If any one else has some info on TV coverage please share it.

And good luck to your son in his Freshman year!

I am in Orlando and have Brighthouse. I looked two days ago and it just said that it was on Sun channel 31 not the HD channel 1000. Is it in HD now?

Saturday cant come soon enough...

**ThePlayer** · 09-02-2009, 11:43 AM

Panama, if I actually get to see a live broadcast on SunSports (DirecTV-653),
and in HD no less, I really think I might just faint from disbelief.

BTW, this is the 1st time I've ever seen: "ARE YOU SERIOUS" as a point-spread.

I feel the same way..I know it says I'm getting the game on SUN ( I'm in NJ))..I'll believe it when I see it.

**alphaOmegator** · 09-02-2009, 12:35 PM

I live in Fort Myers. I beleive the game will be televised on Channel 6. Please correct me if anyone knows otherwise.

GO GATORS!!

DickBlick · 09-02-2009, 12:38 PM

Is there any reason for out of state Gator fans to get ESPN Gameplan this year? I figured this game would be on it.

Q3Gator · 09-02-2009, 02:25 PM

Will this game be replayed? Sucks, but I have to go to a family wedding that evening.

gymgator · 09-02-2009, 04:06 PM

Any help for WPB area Gators? I will be at the game, but family would like to see it in HD, which is cable channel 401, but it is only shown on channel 35, the non HD Sun Sports channel.

Check your cable box channel guide. The only info I have is for ATand T Uverse in WPB. Who is your service provider?

I laid the law down a few years ago. I don't do weddings between August 31th and January 7th. Unless it turns out to be my son and he knows better then to schedule his wedding to conflict with a Gator game.

I'm in Ocala and have the Brighthouse feed from Orlando. I'm sure that it will be in HD on 1000. The problem is there is never a prelisting for 1000, which I can't understand why they can't have one.

After looking maybe it won't have it in HD, as the Rays game is listed on HD and since FSN/Sunsports share 1000, one game won't be in HD.

**Gatorryder** · 09-02-2009, 11:42 PM

Well, I continued seaching and found the 1000 HD schedule and it appears that the Rays TV schedule on their site for Sept 5th was wrong and the football game will be shown on 1000 HD from Orlando feed. Although, it does say subject to change without notice.
