I have Dish in Slidell 70461 area and the game on Friday vs Bobcats is scheduled on the "Sports Alt" channels: 412-38 (or 41238) and 412-39 (41239) which are the low def and the high def feeds, respectively.

My 450 was based on my zip.
When I pop in your zip, I get the same answer from the gamefinder:
Fri 11/9 7:30 PM Bobcats at Hornets X ALT 450 - AT120+
That last bit is the subscription required.
Do you get the same thing?

The Dish feed in 70461 area code for Saturday's Bull's game was on 412-36 (41236). I do a search from the menu function on my dish hopper for "hornets" and it gives me the dish channels for the upcoming games. Also shows correctly tomorrows 76ers game on ESPN ch 140. These channels have been correct so far and the hi def has been good. Again, they only go to a live feed during the Hornets broadcast.
I get the same 450 channel as you do from the www.mydish.com/gamefinder. However that channel does not exist on my "all channels" for dish. 455 is the first PPV Sports channels. The gamefinder info for hornets in my zip code is totally erroneous. AT120 means Americas Top 120 Dish package - this includes espn and the regional sports networks. Gamefinder did give the correct channel 140 for espn for Wednesday game though.
450 may mean "we don't know." Let's keep an eye on it.
Counting you, brah.
I will try to remember to post the Dish channels for upcoming games.
42,
Just to clarify, for MS with DirectTv, even though there is a FSNO (ch. 678), the Hornets games will come on 646 (Fox Sports South) or 649 (SportsSouth) or any alternate feed off of those?. Has this been happening all along and I've just been checking the wrong channel?
Thanks in advance.
Same for me: Directv 39525 Diamondhead, MS. Might be new b/c I checked all the 600's and 700's and no Hornets game. Not sure the specifics but I believe the Hawks, Grizzs, and Bobcats have been on 646 and 649. But there are plenty of alt channels to accommodate the Hornets. Thanks for all the info 42.
In Diamondhead we have ALT Sports South on channel 61 for cable one. The Bulls game was shown on the menu, but they showed the Fox SSW game Dallas vs Charlotte. Not sure whats up??? Its a shame that we cant watch a game and we live 50 miles to the arena.
Geaux Pells!
I have Cox and today is the first day my guide actually says 'FSNNO'. From the beginning of the season until yesterday it said FSS7.
I'm fully expecting the game on espn to be blacked out in gulf shores. If so, I'm done with the nba
MS folks: Check out what say-what says, then check every channel during the game and check multiple times (in case it's in commercial). I can't tell you what will happen. I can tell you what the FSNO guys say is supposed to happen. If you tell me quite clearly that it doesn't happen and the pertinant info, then I can tell them. They will care since they want to be able to show ads to you guys.
So, check, do research, report, and remain calm.
And you HAVE to quit thinking of "this is not the right station since it's only part-time this" or "that's the other team's station" that. FS RSN's share content. You have to GET OVER the little logo differences. Ignore the guides that are controlled by distributors that really don't care about you. Just find the content.
It was not blacked out on espn. Lets hope the next game shows up in my foxNO
You may want to
Read this thread
Do some searches for Hornets on your guide at the right time that day
Check Fox Sports South and SportSouth to see if they are picking up the FSNO content
DISH
Hornets are listed in my guide for Friday's Hornets vs Bobcats on 412-38 (41238) or 412-39 (41239). The game will be on one of these channels but likely not both.
42: Perhaps you can start a game day thread that will list the various provider channels for the game.
I'll sort something out.
In the end, I'm not about checking people's guides for them. This reporting.you're doing is great, and the gamefinder shows me what you see now. It adds that exactly one channel is blacked out, exactly one is not.
This should help people find their game day of.
I got the game on ESPN last night on Directv in MS. We'll see if this FSNO, FSS, SportsSouth thing gets worked out for Friday's game.
42- I created this thread and have read every post. The games have not been on any of my description tv channels. I've checked every game . That's my issue
Trusting the guide? Or watching each channel during game time through a set of commercials?
Sounds like you are relying on the guide.
I turned it to each fox station
Then when it doesn't show up, list the stations here.
I'll send a communication that night.
ETA: I need your zip, too. Don't forget SportSouth.

There may be something else at work here with DirecTV. From reading the following threads on a satellite discussion board, it seems like DirecTV is opting not to pay full freight for the NBA broadcasts of teams in outlying areas of certain team's broad television market. For example, some folks in Iowa, which is in the Timberwolves footprint are no longer getting the games even though they have the channel.
It's a complex issue and reading through these threads may confuse more than help. But at the core, it seems as if DirecTV is making a financial decision to negotiate a cheaper price for some of these RSN's by blacking out pro sports content for outlying areas.

I don't know for a fact that is what is happening here with the Alabama fans (especially if they don't have DirecTV), but I found it very similar to some of the complaints mentioned in this thread and worth bringing to the table.
A football game can't stop hurricanes.
It can't fix levees.
Or rebuild houses.
But it can let a city know...
That it's a city once again.
Welcome back, New Orleans.
vs Bobcats: Once again, 678 (FSNO) says "Not subscribed" on Directv (Saucier, MS 39574)
Fox Sports South and SportsSouth are not showing the game either.
