Reminder: check your TV package
(Written by kencraw)
A reminder for all Bear fans our there who wish to see this Saturday’s game versus Colorado State: The game will be on CSTV which is not in most cable packages. I know that on DirecTV, my provider, that CSTV is part of the $12 a month sports package that gets you all of the FSN affilliates (I get just the Bay Area feed by default) as well as 5 or 6 specialty feeds like CSTV. With DirecTV you can add a package to your plan for a minimum of one month so it’s going to cost me $12 to watch this game. Such is life.
In any case, consider this your reminder to call your content provider. You don’t want to be part of the Cal Bear faithful rush on Friday an Saturday morning that is likely going to take down the Comcast call-center.

For people in Sacramento…Comcast offers CSTV on 418. I have their digital cable service along with the “Sports Tier” package. While I don’t think you have to go digital to get the network, you DO have to subscribe to the extra “tier” of programming.
FYI.

Just FYI for those in the bay area.
I believe the sports package is $4.99 for comcast.
ALSO, know that if you cancel, the cost is PRORATED. So you can cancel it the minute the game ends.
Not sure if this is the same as DirecTV but worth looking into.
