I decided to try as well here is the reply I got... Thanks for writing about FSN Wisconsin. In review of your DIRECTV account, I found that you have been with us since 2002. We want you to know we appreciate the loyalty you have demonstrated. At this time, FSN Wisconsin on channel 642 is an alternate channel which offers overflow Wisconsin games. Let me inform you that alternate channels occasionally provide additional game coverage for ESPN, ESPN2 or RSNs (or CBS college basketball). Please understand that you can't subscribe to these channels because the alternate channels are only viewable while the game is in progress. Here's how it works - If more than one professional game of the same sport is played at the same time on the same channel, an alternate channel may open up and carry one of the games. See examples: Game: Time: Broadcast Channel: Channel Number: Twins @ Royals 8PM ET FSN North 641 Cardinals @ Brewers 8PM ET FSN Wisconsin 642 (alternate) I hope this information has been helpful. Thanks again for writing and stay tuned to directv.com for information about our service. Sincerely, Gracy A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, it would have been just as informative if she told me how the power button the my tv works. I guess if we keep emailing they will correct it just to stop us.
