    So, what's the deal with Fox College Sports channel?

    It shows up on my TV guide as channel 617 (DTV), but the schedule says "to be announced" for as far as the eye can see. I then go to the DTV website and can't find any mention of FCS or of channel 617. Anybody know what's going on? Does channel 617 work for anyone here?

    I was wondering the same thing. It looks like a brand new channel that is just launching.

      So, does your guide say the same thing for channel 617?

              As do I. Mine says "to be announced" as well. I've been waiting for the announcement for over a year now.

                      I haven't been able to find any way to watch it live on DTV, but in case you hadn't heard, it does appear to be on tape delay on channel 686 at 1:00 AM Eastern/11:00 Mountain. I'll probably check at game time to see if it shows up anywhere, and if not, go to sleep and watch it in the morning.

                        It sounds like it may show up at game time. I have been googling trying to find something but nobody seems to know hwo it works. Basically it is a matter of Directv deciding to pick it up or not. It would be on Fox Sports Arizona but they are showing the Suns game.

                          This my plan as well (maintaining radio silence and then watching the delayed broadcast). If any DirecTV'ers find it on live at 7 PM MST, please post here immediately. Otherwise, I'm taking the fam to see It's Complicated. Nothing like a fun R-rated movie for FHE!

                            I just checked my DTV schedule again, and 617 now has 'upcoming BYU vs AZ' and at 7 shows the game.

                            FYI

                              Awesome! Mine shows it now too. Is this the inaugural broadcast for this channel or something?
