I subscribe to Dish and I am considering getting the ESPN Full Court (college basketball) package this year. I want it mainly for Big 10 / Big 12 games, plus the few ACC games that local stations may not carry.

I looked at the ESPN web site
http://sports.espn.go.com/tvlistings/s/fullcourtschedule.html
which has info on games for November / December. What is interesting is that the DirecTV page on Full Court
http://directvsports.com/ESPNFullCourt/Season_Schedule/
is only carrying maybe half of the games listed on ESPN's site.

(BTW, Dish has no info on Full Court on their website yet, even though the first few games are showing up in my program guide. I thought they would learn that they lose business by announcing everything (NHL, NBA, Full Court) at the last minute, but I guess not ...)

Anyhow, the above leads to two questions:

1. Do Dish / DirecTV generally show all the games in the package? I'm not going to buy Full Court if a large number of games in the package are not picked up by Dish.
2. Are those who got the package last year generally happy with it?

I got the package the last few years and all the games were shown.... Once in a while, they will have a game at 1pm and one at 3pm on same channel..... I did miss 20 minutes of one of my games..... But that was just once..... It is a good package and I will get it again this year.....

Don't go by websites for TV listings of the DirecTV packages. :) They are never ever never ever right. Best bet is to check the sports listings the day of the game on channel 753.
