Are ALL NCAA games available to you if you have DirecTV aside from those being shown locally? Apparently we aren't getting the MSU game in my area but I have family with DirecTV that I could go watch it there if they would have it. Otherwise, I guess its off to the sports bar or try to stream it.

...or at least how it's worked in the past:

You will have a standard and an HD channel broadcasting every game. If there's a local market team, that game will be shown on your local CBS affiliate and blacked out on the DirecTV channel.

If you think getting the mega march madness package will keep you from being interrupted by their stupid "live look-ins" or switching to games that are going down to the wire, you are going to be sorely mistaken.

Games shown on your local CBS affiliate will be blacked out on the MMM channel. But if you get locals, you can watch those games there.

and others in the Huntsville-Madison area after further investigation. WHNT is showing our game on the DT 19.2 channel which equates to my Knology channel 199. I believe you can get this channel over the air as well.
