    MLB Network and Black Outs

    I agree it makes no sense. I hope it was just an error, and that DirecTV just forgot to turn on the alternate HD feed tonight. Being in the Detroit area, BOTH regional games on the main channel were blacked out, yet the two other games were on the alternate channel, in glorious SD. Right now...

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    FSC+ in HD... we already pay a whopping $15 for that one channel and only get SD!

    bein Sport HD channel request

    I agree, it wouldn't make much sense for a new channel, except for the fact that it's European soccer and sponsored by a network whose news channel we can't even get on Dish. Would it make sense to put it in a regular package? I can see a la carte, maybe $10/month for both channels. How Dish...

    bein Sport HD channel request

    If they do, and they probably will, I wouldn't be surprised to see them available, not in the Multisports pack, but only in the International Sports pack... which means at least one another package to subscribe to if you want your soccer (more if you don't already have international channels)... :(

    DISH Enters Deal with ROKU

    So this deal will essentially shut down nearly all the rest of the free streaming feeds (since nearly all were international news and content), except of course shopping and religious channels... In my opinion, free Roku has become nothing now but a VOD service of incredibly bad movies and a...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Ouch, I think I have a few goose eggs from my ordeal! :D

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Wow... I had to really fight to get the free Roku deal. At first, I was in the online chat queue for over an hour, just to be offered, at first, $5 credit for 3 months... and when I balked at that, I was offered a month of two premium channels. And that's all I was offered. I tried being...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I don't have a problem with that type of negotiation, either. But there's the keyword: negotiation! Dish knew MONTHS ago they were not going to renew AMC's contract. So much for any negotiating. If Dish's way of hardball negotiating is to come to a network long before a contract expires and...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I can empathize with that, too... Dish replaces those channels by simply pulling down channels they already provide to their higher paying customers! Well, I'm a higher paying customer, and all this does is result in dropping channels for me! What do I get in return?? A few PPV movie...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    So, in other words, this was a done deal months ago. So much for any last minute negotiating. It explains why Dish didn't waste time and said, quite matter-of-factly over a month ago, that AMC would be gone by July 1. Not to mention directing viewers to other means to watch their favorite...

    Fox Soccer plus

    Zach, maybe you could add this as a request to get FSN+ in HD? I doubt much it'll help, but what the hey... I mean, why would Dish add HD to a niche channel where subscribers like me already pay for it in SD? They're already getting my money... silly me! :p

    What do you use Sling Adapter for & what would you like to use it for?

    I use the Sling Adaptor with Firefox and Chrome on both my desktop and laptop, and also on my LG Optimus Q Android. All versions work pretty well, but I'd really enjoy having more options for controlling the streaming quality of the broadcast on each. For example, using the PC, with 'Good'...

    DISH Remote Access for Blackberry 9700

    ralfyguy, I hope that was a little bit of sarcasm... but I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, unfortunately. Yes, I know it's been beta for a few years, but here's the kicker... it was working fine until last Wednesday afternoon! It does seem like they've shut off access. I just wish...

    DISH Remote Access for Blackberry 9700

    Not ONE person?? Okay, is there anyone out there who has it working fine on their Blackberry? :eek:

    DISH Remote Access for Blackberry 9700

    Does anybody here use the DISH Remote Access app for Blackberry? A few days ago, all of a sudden the app stopped connecting on my Bold 9700 and ever since then I get the message 'Unable to connect. Retry?' I've done battery pulls, soft resets and hard resets on the phone. I've made sure that my...
