If it's Angels and Demons, it's a push by Directv. Lots of us got it. Just delete it. __________________ Chip So you are telling me that DirectTV is purposely putting "Angels & Demons" on their customers DVR's...hoping that many of those same customers will think it's a "Freebie"...

I recieved the latest update last night around 2:00 AM. I had set my HD-DVR (mod. 22 I think) to record "Imus in the Morning" every day (M-F) on the Fox Biz channel since he joined FBN about three weeks ago. I will call it "Imus ITM" hereafter. No problems recording "Imus ITM" until...

I just purchased a vacation home in the Phoenix metro area. I want to take the VIP622 + dish from my home in Illinois (plan to get DirectTV at my home address this summer anyway...I want my MLB Network at my primary residence!). FYI, I currently have two Dish Net dishes...one that was...

I noticed today that I'm having some herky jerky problems on some channels. I first noticed it this morning when I DVR'd a cable news program. It was hard to watch the scroll at the bottem of the channel. Now, as I watch programs live, I still notice the problem on any channel with...

I DID NOT say I live in the Chicago market. I live in west-central Illinois 225 miles SW of Chicago....far, far, far, FAR from the Chicago TV market (I'm actually in the Quad Cities and Quincy markets)

Help! I'm a major league Cubs fan and I am being blocked from watching them pursue their playoff run on THREE freakin' Dish Network Channels tonight (Wed. 9-17). I live in the Cubs market in Illinois. I also subscribe to the Multi-Sports package. The Cubs are on ESPN Ch. 140 and are...

I was watching this also. A few minutes ago, the announcers said that they were having visual technical problems (over the whole feed) due to storm-related tech problems. Not Dish Network's tech issue...This Time! :cool:

Mediacom is also a big cable player in Illinois. They are my cable internet provider in Western IL

Looks pretty "exclusive" to me. This is a snippet from the BTN website. DIRECTV CHANNEL 220 DIRECTV has designated its Channel 220 as the location of the Big Ten Network and will make the network available as part of its Choice programming package. The satellite provider has also committed...

Cub (fan)'s Win, Cub (fan)'s Win....Holy Cow!

I guess I am one of the 5% who will switch to DirectTV over this issue. I already lost access to MLB-EI, which I subscribed to. Too not be able to watch the BTN on my home TV is unbearable. Now, it looks like I will have to go to a bar or a lucky friend's house who has DirectTV to watch Big...

What corner do you buy your narcotics on dude? You have to be amazingly high to say that Big Ten alums in Chicagoland don't care about Big Ten Football and "no one gives a rat's ass about Big Ten Football." Why do Chicago area fans travel each Fall weekend IN DROVES to Madison, Champaign...

I got this in my mailbox yesterday...an official email from the University of Iowa! I am on the Hawkeye sports e-mail list announcing ticket sales and other events regarding Iowa Hawkeye sports. How funny! Now the University of Iowa is officially LOBBYING to FORCE Mediacom (and probably...

I'm in total agreement with Tom. I love E* HD, but I can't deal with a company that has no interest in keeping MLB baseball fans or fans of teams in the Big Ten. It's sad that Dish Network is more interested in pacifying the Cricket or International Soccer audience than providing the sport's...
