    MeTV Removed from Dish

    I don't see it either yet. My guess is that it will show up either today with a slate saying this is the new home of this channel, or else it will just show up on Tuesday when it launches.

    No Programming Offers on my Dish Account

    I very rarely take advantage of the offers because they are not things that I use all the time. I used to always do the multi-sport pack for 50% off, but since the RSN's were removed, that has basically turned into just the Redzone channel + Outside Television pack (for someone who has AT250)...

    MeTV Removed from Dish

    I thought it was going to be on channel 239 - the slot that Newsnation just left. Thanks for pointing this info out!

    MeTV Removed from Dish

    Dish normally does the channel additions/changes early Wednesday afternoon or very early Thursday mornings. The thing is that channel is launching on Tuesday. Dish has added channels at random times as soon as they come to a contract. They did that with MLB Network years ago where it was...

    No Programming Offers on my Dish Account

    Does it work on a computer? I have had some issues on different browsers where specific areas of the Dish webpage don't load. I had an issue with the offers at one point, as well as the packages specific channels are available in. For example, when you go to MyDISH you should see the packages...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    You could see this coming a mile away after how good the viewership was this year on Christmas. Even though the NFL earlier said "no" to playing on Christmas this year because it is on a Wednesday, it looks like they are going to have football on Wednesday this season. This year that means...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    I was going to say - out of the Bears quarterbacks in my time, which I started following the Bears when Erik Kramer was our QB, I don't recall any of them going on and winning playoff games or Super Bowls. We have picked up some QB's that had success other places but then when they moved on...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    And almost $200 million for land that they bought in Arlington Heights, demolished the racetrack, and now might just stay in the city anyways. If purchasing that land and doing the demo work was all a game of chicken with the city, that is an awfully expensive game of chicken. Then the other...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Look at where the Bears are on the list... :rolleyes: Now the nice thing about that chart is the spending doesn't coordinate directly to winning (see where the Packers/Cowboys/Chiefs - who have had success and lower; while the Jets are on the top half and have not had the same level of success...

    From DISH about Locals

    Dish has updated their homepage for news users, dish.com, to make it very easy to remove locals when ordering. This appears to be in a direct response to DirecTV's announcement. On the homepage it now says on a big red banner "DISH includes flexible options to add or remove local programming!"...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    The description mentions the fan favorite - I have them all DVR'd and I am not sure why that one is a fan favorite. I was re-watching it and there are some chickens, the eggs rolling, but there isn't a ton of things going on. Maybe the colors of everything was appealing to people? The Santa's...

    I just checked and I have 6 offers - Showtime, Heartland Package, Multisport Pack, two different Dog TV offers, and Outdoor Pack.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    I noticed that the long term EPG has the April Dish Scape starting on 3/29 at 4am central time instead of April 1. Spring Farm 2.0 Dish Scape. It is close to the same description as last year just with "double the fun"

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    I think you are correct with this. I have Dish, and once I opted out of the locals, the VOD and TV anywhere access was gone. I would have to think it would be the same on DirecTV - if you aren't paying for the locals content you don't get that extra benefit of VOD or TV anywhere.

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    Interesting - the locals package/savings is identical to Dish if you opt to remove the locals. $12.
