Well some good news and bad news for Royals fans in Iowa. Good news is that the Royals will be seen in Iowa on FSN Midwest, the bad news is that it's only 45 games. Yesterday, I spoke to a representative at FSN Midwest and basically satellite users are getting screwed over. I was told that...

It's that time of the year when blackout questions start popping up, so here is a link to a map that shows the TV market for each MLB team: http://www.maurybrown.com/images/MLBTerritories.jpg

I haven't heard any word on D* adding this spin off of FSN Midwest. Will D* do for this network what they did for FSN Wisconsin last year, and just rebrand the "spill-over" channel and be dark expect for live sporting events? :fingers crossed: that the Des Moines metro will be able to receive...

Has there ever been a network launch that has caused this much fuss with sports fans? I think the controversy over BTN has been much more than NFL Network last summer targeting MSO's that didn't carry NFL. http://www.bigtennetwork.com/news/in...ticleSource=26

http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6447347.html Hopefully cable competition and lower cable bills will follow in the coming years :cool:

Figured it was only a matter of time with the Dems in control :rolleyes: http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pb...704120398/1001

Anyone want to take a guess as to what tier the new MLB channel will be on? I thought just crossed my mind that there's going to be a alot of pissed off NFL fans if this new MLB channel is going onto the basic tier.

Main cable package after price increases to take effect in May: *Iowa City from $47.95 to $51.95/month *Cedar Rapids from $49.95/month to $51.95/month and in Dubuque: $54.55/month I haven't seen anything for Des Moines, but it's coming and you can thank $inclair for the ungodly high...

No Tennis Channel; not a tennis fan, but suprised D* doesn't carry it On screen guide leaves a lot to be desired. As big as E* & D* are, you would think they could do something with this. It's been a week and the only thing I miss from Mediacom is TV Guide's I-Guide; I have an R15 (main TV...

Like a kid waiting for Christmas for when the phone goes off and it's the installer on the other end saying he's on his way.

Getting installed this saturday with 3 receivers, one being a DVR. I was a long time Dish Network subscriber, so i'm anxious to compare the 2 services. Going through Qwest with a bundle package of phone, DSL, and DirecTV for roughly $90 a month (extra receivers & DVR isn't included). Glad...

My dishback back period has expired with Mediacom (thank God) and i'm a free agent of sorts. Qwest had an insert in the local paper this past Sunday that caught the attention of my wife and I, but first I had some questions regarding DirecTV that I hope you guys could answer for me: Question...

Why cann't Viacom just leave well enough alone? http://www.cmt.com/news/articles/1532367/20060523/williams_jr_hank.jhtml?headlines=true

Is it random? Is it based on requests? It seem's like to me Verizon has been putting FIOS in mostly suburbs. Ankeny, IA (where I live) is a suburb of over 30,000 in the Des Moines metro. I sent an e-mail to the city offices asking 1 - if they've ever heard of FIOS (which I doubt) and if...

Midcontinent Communications, a cable company serving the Upper Midwest, has announced plans to introuduce a family tier. http://midcocomm.com/LatestNews/NewsDetail40.cfm?Id=0,69

The following channels showed up tonight on the on screen guide, but not available for viewing: 171 - College Sports TV 172 - Fox College Sports Atlantic 173 - Fox College Sports Central 174 - Fox College Sports Pacific 175 - Gol TV 176 - Tennis Channel 177 - Sportsman Channel I...

With the addition of WOI-HD, the local ABC affiliate to it's HD package, with the exception of the Sinclair owned FOX affiliate, Mediacom in Des Moines now carries all of the local HD broadcasts. I noticed WOI-HD on the system last week, just in time for the BCS bowl games as well as the...

After being removed by Mediacom from the digital tier several years ago, ESPN Classic has returned to the Mediacom family, this time it's on the family cable package at channel 34, prompting A&E to move from that location to channel 58. For the last several weeks, ESPN Classic has been in...

other than ESPN GamePlan & Full Court, Mediacom offers no MLB EI, NBA LP, NHL CI or the NASCAR PPV package. Nor does it offer NBA TV, NFL Network, ESPNU, College Sports TV, or Fox College Sports. Is it because Mediacom is being cheap? Please spare the language that since Mediacom is...

who's ahead of them? 1. Comcast 2. Time Warner 3. ??? 4. ??? 5. Adelphia 6. ??? 7. ??? 8. Mediacom 9. ??? 10. ??? I'm guessing Cox, Charter, and Cablevision are in there somewhere?

I'm interested in seeing what other Mediacom markets have for a Family cable lineup as I think the digital line-up doesn't vary that much. The Mediacom lineup for Des Moines is as follows: 2 - Discovery 3 - QVC 4 - Mediacom Mainstreet 5 - ABC 6 - Fox 7 - City Government (Ankeny has it's...

from Sirius to the far better picture quality to NFL Network & ESPN U. It's almost depressing for me to turn on TV now and see the crappy PQ and unless we move (which I don't forsee happening), i'm stuck with what I have :( To make a long story short, my wife and I own a townhome, front...

Last Week with Dish Network (not by choice) This time next week, i'll no longer be a Dish Network customer, but a customer of Mediacom. See I live in a townhome, the front faces the south, the back to the north. Where the dish is currently installed, there is no place to ground the system and...

My wife and I are seriously considering dumping Dish Network for Mediacom, let's just say it's a long story why. Anyway, I called Mediacom and asked what type of specials were avaiable for those switching to Mediacom. I was told that for the first 16 months, I could get basic and expanded...

My wife and I have two of the basic, "plain jane" receivers, one in the living room, the other in the bedroom. Ever since we got the new yellow smart cards, we've had a helluva time with the receiver in our bedroom. I'm always having to reset the receiver and/or disconnecting the cable on...
