    extra inning question

    No you don't get ANY local team coverage. MLB EI is ONLY meant for out of market coverage. Like the others have already said, you will have to change to a package which includes your local rsn to get your local game coverage back.

    No longer forced to watch local team feeds on CI package?

    This was apparently just a glitch. nothing has changed on the rules. Just like when the Red Wings were playing the Blues in the last week's time,I as usual was blacked out from FS DET had had to watch the game on FSMW( Im in Blues territory yet a Red Wings fan) So it sounds like you just got lucky

    new service address.

    DTV is NOT stupid. They know what's really going on BUT they also have to keep themselves legally protected ( from the sports leagues and FCC regarding the locals etc) They really know what's going on. Its like a "don't ask, don't tell policy" As long as they are getting paid, DTV could really...

    Couple of dave questions (install and foxsports) by a soon to be subscriber

    Yeah unlike when we used to subscribe to the rsn's on c band satellite and get the out of market games when NPS etc got the rights, on DTV you have to subscribe to one of the sportstickets ( MLB EI etc) to get the out of market games. Just subscribing to the rsn's won't get you out of market...

    How Difficult/Risky is it to move addresses - Can't take these locals anymore

    You sound like you DONT belong in this chat room. If you want to play "legal" and all that crap please EXIT this forum and go to DBSTALK.COM. This forum is OPEN unlike the other particularly when it comes to these subjects.

    Canadian Shut Out

    The reason Americans can't get Canadian programming and vis versa has to do with copyright licensing. I learned all about this back in the days of Cband satellite tv. For example back in the day even though the Canadian could pick up HBO ( even if he had the VideoCipher decoder) he couldnt...

    How long should MLB (213) be Blacked Out?

    That is DTV's fault for not paying no attention to what was going on. They will try to tell you it was MLB's fault but thats a bunch of bunk. They are the ones responsible for enforcing the blackouts and removing them.Somebody wasn't paying no attention obviously

    MLB Packages on Directv available in Hawaii

    The superstation package you mentioned ( WPIX,KTLA etc ) is one of the ONLY things DishNet has that Directv doesnt have. I sure wished they did! I used to get the same package on my cband system in the old days. On DTV they are only avail in their local areas as local channels.

    Anyway around the 2 year commitment for new customers?

    Yeah that would perfectly explain why the DTV CSR's were more than willing to tell me that you could actually buy the boxes and even the prices on them ( since I was an already existing customer + even my old equipment at the time was owned ) But like I was talking to you about privately once +...

    Anyway around the 2 year commitment for new customers?

    Excuse me but I do know because I talked and learned DIRECTLY from DTV on this issue!! I was not happy myself having to get in a contract. I was fully told the FULL price of all the boxes ( add $300 to the lease price) and thats what it cost and YES you are NOT stuck in a contract! The only...

    Anyway around the 2 year commitment for new customers?

    Its like the cellphones I'ts just like how the cellphone carriers do it. You can FULLY buy a reciever/dvr ONLY thru DTV BUT the catch is you will pay big. For example a hddvr costs you 199 to lease and yet to fully buy it (499.00) when you fully buy the boxes then you dont have to get caught in...

    Yes Network - How to sign up and terms?

    You will need the SportsPak if you wish to watch any pre/post game show and YES you will need MLB EI to watch the games themselves. Trust me you will KNOW when you can order MLB EI LOL you'll see enough advertising

    Leased and owned

    The status of a leased box never changes even after your COMMITTMENT is over. You never become owner of the box and therefore have NO right to sell what is not yours to someone else to add to THEIR account.If you have no intentions of keeping your account you will have to call DTV and close your...

    locals question

    If Im correct when you are talking the major metro cities, their spotbeams seem to be the ones that can reach the farthest when it comes to both SD and hdtv. I for example live just a little over 200 miles from STL in Il and can get both the SD and hdtv of the STL locals. I usually would say go...

    Center Ice picture quality

    What pisses me off is when Fs Det is showing a Pistons game they always make sure to have that game on hdtv BUT they do away with carrying the Red Wings games in hdtv. For some reason this year it doesnt seem like there is as many hdtv games avail this year. The SD transmissions usually look...

    Leverage? Three FSN's Now DirecTV Sports

    I think you're wrong. Now that Dtv has several rsn's this is going to make Comcrap have to change their damned attitudes. This has sorta evened the tables. Now Comcrap is also going to have to negotiate with Dtv to carry those rsn's on their cable systems. Now DTV can FINALLY get somewhere on...

    No HD game on CI again.

    Next time look at the tv guide itself and see if the HDTV icon is on the games listing. If you would have looked, you would have seen there was NO such icon under the Red Wings game those last two games they played.

    NHL LIVE STREAMS

    I heard someone say in dbstalk that the NHL would have live streams online of tomm's games. Still pretty pissed Im not going to get to see the Red Wings/ Blues game thanks to this mess with VS. Do any of you know where these live streams are supposed to be tomm? Let me guess these are pay sites...

    I just "moved"

    Yeah alot of us do this for either the issue of sports or local tv. Yes DTV and Dishnet are NOT stupid and know whats going on most of the time but the main thing is to SHUT UP and not say anything. I call it the "dont ask dont tell " policy. DTV and Dishnet know whats going on but they also...

    Out of Market Stations

    When I was talking about the rsn's I was telling him that he wouldnt be able to get the Stars anylonger since by changing his addy to an outside one that makes the games become out of market not the rsn itself becoming unavail. Yes the for conus channels are avail. I was talking about the other...

    Superstations with Directv??

    Thats funny that you brought up the fact they were distributed via microwave landline. I live in central Il and like you we also used to get KPLR on our cable. For many years I coudlnt never understand how in the hell the cable tv company was able to get KPLR because like you said it wasn't...

    Superstations with Directv??

    You're right. At the end when I last had all the superstations they were not really superstations anylonger.All the channels had become nothing more than worthless WB affiliates. If Im right thats the same time they started cutting down on the pro baseball coverage as well back then. Today you...
