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...

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

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...

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)... :(

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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'...

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...

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

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...

Hey, DIRT... I wonder if you could address a few issues for me? I have a 722k with Sling Adapter, and it's worked fine now for nearly a year. I can access my receiver through Dish Online, and also through the DRA on my Blackberry. But the program grid when displayed for 'All' is not showing all...

Wow... just wow. We lost the NY sports market, with no regrets from Charlie. We came THAT close to losing all our Fox regional sports channels. I think it's pretty clear from this that unless there's a drastic change in the way sports networks market their products, ANY sports channel that...

I don't believe it's a tree issue. I have a pole installation in front of my house, and the only tree that could have been an issue was a small one sitting in front of the sidewalk whose top I've lopped off enough lately so that the tree is sitting lower than the tree line far in the distance...

I'll make sure those are checked. I have the Dish protection plan, so the LNBs and connections are covered if they need to be replaced, correct?

Thanks, Zach, but I've already got a tech coming out today. He was out a few days ago, inspected the Dish, and told me he couldn't find any issues with it. I don't know how closely he examined the LNBs and the cable fittings, but I just wonder if that could be the problem? Yesterday morning...

The signal strength is 45 on 110 when there isn't rain. I forgot to add this is on a 722k receiver.

I've had a setup for two years now with a Dish 1000+ pointing to 110, 118, 119, and 129. Only in the last two weeks a problem has developed, where even in medium to light rains, signal strength on 110 drops to 0 and takes literally hours to come back in the green after the rains have gone. 118...

No, the bill won't increase... well, at least not because of that. If Versus demands an increase and/or to be placed in a lower tier, Dish will just simply drop the channel. Probably after that, NHL CI. Goodbye NHL. Sports just isn't a priority for Dish. Dish has already dropped GOL, MSG, MSG+...

GNASH, I wouldn't be surprised if the issue is Dish itself. I would almost bet they decided at the last minute to remove the HD broadcast because they didn't have enough room on their satellites to broadcast it. I mean, think about it... if the league was responsible, wouldn't they block the...

I was just told by a CSR that the league decided to blackout only the HD channel here in the Detroit area. I don't know if that's just for Dish network or for all broadcasters. She told me the league can decided to blackout a telecast for any reason, and at the last minute. I told her Dish is...
