    is anyone having issues getting the league pass broadband part to activate?

    Same issue here. I always have to email them to activate. Small hassle really.

    EI Mix Channel Down?

    I wonder how long it'll be until this isn't a viable option anymore. With providers putting hidden "caps" on bandwidth it's going to be challenging. I thought about just mlb.tv also but I do like the MRV ability to watch in any room recorded games.

    Comcast offering free MLB Extra Innings to Dish Customers?

    Question for ya. I'm on the West Coast and watch east coast games mostly. Can you start the game from the beginning at any time? or do you have to wait until the game is over before you can start watching.

    Any progress between MLB and E*?

    Yes, in HD. I record the knicks games with league pass.

    Any progress between MLB and E*?

    This is absolutely false. I have the NBA League pass and I see the Knick games on MSG all the time. When I had Center Ice, same thing with the Rangers. I also can watch the rest of the programming on MSG and MSG + because of the sports pack.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    We'll all know who caved when the 10k's come out for each company. They have to list in the 10k's an outline of what the result of the whole spat was. Keep speculating until then. Once the quarterlies are out, we'll all have a better idea.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    That is incorrect. The FCC when setting up DTV used contours to mirror analog coverage. They are still in effect. It's just dependent on which side of the coin your at. :) Ask a local station and they'll show you the DTV contour map. Ask Charlie and they don't exist. Does that mean DirecTv...

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Good point, he technically isn't. It's just his equipment. The main point was we'll never know what happened, just that it did.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Everyone can speculate as to which side blinked first. Truth is, we'll never know. Fisher could have blinked because of the AAD Distants possibility. Charlie could have blinked because he knew giving distants to customers on retrans disputes is illegal. Maybe Charlie is starting to realize...

    Extra Innings Channel line up

    The guide data for the EI channels hasn't been uploaded yet by InDemand. Should be some time later in the week. You'll see the games populate at that point.

    FIOS MOTOROLA HD DVR

    Glad you finally called them. The CSR's always tell customers they can self install cablecards and the customers always have to call back to find out that's not the case. I really wish Verizon would get their billing and CS corrected. The FIOS service itself is outstanding (DVR discussion aside).

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    True.. all we can do is speculate since we werent' privvy to the details. They could have come to an agreement without "blinking". We'll never know.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Fisher just announced an agreement with Comcast today. If Comcast can agree to terms, there's no reason why Dish can't.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Add to that the court injunction, which I believe prohibited Dish from even offering significantly viewed and you can see where Dish is really without a paddle in offering a replacement channel. Come to think of it, even if they didn't have the injunction over then, they couldn't Just because...

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Nope... that would be illegal. Dish wouldn't do anything illegal like that <tongue firmly planted in cheek>

    How much does Fios TV really cost?

    I don't think you'll be disappointed... Just got installed yesterday. We were watching an SD channel last night when the Mrs. remarked how incredible the picture was compared to Dish... and she could do a side by side comparison. The HD channels are stunning IMHO. Enjoy your install. If...

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    I don't think so. That's SOP to give people all options. Other broadcasters have done the same. I remember not so long ago a retrans issue with a cable system where the TV station pushed viewers to both E* and D* with 50 dollar coupons.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    That's a pretty blind statement to just assume that Young caved into Dish. None of us know what the outcome of that was, just as we don't know what the sticking points are with Fisher Communications. We all know Dish wants retrans for no money and the TV Groups aren't having any of it. It's...

    Shakeup At Dish Headquarters??

    That sure smells like the old "resigning to spend more time with family" or "moving on to other endeavours" excuse... usually means he was politely asked to move along.

    Bad News For Dish

    Charlie's other crutch is piracy. Most people who pirate satellite tv are not going to subscribe to it if they lock down the system. Let's lay down the crutch Charlie and admit you've lost control of the company. Take your billions and hire a new Chairman and new CEO's to run the companies...

    Sioux Falls Locals--NO FOX HD?????

    Complain to both your local Fox affiliate and DirecTv for not working out a deal that's fair for both companies. You're going to see this kind of thing pop up more and more now that broadcasters want to monetize their signals that satellite and cable companies used to carry for free.

    Who Do we need to Contact to get MLBEI Back on Dish

    Congressional time was already wasted on this issue. It's a competitive issue. I was one of the ones who wanted EI on Dish... when Charlie wouldn't pony up I used my dollars to speak. I dropped my Dish sub down and went with DirecTv. The DTV hardware isn't the top of the heap but it does...
