    Live Updates - DirecTV MLB Announcement

    I got an email from Dish Network asking me to call them if I want to discuss the matter further. My point is you pay up as its not an exclusive contract or after the free preview that no doubt DirecTV will give all subscribers the first week. Then I order it from DirecTV and simply run a...

    Live Updates - DirecTV MLB Announcement

    Monday Night Charlie I have to agree if he thinks every one is going to want to talk about NASCAR and not baseball he must be out of his mind. . . . Then again I am sure Charlie knows that this site exists so I am sure he is gonna be prepared with an opening speech about the state of...

    Live Updates - DirecTV MLB Announcement

    Well at $160 that is way more than I paid with Dish Network ($20) but no doubt they will have a free preview week so I will be able to see if the superfan package is worth it. I probably wont go for SF as that is DirecTV greed. Besides if they have to make it available to Dish Network I will...

    Live Updates - DirecTV MLB Announcement

    I just sent Dish Network an email telling them they better match the offer or else its on them if people move to DirecTV because they want to be tight wads. Now if Dish an ties up then it drives a stake in DirecTV's heart as they will have paid all that money and wont gain any subscribers from...

    DirecTV Defends Its Play for Extra Innings

    I get DNS from DirecTV all New York and Los Angeles stations (Big 4). With Dish I get FOX and NBC from San Francisco and Atlanta) threw NPS. Being from Los Angeles being able to watch my home town football team has not been a problem and it seems like it is a problem that will keep for a few...

    DirecTV Defends Its Play for Extra Innings

    Seems to me that Dish has a lot of the sports channels these days. Now I remember when they did not have teh NFL Network or some of the other sports channels but correct me if I am wrong. Dish is carrying them all with the exception of the YES Network ans MASN in the Washington D.C. True...

    DirecTV Defends Its Play for Extra Innings

    Well if DirecTV gets the exclusive rights to EI and does something to improve the package. For example add home team telecasts of the San Diego Padres, Washington Nations, Toronto Blue Jays it might be Worth a little more money. After all MLB has not said what the package will be like this...

    DirecTV Defends Its Play for Extra Innings

    I dont hate DirecTV I am not the biggest fan of them for other reasons I wont go into here. In fact I have a secondary account with DirecTV so if worse comes to worse I could get MLB EI on DirecTV but it would not be in a room of the house where I prefer to watch TV. In fact the Red...

    DirecTV Defends Its Play for Extra Innings

    Yes when I first signed with Dish network in May 1998 I chose them because Dish Network carried the Super stations package and I was able to watch the home town Los Angles Dodgers on KTLA back then and the birth place Yankees and Mets on WWOR and WPIX as well as the Colorado Rockies on KWGN and...

    DirecTV Defends Its Play for Extra Innings

    Sounds like DirecTV is starting to get nervous and is starting to sweat. If its such a done deal why not announce it then. Sadly DirectTV had the monopoly of MLB EI and several other sports packages and let it slip away and now there crying when others object to them getting it back. They...

    MLB-DirecTV deal whiffs diehard fans

    I have enjoyed EI on Dish Network since 2004. I will just have to go back and watch the games I get from Dish ESPN, WGN(Sox & Cubs), WPIX(Mets),WWOR(Yankees), KTVU(Giants). I can add EI to my DirecTV package upstairs but I really dont want to and I know they are going to raise the price...

    Why no Superstation Package??

    Yes and as you never see any Yankees home telecasts in the Extra Innings package its the only way to see an actual telecast out side of the YES broadcasting Territory's.

    L.A. Locals off of Conus?????

    I dont recieve channel 9 KCAL with my DNS package from DirecTV so I wonder why yhey would put KCAL on a national spot beam. Seems like a waste of space.

    L.A. Locals off of Conus?????

    I have Dish Network and have never had a phone line attached to them even once in the last 8 years. If you want Distant locals move to Southwestern West Virginia and DirecTV will be more than happy to provide them to you... legaly..... and you can keep the big 4 from New York as well. If you...

    Programming

    Well if you move to Beckley West Virginia DirecTV will give all 4 NY and LA stations as your in a legal white area. Other than that I am afraid you will have to move to Sacramento. . . .

    Not receiving my own regional sports programing

    Funny thing abut that with my Dish network account I get FSN Pittsburgh as my regional sports network and I get the Pirates and Penguins games with out any trouble. . . . Now when ever FSN Pittsburgh picks up an NBA Basketball game its blacked on on Dish Network and I could never figure that...

    Rant--I'm done with DirecTV

    I have to agree. Weather it be DirecTV, Dish Network or the cable company they unfortuantly cant control what a third party installer did or did not do. No company intends to treat is customers that way. What will happen is possibly the guy who was supposed to do the install will get fired...

    Comcast sportsnet philly

    In the MLB Extra innings world when ever I want to see a Washington Nationals game on MLB EI I can only see it if the opposing team is telecasting it. I am yet to see a Nationals telecast on MLB EI. We also never seem to see any New York Yankees home telecasts bar the ones on WWOR. No San...

    DirecTv CSR's are just dumb.

    Most calls are recorded. All calls to AT&T are recorded and subject to monitering by the local QA staff as well as AT&T. Now the problem with the system is the phone calls go threw so many computers and some times calls do get dropped. There were times I was helping the most friendly...

    DirecTv CSR's are just dumb.

    Perhaps I was a little hot on that and I do apologise but one thing I learned after 3 months as an AT&T rep was to give the people who answer the phone a little respect and I will admitt Direct TV and Dish Network is a different beast than AT&T

    DirecTv CSR's are just dumb.

    You for one are a fool Mr Scotsmaron. I worked for three months as a CSR for AT&T/Dish on the AT&T side of the house and can tell you that the CSR's are as good as the training they recieve from the client. I quit on Thanksgiving Eve after a 45 minute phone call from a STUPID customer...

    Has anyone moved to Direct from Dish because of losing distant nets?

    They are on Saturdays when FOX does a national telecast of the Dodgers and Angels. Granted they left KTTV in 1992 if I remember correctly and are now on KCAL 9 and the Angels are on MY13 KCOP But I can see the Saturday games that I would other wise miss. have MLB extra inning for the...

    Has anyone moved to Direct from Dish because of losing distant nets?

    I had a seperate account with DirecTV as they had an international package that my kids Grandmother had to have that was not available any where else. When I had that installed back in August 2005 at the very end of the instalation they told me that since DirecTV did not have locals in my area...
