    RSN's Now All Gone - NESN dropped

    The problem I'm seeing is this. As providers drop RSNs, local sports programming and events will become invisible. Because if blackout ( outdated) rules, streaming for those residing within territorial boundaries of their teams will be unable to watch their home team games. Something has got to...

    AT&T explores Direct TV sale again

    AT&T has been looking to off load the Directv( AT&T entertainment) model for quite some time now. With the surge in web and app based programming options, pay tv is becoming a less favorable option. AT&T is not a communications company anymore. It is a financial company. The only priority that...

    NHL Center Ice 2019-20

    I called Dish today to get a clarification on this... I sub to NHL CI....Now, the NHL website appears to imply that CI subs also can watch games on the mobile site (NHL Mobile). An app I have on my phne and my tablet, I have a trucking business that has me on the road about 200 days per year, So...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    Losing the Fox regionals doesn't bother me all that much. I just watch Fox Sports Go on line. As far as the 'line'....I'll decide when the time is right to switch or not. I hate Spectrum TV, so they are never going to be an option. Directv equipment is inferior to that of Dish. And it is...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    Until our new provider has its bout of contract disputes. Or you can pay more than market rate because When HBO went to $20 per month, I dumped it. Dish offered me incentives to keep it. I declined. I don't miss it at all. If Fox doesn't come back, I'll be upset. After a few weeks, I won't...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    "don’t carry half the channels your supposed to get" Supposed to get?. Explain that. Per the contracts with respective producers, viewers will be permitted to subscribe to the level of programming they wish. They are "supposed" to have access to those channels. That has nothing to do with rates...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    Nearly ALL owners of Regional Sports Nets and the local Pro teams that own their broadcast rights want pay tv providers to place their channels in the lowest tiers. ESPN is the only one that got away with it. When ESPN was a fledgling channel , the company was giving the signal away to providers...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    You wanted a clean install, you could have stopped the tech, called Dish and asked them to send another more professional tech to complete the job. You ate the steak. Now you come back after the fact and complain about the steak. Can't have it both ways. Now you're leaving yourself in an...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    "ultimately it's up to the "provider" to provide the channels." This is true but not accurate. As I understand rules and regs of broadcasting , once the contract ends, and if the two entities cannot agree, it is ILLEGAL for the provider to distribute the property( video/audio signal)...

    Yes message boards do offer a means to vent. However, freedom of speech does not apply here, In fact it doesn't apply exclusive to the federal government. The US Constitution states "Congress shall make no law......... abridging the freedom of speech". That doesn't apply here. The owner of this...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    I'm shocked ANY sports fan viewer located within the respective territories of the Pro teams in New York would be a Dish customer. YES, MSG and SNY are NEVER going to be in the Dish lineup.....The rift is just too wide. BTW, YES went away a few years BEFORE SNY was bounced. MSG was gone before YES

    I HATE chat...Text just does not equal the spoken word. I want someone on the phone. Period. I was able to get through to Dish on another matter today. I worked an end around using a phone number given to me by someone WAYYYYYYYYYY up the Dish flagpole. Ive been with Dish for over 20 years...

    One thing I have noticed is the call center in Christiansburg, VA which is right along I-81 and clearly visible from the roadway, the parking lot is not nearly as full as it used to be.

    At the end of 2 year price lock?

    Data caps are coming. I suspect ISP's will begin to change the way they bill. Going over to the way cell phone data is billed. Everyone gets the same speed. The data you use, the more you pay. I think that is fair for everyone. My reasoning is this. If I own a high mileage car and someone else...

    Please help! Roofers took down my dish!

    Yeah. That 811 nonsense is more 'litigation protection' put forth by Dish's legal team. Or just another extreme risk averse policy. Most times a locate of buried utilities is not needed. Just stay clear of the meter base, phone interface enclosure and the gas meter and its all good.
