sports pack?

[Mr Tony]

All I've ever debated was the nature of the offering. Thats about it. Don't ask me why folks take it personal...

What is there to debate? From reading your posts in this thread you try and change what people say and go back to your "one man rampage" about out of market sports packages which is not the issue here

-If the OP gets the multi-sports package with Dish he will get all the RSN's and Big10 Network (since his loc is not in a big 10 state)
-These channels are in SD
-They are subject to blackouts of games
-He has access to the HD channels of those networks (according to the Dish site)...again these are subject to blackouts
-Since Dish takes the route of only showing games if they are in HD he might be able to see games...this goes to my next point
-Due to satellite capacity issues, Dish doesnt show ALL the HD sports...read through the numerous threads of X game not being in HD on Dish

Now then....Dodger mentioned DirecTv because as he noted "Keep in mind that the HD RSNs on Dish are not full time like they are on Direct. You may not get as collegiate games in HD due to the fact that they can only turn on so many HD fees at one time." which goes back to my last point

Now with DirecTV here is the info
-If the OP gets the multi-sports package with Directv he will get all the RSN's and Big10 Network (since his loc is not in a big 10 state)
-These channels are in SD
-They are subject to blackouts of games
-He has access to the HD channels of those networks...again these are subject to blackouts
-The HD version of the station is up 24/7. Not everything is in HD (obviously)
-As long as the game is not blacked out and is in HD the OP can see the game in HD with the multi-sports pack on DirecTV. Its not a crap shoot like on Dish where Dish may decide to show something else.

This comes in handy when FSN has a "big" nationwide game yet the local RSN has it pre-empted for something else.

Anyway, you were right to take the topic back to collegiate sports because thats what the OP was into. Fortunately, Dish provides the Big10 Network in may area as a fulltime RSN (and I mean real full-time...not like PPV thats available 24/7)

Big10 is set up differently than the RSN's....FSN is a regional network. Big 10 Network is a national network (heck its in Canada on Starchoice) that has a special agreement with each carrier.

Excellent comparison Ice

Yep...And the only reason I brought up DirecTV in the first place is because the OP mentioned the DirecTV sports pack in his first post. I was simply doing a comparison between the two only to give him additional information that he can use if he chooses to do so.

hey guys i know direct tv has a sports pack that includes all of the regional sports networks.
Does dish have one also?
thanks

You said, 'whats there to debate'...but you 'debate it' anyway...that says a lot...

Look, man...I ain't takin' your bait.

I made my point, and I can live with it. As for DK and anyone else...they can live with it too...

like anything else, its no different than when you said it the first time.

I placed him on ignore as a way to prevent myself from commenting and taking it further than it needs to go on this thread and any future threads.

thanks iceberg. that's really good info for the OP. it can't get clearer than that

I love the way the same people time after time gang up on one individual poster. Real testimony to solid character, I tell you...

Jocks ain't happy just bullying everyone out of the weightroom, they need to bully folks out of the classrooms as well.

Good post Ice:up

 

[Mr Tony]

You said, 'whats there to debate'...but you 'debate it' anyway...that says a lot...

I didnt debate. I put out the info there so the OP can make a conscious decision as whether or not the multi-sport pack is worth it along with the positives and negatives of both providers. (sicne he mentions it)

Look, man...I ain't takin' your bait.

what bait?

I made my point, and I can live with it. As for DK and anyone else...they can live with it too...

yet you always come back and spew the same lines

 

[Mr Tony]

Thanks guys. I just wanted the OP to see what the multi-sports pack includes on both providers and the good & bad of it. Not taking "other packages" into the equation...just the multi-sports pack as the OP requested

I use to have the multi-sports pack with Dish (long before HD) because they had college hockey and ECW Wrestling on it

 

[vampz26]

yet you always come back and spew the same lines

More like arrive at the same conclusion...

Dude. Give it up. YOU WERE WRONG. Accept it. Admit it. Be a man. Now move on.

 

[DodgerKing]

That's weird. I made a post, it showed up and it was on here for a few minutes and now it is gone. It doesn't say anything about anyone deleting it.

yeah i'm noticing some glitches on this site for the last 30 minutes.

 

[vampz26]

Dude. Give it up. YOU WERE WRONG. Accept it. Admit it. Be a man. Now move on.

But I'm not wrong...that would be the only problem with your statement.

The 'acceptance' issue is up to others to deal with. I fortunately do not have that problem.

Here is what I said originally before my post mysteriously disappeared:

Good job on the list. You did a good job at summarizing the packages as well as comparing and contrasting.

There was a glitch earlier. I noticed it too that a couple posts of mine arent there. I chalk it up to the glitch we had before (around 5:30 Central time)

 

[Mr Tony]

He wont admit it because we are talking about the multi-sport package which I spelled out very clearly for the OP the details of it yet someone wants to interject and turn this into a "glorified PPV" thread and out of market sports packages which is not what we are talking about.

I like the line "But you do get your local RSN fulltime on a regional basis, which is a good thing." which by the way...what would be the RSN for Haiti?

FSN Port Au Prince???

With all due respect Ice, there has yet to be a convincing or decisive argument that what I call 'glorified ppv' isn't 'glorified ppv'.

so lets not pick a fight..I'm trying to be civil. This is what I meant by 'baiting', just for clarification.

Thanks

Without reading the post above, I know that Vampz always has to get the last word in, so lets just let him do so.
