    DISH Announces Universal Sports Network

    Amen! While there is the point that sports is expensive and adds cost, there are MANY more channels I have not spent more than 10 minutes on since I started with Dish that I am paying for (Iceberg hit on a main one with manhater channels). Iceberg, you live in Duluth? Big series this weekend...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Wait....watch something else or turn it off It must be a nightmare...I used to work for Sprint Wireless and people would lose their mind when a tower went down. Image this on a nationwide scale. In the end, its still hardware that can fail.

    Universal Sports - World Track and Field Championships

    I know this has been posted before but want to keep it out there for the Dish "peepers" that watch these forums. I really would like to see Universal Sports added to Dish especially since the World Track and Field Championships start next week. I cannot get it OTA and DirecTV added it a few...

    DISH Loses 135,00 Subs in Second Quarter

    I pay Dish $150 per month for service and I am leaving this Friday to DirecTV. I don't care about their niche channels and want some decent sport IN HD (Universal Sports for one)! I didnt have any problems with Dish but it all comes down to programming. Dish keeps messing around with this too...

    Tonights Twins / Yankees Game Blocked??

    Mlb.tv does block the twins in mn (same as all markets). I would have directv if it were not for a huge willow tree in my back yard that blocks the satellite. Dish is just enough to the SW. Lucky me I guess... Did anyone else notice Charter is not on the list of providers that carry these games?

    Tonights Twins / Yankees Game Blocked??

    This has nothing to do with MLB Network so the answer is no. Click the link I provided above and it will tell you the info.

    Tonights Twins / Yankees Game Blocked??

    Matt - Can you tell Dish to stop being so flipping cheap? I'm sorry but I think for the $150 per month I spend I should not get gypped on these games. I know you are just the messanger and apprecaite the information but it's pretty rediculous. I just read this line again and it's TOTAL BS...

    Tonights Twins / Yankees Game Blocked??

    Plus the Twins are already down 3-0 in the first so I probably will not end up missing much. Radio I guess.

    Tonights Twins / Yankees Game Blocked??

    I should have looked further before I posted. Will you miss tonight's Twins game on FSN? Looks like FSN is carrying more games than before in HD and probably wanted more money in return that Dish decided not to pay. I already have the Everything pack and pay $150 per month for service so an...

    Tonights Twins / Yankees Game Blocked??

    I live in northern MN and typically get all games on Fox Sports North (ch 436). When I switch to the channel for todays game it says it's not availble in my area. Anyone know why? I cannot find it on any other channel. I did notice on MLB.com that the game is also being shown on the MLB...
