    Fox Sports 1

    I just found the following at http://www.fuel.tv/fueltvfaq/ : "Besides UFC, which other FUEL TV programs will be featured on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2? You’ll see a variety of programs that ran on FUEL TV carry over to FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2, including the Red Bull X-Fighters...

    We Want FUEL TV HD!!!!!

    We have been talking to Dish about Fuel HD ever since Direct got it. We have been promised by CSR's that we would have it within "insert your amount" months. Never believed them-and were not disappointed. We are forever fans of motocross. Not only is their Fuel SD, it is very bad SD. Riders...

    Hey Dish!!!! Fix the aspect ratio for Fuel!!!!!

    We are 2 more that really need Fuel in HD. And, we will definitely switch to Direct if they don't go HD for motocross next year. Riders have 12" high numbers on their backs, and you can't read the number! It isn't just SD, it's very very bad SD. Thanks, Boni and Bill in Sunny Southwest...

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Have we started to create a list of all the locals involved? I know NBC in Phoenix, but haven't watched the other channels, so couldn't tell you. OTA is out for us-we live in a small outlying town 200 miles from Phoenix. I think they only have FOX locally. Really only watch FOXNews and a few...

    Red Bull Air Races in HD - Not!

    Thanks for the reply, Sam. We missed this last Friday because we are travelling, but did see it at a restaurant on Direct in HD. I have looked at the FSA schedule, but also can't figure out what bold is. If it was in HD, it would be the first one. I think they don't do this truth in...

    Red Bull Air Races in HD - Not!

    OK, so no one knows why Fox Sports Az doesn't broadcast Red Bull Air Races in HD. So, a couple of questions-does anyone get the air races in HD, not in the Az area? So, is it Fox Sports Az, or is it Dish? This is starting to bumm us out-new season coming. First, it was Speed HD took 13 years...

    Red Bull Air Races in HD - Not!

    Hi, All, We are huge fans of the Red Bull Air Races. They have always been produced in HD. It is advertised in HD, we watch it in HD in bars - bars that have Direct. We have had HD for years, and enjoyed the Air Races in HD for years. ...until Fox Sports Arizona started carrying it. We...

    Fox Sports HD

    I think it would be nice if they had to have a certain percentage of HD broadcasting - say >1% (I hope you see I'm joking, but our FSNAZ wouldn't even meet that), before they could say this channel is on their list of HD channels. Still miffs me that my favorite program is available in HD...

    Fox Sports HD

    Hi, All, We are receiving the HD package, and receiving Fox Sports HD, Fox Arizona HD edition. We know the Red Bull Air Races is produced and advertised in HD. But, we don't receive it in HD or basically anything else on Foz Az HD. We didn't know why we didn't receive the HD version, and...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Well, time will tell. Coming from engineering, we can't remember when something actually fixed itself. Maybe short time or long time, but problem always comes back. Actually, had a few second 'black screen' today. Won't try for a tech until there's a chance of it acting up when tech is here...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Thanks everyone for the replies. We have not had anymore problems. Hope it stays that way. About the sunfade, hubby and I are ham radio extra class. Sunfade, as we know it in the ham radio application, happens on an 11 year cycle-don't know where the cycle is right now. The result of...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Both times that sat went out, it came back spontaniously as we were talking to 'tech support'. Second time, we unplugged receiver, and it seemed to correct problem. This was a several hour occurrance each time. So, quite disturbing. Seemed to be sat 129, all or mostly. We're hoping that...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Problem again We are having the problem again this morning. We know we are getting all the satellites, just not all the transponders. For our locals, there is a message that there is a problem with the system and sorry but there are lots of other channels to watch. But, don't call them...
