Just like someone else posted awhile back ago, if you subscribe to MLB.TV, use a VPN like unblock-us and then you're able to watch the Braves that way. It's like $5 a month. Call Dish and ask for money off your bill. I blame this whole thing on Dish. Charlie Ergen holds grudges. The guy is...

I love MLB TV too and pay $125 for the service, but they blackout the Braves games here in Atlanta. Does anyone know a "workaround" to watch local games through MLB TV? I've seen suggestions on turning your IP into a proxy, but that seems to technical for me. I've also seen where you can use...

Well, the receiver swap out didn't solve it. Big surprise. I called another tech (#5 and counting) and he went ahead and changed the cables outside, but not the one into the house. Since then I think I had only one dropout since then, but that's one too many. We really don't watch that much so...

So the tech changed out receivers, giving me a 722 to replace the 622. But he didn't do that much checking. He didn't seem that knowledgeable as he didn't really know the difference between the 722 and 622. But anyway, so far so good. But the problem was intermittent, so we'll see.

No, we don't have an OTA antennae connnected. Naturally, on the day the Tech is here, the receiver is working flawlessly with no signal losses. Still, he's going to change out receivers. I'll report back on how the new receiver does. I still have my doubts. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

When he came out the first time he aligned the dishes and messed with the LNBs. We have to have two dishes because one dish can't find all satellites without trees getting in the way. Someone is coming out Wednesday. I'll post a reply then.

We have only receiver, and there's nothing obstructing the dishes. In fact, I had a tree service remove some limbs around the area for better coverage. I just can't figure out why the check switch looks fine, but we continue to get signal loss.

Had a Dish tech come out to try to alleviate this problem. Everything seemed to be working fine, but now it's back again. I have two dishes, one for 110/119 and 129. They're getting good strength. When doing the check switch, it all looks good. But it's impossible to watch anything as I keep on...

I know we're getting sidetracked here, but since we can't watch our RSNs, what the heck. But I don't necessarily agree with your argument. POSTING of speakeasies (just like posting of illegal live streaming websites) are not illegal. The speakeasies and the sites themselves are illegal...

You're missing the point. I pay Dish/Fox to watch it at home. I liken this to prohibition. When the government (Dish/Fox) banned alcohol (programming) in the 1920's, the people found other ways (illegally via streaming websites) to get their alcohol (programming). Finally, the government...

Does anyone know of any websites that stream live games illegally? And preferably for a Mac. I know they're out there. Sunday is Bobby Cox's last game as manager, plus the Braves could make the playoffs, and I'll do what it takes to watch it.

UGH! I just spent $30 for the itunes season pass of Mad Men to get it in HD. Beats hooking up my computer, though.

That actually happened to me for the first time last week. I recorded the hockey game on Versus but while it showed that the three hours was recorded, it stopped approx half-way on playback and returned to the option screen like it was over.

Thanks to all, guys. It's working.

I have a Channel Master StealthTenna which is hooked up through the 622 DVR. For some reason I have lost all my UHF channels but the VHF channels come in as usual. When I hook up the antenna directly to the TV I can receive the UHF channels, but not through the DVR anymore. I have zero signal...
