    Problem with Dish Remote Access

    I've had the sling adapter with a 722 for a few weeks. I have an iPhone while my wife has an android (Droid X), both on Verizon. I was able to watch live tv and the dvr over 3G on the iPhone for the first few days, now I get the "sling connection lost" message while trying to startup on 3G...

    Not able to record CSN Chicago

    WGN has the Cubs tomorrow, not the White Sox. I finished an online chat session. Not the sharpest pencil in the drawer... Thank you for being a valued DISH Network customer, I will be happy to assist you today. Please give me a moment to access your account and review the information you...

    Not able to record CSN Chicago

    I'm trying to record the White Sox opener tomorrow and it claims "it is not available for viewing in your area." Anyone else in the Chicago area having the same issue? I tried both SD and HD and no luck. FWIW, it will let me record pre-game and post game. I should be in their home...

    SatelliteGuys 4.0 (upgrade) Problem Thread

    Just an observation from frequent visitor, but non-frequent poster... Perhaps I am mistaken, but on the "recent threads" on the right, didn't it used to state which forum the recent posts were from, I.E., Dish Network forum, Directv forum, the Sports Section, etc? I found that especially...

    Why is dish still missing games in HD?

    It was basically the same coverage on the major four networks that CSN had. I'm guessing the coverage on Versus and NHL Network was probably similar as well, although I didn't switch over to those. So, six HD options and you spent 5-10 minutes typing this up complaining when you could have...

    Is this Happenning with anyone else?

    Sounds like your problem has been fixed, or soon will be. Good deal. But am I missing something? Out of curiosity, does your wife somehow not count for being in the household? In some households, if they play their cards right, they sometimes even count twice or three times. :D I'm sure...

    ESPN Actually Wants to Broadcast a Super Bowl

    Of course people watch ESPN. I don't think that is up for debate. However, the main point is that more people have access to CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC than have access to ESPN. Generally speaking, unless you don't have a TV (with reception), you have access to the networks. Having access to...

    ESPN Actually Wants to Broadcast a Super Bowl

    Yeah. I think the rights to the SB are negotiated along with the NFL regular season games--at least for the main NFC and AFC broadcast networks (currently FOX and CBS respectively). Obviously the Sunday night winner must get something too if NBC has had it recently and will have it again in...

    Thank you both.

    Versus NHL games on CI?

    I have never had the NHL Center Ice package and couldn't find an answer searching... If you subscribe to the Center Ice package, do they also show the games carried by Versus or are those exclusive to Versus? The reason I ask is that my hometown Blackhawks are going to be on Versus...

    The Dodgers Season is Over

    Teams go through bad stretches every season. To say the season is over, while still in first place by 4.5 games mind you, is ridiculous. Granted, being in Chicago (and a White Sox fan at that) I can't say I watch many Dodgers games. However, I'm going to say Torre knows what he's doing more...

    MLB announcers thread

    Most of the announcers in Chicago are "homers." Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, Cubs, Sox... radio and tv. However, Harrelson (White Sox tv) and Santo (Cubs radio) are arguably two of the biggest "homers" you'll find. Watching sports in Chicago, I guess you kind of tune it out because you are so...

    hbo starz free w/ no 24 month commitment

    I'm an AT&T bundled customer and it even worked for me. I was shocked as it seems I'm not eligible for most of these promos, i.e., Cinemax for a penny. Basically, I just have to give my email address. Channels were on in less than 5 minutes.
