    NHL Network HD - 129W trans 30

    The last couple of days the signal strength on 129 transponder 30 has dropped to almost nothing on a frequent basis. Signal strength on most other 129 channels/transponders seems OK. This is very noticeable on NHL Network HD. Anyone know of anything going on with 129? I shudder at the...

    NOG/N -NickG

    Hey, at least Charlie has company now. Looks like Time Warner is playing hardball with Viacom and will lose Nick, The N and the rest of the Viacom family tonight if they do not get a carriage agreement set up by midnight. DISH subscribers rejoice, you can still ring in the New Year with (Nick)...

    Do people like DJs on music channels?

    I like the manner in which the Sirius DJ's handle things. Not to much but you know you are not listening to radio still.

    OLN status

    Dish called me about OLN today

    I have called and e-mailed the NHL, the local NHL franchise, OLN and Dish. They all blame each other. The worst response I received was from the local NHL franchise. They responded with an e-mail that said "I guess you will have to go somewhere else to watch the OLN games." It took me a...

    Any News about OLN

    As a season ticket holder for the Minnesota Wild I find it surprising how many Wild games are carried on OLN both home and away. As a Dish sub I do not get OLN and I also have the bad luck to live in a an area serviced by a cable company that will not carry OLN either. It is Direct or no NHL...

    OLN On Mediacom

    I currently have Dish Network and was looking at the possibility of getting cable so I could see the Stanley Cup Conference finals which OLN has exclusive in the US. It appears Mediacom in my area (Savage/Prior Lake, MN) does not carry OLN either. My question to other Mediacom subs or those...
