that's what everyone said when I had the Dish network, when they had MSG, I got it then, it was an alternate channel listing.

will do. thanks.

choice extra package and 16509 for zip

thanks for all the help here, I did a search and found oct 7 game on channel 694 or 692. which I set to record. Trouble is, when I went to these channels to see what is on these today, I got a message saying I wasn't subscribed to either one of these channels. weird.

Anyone in Erie, PA who watches the Sabres games on direct tv? Where can I find the games, I only find Rangers games on MSG.

Well, here's my final assessment on the whole install, etc... I guess I'd rather have a long (4.5hrs) install than a 1/2 hr one. I choose a local dealer(Erie Satellite), and I'm glad I did. All went well - HR24 + H25 receiver, working fine. Guide is filling up, and I have to say that the...

well, 4.5 hours later, install complete! everything looks great, one problem: the guide just shows about 1 day in advance so far. I'm thinking maybe it just hasn't had enough time to install, I'll give it till overnight and see what happens. You supposed to turn off the receiver overnight, or...

I guess I'm wondering that because I have an older tv(DVI or Component) and a newer one(HDMI), I won't be able to use the Whole Home DVR option that ordered. Right now I have the ability to record/watch/delete between both sets with the Dish DVR(622). If for some reason, the DVI connection is...

Getting Direct tomorrow, leaving Dish... Whole House DVR question: I understand that I won't get 1080p due to the fact that my main tv has DVI or Component hookup, but will get 1080i. Upstairs tv 720p HDMI connection, but looks good even now with Dish. Now main tv is hooked up component...

Appreciate...... all the info, I'll talk to direct folks about wiring (external wiring not an option), my MSG (buffalo sabres) situation is important as the wiring is, due to what Dish did to us fans this year!

not sure... didn't look to see inside walls for coaxal type. Works fine w/dish, though. Do installers provide new runs, if needed? Installed in up to 4 rooms the ads say. Asked this question elsewhere, also: Anybody know how long the carriage contract is with MSG/Directtv?

Considering move from dish to directtv, wondering if I'll have any problems using cabe runs that were installed when house was built in 1987. thoughts?

Any news on carriage contracts expiring this year for Directtv? Am interested particularly in MSG(rainbow?).

I don't have the exact same dvr, but once in awhile, tv2 will start changing channels all by itself. I'm just waiting for a break in the weather then I'm done with dish. going with direct tv - can't wait! Also, the hd channels lose audio for about 5 seconds, mainly on the CBS network shows...

Ouch, that hurts! True words, though, after seeing Dallas crunch them on my PC last night. Trying to hold on and not switch to D, but it's getting tough out here in Erie, PA, especially now that we have Local Channels. With the deal from D, is it true that I can record 2 things at one time...
