    Fox Sports Regional game question

    it shouldn't be blacked out. Doesn't mean it won't be, though. College is always really iffy.

    D* Single-wire Solution for MDUs

    Yeah I don't know about the D* process but I would assume its the same as the other companies doing it. http://www.solidsignal.com/cat_display.asp?CAT=Headend I never worked with the equipment in the headends themselves but heard a lot of the terminology. As far as getting set up with...

    D* Single-wire Solution for MDUs

    Eh, I'm not sure that I am answering what you are looking for exactly but yes, there is a Stacked LNB option with D* equipment with MDU's such as apartments. Basically you get a mini-rack and mini-receivers and run them though a stacker and send it out. Thats the quick of it anyways. The...

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    Hrm. I move and DTV will send out an installer and give me a new dish and do the wiring at no charge. And its only another year commitment? Are all guys really so afraid of the "C" word?? Jeez, they are just trying to keep customers. It wouldn't exactly be profitable for them to do all...

    Problems with sportspack in Philadelphia...

    Er sorry, I'm too lazy to edit my other post but I misread what you are trying to do. It would be real unfortunate if you lost your job and had to move to NYC. Then you'd have to call DTV and tell them that you moved to NYC and give them your NYC address. Then you'd get these games and the...

    How can I get Texas Tech basketball games?

    Don't think you'll get any games on the TTTN. I don't think anyone carries it besides the local market in Lubbock. Some of the games on ESPN full court may be broadcast from TTTN, but if the games are on TTTN and not on ESPN full court, don't be suprised =/ As far as the RSNs go, you might...

    Problems with sportspack in Philadelphia...

    What you get is based on your address, not what long/lat you have in the satellite receiver. And actually, you may not even be able to get your city's team games with the NHL/MLB/NBA packages. I know that people in Sacramento (until last year) had no way to get the Kings' games due to them...

    no game on either channel... .

    Well, one of these teams would be considered "your" team. You can look on DTVs website, they have a Sports Nework search by zip code and it'll tell you which games you should receive. However, this is hard for anyone to answer without you telling us where you are. Also, are you sure the game...

    Why is here! ch 190 being cancelled?

    My guess would be a lack of interest on the channel. As far as the other poster goes, HERE! was always a "pay per view" channel. However it also had an option of being a flat rate monthly.

    Pirate satellite TV to cause $1B loss (HONG KONG)

    Milk went up to $3.65 a gallon? Well thats outrageous, we should just steal it. If they were concerned about milk sales, they would prosecute shoplifters more. Gas went up to $3.00 a gallon? Well thats outrageous, we should just steal it. If they were concerned baout gas sales, they would...

    MLB Extra Innings AND Fox Sports??

    Boondock - you should get your RSN , if you have the sports pack or not. Its part of all the Total Choice packages. If you live in an area that has several teams, you may want to check the RSNa channels. Places like Texas have several teams that all show on Fox Sports Southwest - however...

    MLB Extra Innings AND Fox Sports??

    Baldone - you are lucky then. Being subscribed to the Sports Pack does not bypass blackout rules whatsoever. You get access to the channels themselves and the regular programming, but not the games. The games are blacked out unless you live in that area. If you are getting the games on...

    How to get signal in US if Overseas Channel provider says it is available?

    You can see the list of Dish Network channels here: http://ekb.dbstalk.com/dishlist.htm and use this website to see where that Satellite is pointed: http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/satellite.html That satellite points straight at India so no way the US could pick it up.

    Read About My Nightmare As A Dish Network Customer!

    dufoenet's post (not bashing) Since the thread was locked I just wanted to report what my step-father said about the wood damage in the pictures. I did not tell him what happened or how it supposedly happened and just told him the equipment involved (satellite box, possibly dvd player that...
