    Hearst Television Inc. blacks out DISH customers in 26 markets

    Hearst Television Inc. blacks out DISH customers in 26 markets

    My wife has informed me that she is done with DISH. We lost both ABC channels with this as well as local news in NH. Needless to say, the hopper 3 that I Love is being replaced with a Tivo and Spectrum. It makes me sad, but I don't see any other way around it. I even bought a local antenna...

    DISH First to offer NBA Team Pass

    DISH First to offer NBA Team Pass

    haha, of course people watch the NBA. :) And yeah, I've learned to live with the fact that comcast is holding dish hostage on this one. It's as stupid and greedy as it gets.

    DISH First to offer NBA Team Pass

    Ok, for the record, I just checked with Dish, if you live in New England, and get this package you will NOT get the Boston Celtics... Just an FYI in case anyone was thinking this was a way around the stupid issue with Comcast Sports NE... :(
