celtics HD I don't get it either. I also got "blacked out" from two Celtics games last week. I should get them based on my address. One of them was on TNT and CSNNE was "not availabe for viewing in your region" and the other was not nationally broadcast. I only casually follow the...

Thanks, that's what I thought. So if I forget to set my DVR I can do it from anywhere. Other than that, no big deal, right? Anyone have any luck with a Sling Classic and a VIP receiver? I wonder how complicated it'd be to get the IR blaster working with it since TV2 (the one we'd want it to...

I'm not sure I understand the Dish/Sling interaction. I have owned a slingbox (staged at a relative's house for out of market sports) for several years, so I get the Sling concept. Can I use my 722K (hooked to broadband and registered, etc) to actually watch content online or just...

that's what I figured. I want to make sure that I'm reading "the list" correctly. As I look at the stations that I want to get (for example, Hartford) what exactly do I need to look at if I want to "move" without changing any equipment? I know how to find the Dish Pointing menu and I figure...

I live about 50 miles north of NYC and in the spotbeam for Boston according the maps here:SatelliteGuys.US - Dish Network ALL. I want to see if I can "move" and get Boston HD locals. According to the channel list, the HD locals I want are on the 61.5, Txponder 5, spotbeam 2. We're tuned...

what do I need between the LNB and the box? Diplexers, etc? I was planning on just unhooking the whole mess from my wall jack and running that straight to the dish. Will that work?

Is the skew very important? When you say 90 deg, does that mean that the dish would be essentially flat or rotated so that it looks like it's on its side? As I'm pointing the dish, which angles should I try to adjust first?

I'll be tailgating this weekend (and many other weekends in the next few years) at West Point, NY. I'm a Dish amateur but wanted to try to get some basic TV setup. Right now I have a Dish 500 in my shed that is set up for the 61.5, but that won't get me ESPN (I think). I don't care about HD...

Any luck on the "move?" I'm looking to do something similar. -- Another displaced Boston sports fan.

I'm thinking about switching to DirecTV from Dish. Has anyone found a service address that gives both NY and Boston Regional Sports Nets? (somewhere in connecticut?) (Answered my own question, I think: 06415, according to the DirecTV website, will do both YES and NESN.) I'm going to be...

Thinking about my own tailgates later this season and I've got a few questions... I have a Dish 500 and want to catch locals and ESPN and ESPN2. I also have a Dish 1000 (pretty sure it's not a plus or .2, etc, how can I tell?) The locals in the area on 61.5... probably no luck on the OTA...

oh yeah... any advantage to taking the dishes (I have a 1000 and a 500) off the house and moving with them?

more questions about the switch Long story short, I've got Dish (just over 2 years) and like it. I am moving from TX to outside New York City in 2 weeks. I can cancel Dish or move with it. I'm very interested in the locals. Specifically the options to "move" to Boston. Maybe it's shady...

thanks Right, currently in the WACO market. I spent some time on the Channel Lineup List SatelliteGuys.US - Dish Network ALL and found that it's pretty much a non-issue, right? I didn't realize that Dish had most channels on both the 110/119/129 and the 72/77. With the HD locals only on...
