    fox sports dispute

    To the OP. I live in Columbia, MO and have lost the Cardinals and the Royals games on Dish. I'm an MLB.TV subscriber and subscribe to a VPN service (something I'd recommend if you ever use public hotspots). VPN lets me route my internet traffic through any number of cities, so I can see all...

    So I had Dish installed yesterday :(

    Thank you to everyone for your replies. Christina, I held down the SAT button for one minute. SAT lights up on the top of the remote, but nothing else does. Holding DVR+Guide also lights up SAT, but it doesn't do anything more. I never get any sounds. I'd un-paired the remote and receiver...

    So I had Dish installed yesterday :(

    Everything went fine, the installer finished a little before noon, and I went off to work. I was watching TV on my joey (small, slave receiver) last evening about 8 PM, and saw a message that I had a remote software update and could cancel it by pressing any key. I pressed any number of keys...

    what was he thinking?

    I was really looking forward to having the premium channels free for three months (switched to Dish on 11/30). I have a 7 yo and have missed a lot of promising movies since he's been around. I've been terribly disappointed to find out that Starz has stopped showing films in their proper...

    DirecTV wouldn't take my cancellation for an order

    Well, I got an email at about 4:30 this morning that my DirecTV account has been disconnected. That's progress! I do have a problem with the government letting U-Verse buy DirecTV, but their support had gone south long before that acquisition. Way back in the days of the usenet and...

    DirecTV wouldn't take my cancellation for an order

    When I called DTV last month, I was sent to retention. Once I explained to them that Dish had already been installed and that I was under contract with them for two years, they let me cancel (or so I thought) within five minutes or so. She told me that I had boxes on the way for my receivers...

    DirecTV wouldn't take my cancellation for an order

    So I was a DirecTV customer from Sept 1995 to Nov 30, 2015. I had Dish installed that afternoon and called DirecTV to cancel my programming that night. I was told that boxes would be here for my equipment in two weeks or so, I would be missed as a valued customer, etc. The boxes never came, and...

    MLB Extra Innings on Dish?

    I've never used this, but it looks perfect for streams. http://www.fountainware.com/Products/AudioDelay/

    MLB Extra Innings on Dish?

    IIRC, DirecTV and MLB tried to work out a monopoly like DirecTV has with Sunday Ticket. The federal government made some noise, and both sides backed off. Dish dropped MLB Extra Innings though. This was maybe between the 2006 and 2007 seasons?

    MLB Extra Innings on Dish?

    I bought this little toy: http://www.sportsyncradio.com/ It lets me delay the Cardinals radio broadcast to match the television. It's overpriced, but I LOVE IT.

    MLB Extra Innings on Dish?

    I've bought individual months of mlb.tv before, and I have a media PC connected to my main TV. The problem is that it only gets a 4:3, 1024x768 window in the middle of the set, with black bars on either side. I was hoping that that the package showing up for Dish in all of the TV listings...

    MLB Extra Innings on Dish?

    I've been considering switching to Dish for a few years now. One of the things keeping me with DirecTV is MLB EI. I remember Dish dropping it years ago (after 2006 maybe?). There is nothing about it at dish.com, and I can't find anything to lead me to believe that Dish has it except that all...

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    I am pretty sure that I am the only Aggie who has posted on this thread, and all I said "Long time no see, guys! I loved the game last night!" I was just dropping in to say hi because I've been spending my season on other sports boards. If I'd known I was going to be ambushed by some jackass...

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    It's well known throughout Texas that his father owns land in the oilfields outside of Tyler, TX. They're loaded. That's how he afforded the courtside NBA seats. Here's a 20 year old kid who has the world by the balls and knows it. More power to him.

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    Insecure?!? We kicked your asses all over the field on national television. Why would I be insecure? Oh, and I got the WAC comparison from the game thread on soonerfans.com. Dig through and find it for yourself. I don't remember what page it's on, but I happen to agree with it. The 70-63...
