    DNS service with waiver?

    If you live in a "White Area" and can't receive tv signals, BUT DIRECTV provides your locals, can you still get a Distant Network Signal IF the local station grants you a waiver?

    Any deals to get free Sunday Ticket this year?

    Curious to see if anyone has attempted to secure free Sunday Ticket for the upcoming season, and what deal they were able to get.

    Unavailable channels on guide

    I live in the Harrisburg/Lancaster/York, PA market. Several months ago, NBC Channel 4 from the Baltimore market, as well as a CW Channel 50 from the same market started to be mapped in to my program guide despite the fact that these channels are totally blacked out in our area. It actually...

    Slingbox question

    Since it appears that CSN Philly will never come to Directv, I am considering purchasing a Slingbox so I can hook it up to a Comcast Cable box at my mother's place and get the Phillies games this summer. I noticed there are a few different Slingbox models. Does it matter which version I purchase?

    Another year coming, 2016...

    Will the new year bring us the long sought after CSN Philly to Directv? I have been hoping for years and years and years. Despite winning FCC rulings, the channel is still not part of the lineup. I guess CSN can say they "offered" the channel, but there's no regulations/controls on the terms...

    Will Merger help in CSN Philly situation?

    Now that AT&T and DirecTV have officially joined, is there any prayer that CSN Philadelphia can FINALLY be brought to DirecTV? I didn't know if the new company would have more clout/ability to negotiate a deal to end the decades old saga. Philadelphia sports fans have suffered long enough!

    Future streaming of local/distant channels

    With streaming growing seemingly by the day, does anyone believe we will one day soon be able to "order" over the air broadcast networks from distant cities? You can already read the newspaper from virtually any U.S. city online. I would like to be able to purchase distant network channels via...

    Baseball in two months...will PA fans still suffer?

    Is it safe to assume that when the 2015 baseball season opens in April that all satellite tv customers in PA will STILL be without CSN Philadelphia? I can't believe there is still no agreement after all this time. The only ones suffering are the fans that want to watch the games on television...

    Significantly Viewed (DIRECTV calls them Neighboring Channels)

    It's my understanding that DIRECTV is permitted to add significantly viewed locals to subscribers' packages. I live in Central PA and my zip code places me in the Harrisburg/Lancaster DMA. Thus, I receive all the Harrisburg/Lancaster locals. Our location is right on the edge of the DMA, as...

    Receiver won't respond to any command. Ideas?

    My Genie receiver is stuck on a particular channel and won't respond to any commands. I have two other televisions with remotes, and they are functioning fine. I first thought it was a battery issue, but after trying to other batteries I had in the house and then going to the store for brand...

    Long-running MLB games not available?

    I was a long-time Dish subscriber before switching to DIRECTV last summer. One of the things I always enjoyed with the Dish Sports Pak was the ability to see the endings of Major League Baseball games whenever the games went past the 3 hour time allotted to them on the programming schedule...

    CSN Philly saga could end - if DIRECTV and Dish agree to arbitration

    "Comcast SportsNet has offered to go to arbitration with both of the satellite services with the hope that they will sign on soon to give Phillies fans the opportunity to tune in regardless of their service provider." "When Comcast became a king of content as well as distribution by acquiring...

    CSN Philly saga could end - if DIRECTV and Dish agree to arbitration

    AAD Distant Question

    I recently switched from Dish to Directv after 15 years (wish I hadn't by the way). For several years I had distant networks from All American Direct (AAD). I kind of miss my Distant Networks and have a question: If I can get a used Dish Network receiver, could I obtain the Distant Networks...

    Miss Dish -- how long until eligible?

    I recently switched from Dish to DirecTV, and I miss my Dish remote and guide! Directv is a mess. How long do you have to wait in order to be eligible as a new customer again for Dish? Does Dish ever have any offers that pay your ETF for you for switching back?

    "info" on programs - confusing.

    I am a recent transfer from Dish to DIRECTV. I like the DIRECTV programming packages, but I must say Dish's remote control and DVR features are light years better. For instance, I accessed the old mini-series North and South ON Demand, and unless I am doing something wrong or missing something...

    Any new updates on CSN Philly situation?

    I keep letting several months go by, and then come on asking if there are any new updates regarding CSN Philadelphia being added to DirecTV or Dish. At last report, Comtrash was asking for something like $5 per subscriber for the channel, and both DirecTV and Dish were telling them to go pound...

    RSN eligibility issue

    I live in Central Pennsylvania. With my zip code, Dish says I am eligible to receive MASN, Comcast SportsNet Mid Atlantic, and Big Ten Network. If I punch in my zip code with DirecTV, however, it says I am eligible to receive all those channels PLUS Root Sports Pittsburgh. Right now, I...

    722 Remote Issue

    I am having some problems with my remote (or is it my 722 receiver). For the past few weeks, every time I sit down to watch tv I take the remote, turn on the television, and then turn on my receiver. No problems so far! Then, for some reason, I get no response (when I try to change the...

    Any news on CSN-Philly coming to DirecTV?

    I asked on the Dish forum, and not much response. The terrestrial loophole was closed, Comcast appealed and lost, but still no new news. One person said Comcast is simply asking a steep price and that neither DirecTV nor Dish will pay for the channel. Recent news on this subject just isn't...

    Still no CSN-Philly on Dish!

    I know this question gets asked repeatedly every few months, but has anyone seen any updates as to if/when CSN Philly will be added to Dish Network? All the news reports I have seen say that Comcast must provide the channel to Dish and Direct, but it still doesn't get added. Will this...

    Lost my HD Locals

    I live in central PA and I have lost my locals in HD. I was on the Eastern Arc. Anyone else experience this? About a month ago, I lost my HD locals on their regular channel numbers (8, 21, 27, and 43), but I still had them on upper 4-digit channels. Now, they are gone, too. I still have the...
