LOL. Now I KNOW what I'm doing this weekend... :D .

Was the "tweak" setting the skew to Zero? (where it should have been to begin with) Otherwise, there is no skew setting you should be messing with. One bird = NO skew ;)

I understand what you're saying, but when I do the due diligence on a receiver's CA ID by calling Dish directly, where's the risk? When I can get a receiver for 1/3rd or less what it retails for, that's a pretty good deal. Not to mention, that nothing prevents me from selling it again when I'm...

I own my equipment to stay out of programming commitments. Buying receivers cheap off eBay, and often getting the dishes for free on Craigslist has worked out great for me. (People just love to have someone come get them off their roof :)) I do have a DPP twin, so I think I can set it up the...

Hi all, I currently have a D500 system with a 322 receiver. I'm in the New England area and I don't think I can use a D1000 to get 129 (129 just isn't available in this area, correct?) I'm planning on buying one of the Dish HD receivers (I own all of my equipment), but am wondering what sats...

Can't you get your locals in HD OTA? You'd be surprised what a "cheap" UHF antenna can get you nowadays. How far are you from the local broadcast towers? You can check here: Address If you can pull locals in OTA, then "moving" to get Brewers games makes the most sense ;)

Dude, I was just posting another source. If you have a problem with Swanni, take it up with him. I just don't care...

Yup...It was announced on TVPredictions.com, here: TVPredictions.com Forum - Dish Network Adds Sci-Fi, USA HD Good stuff :up

Yes, should being the key word. I did that and it showed NESN and SNY...Dish then proceeded to black me out of both! What Dish considers your local RSN is horsesh*t. Check MLB.tv and see what THEY would black you out on...those will be the teams MLB considers local to you. If the Royals are...

Bela, That ceo address did nothing for me, either. Not even a canned response. The Dish CSR's are trained to be complete jackasses regarding blackouts, because they think the customer is always trying to get something they're not entitled to. My advice: CALL Fox Sports directly and get them...

Yup...keep alternating between phone calls and chat sessions. ;) Luckily, i got mine on the first try. (However, I was not a previous Skinimax subscriber...) .

A 50" Samsung flat-screen BETTER have one built in....

Dude, your antenna will pick up plenty (And if it's THAT old, go pick up a different one for $30 at Radio Shack). Case in point: Last night, just f*cking around, I decided to finally test the digital tuner in my Flat-screen HDTV. We live about 20 miles from most of the stations. I ran a long...

I tried that email address (that everyone swears by) and they didn't even respond to my blackout problem. :mad: bela, What is your zip code (if you don't mind posting)? This sounds like another Dish screw-up, not MLB...I can look into it further for you. .

Brother, who knows with Dish! I've had my battle with them, got it resolved, and now I get some MLB replays that are completely out-of-market. (Orioles on MASN, for one). When they were blacking me out of my local teams, I wasn't even getting those on the replay. Go figure. :rolleyes...

If that is what they told you, but cannot deliver on it, then that's a classic "bait and switch" scam. Better Business Bureaus do not look kindly on that. If you're looking to get out of your contract, that's probably your way out. Or just downgrade your basic service and buy the E.I. package...

Go here: The Official Site of Major League Baseball: Subscriptions: MLB.TV On the left side is a box where you can input your Zip code. Basically, this tool tells you what your "local" teams are, since they would black you out on them if you tried watching them online via MLB.tv If you...

nicklenights, I think most of those posters didn't even bother reading what was going on. If they had, I don't think we'd have seen such asinine responses...maybe :rolleyes: Can you tell me your situation? You can PM me if you don't want to make your Zip code public...

Don't worry, blackouts are blackouts....they suck regardless! Just as a test, I tried a town in Eastern NC to see what MLB says are your "local" teams. At least in New Bern (Zip 28563), it says your local teams are the Nats and O's....no Braves listed. So maybe you live farther South than...

Hi All, I have a DishPro 500 system. I was wondering if all of the major HD channels can be received on 110/119? I know a lot of local HD are on 129 or 61, but I don't need those since I have OTA working just fine. Thanks

MLB takes action to reduce TV blackouts I was glad to see this. Maybe by next year everyone will get the games they're supposed to... :) MLB takes action to reduce TV blackouts - MLB - Yahoo! Sports :up

That is what I like to hear!! :up

PhilAce, That's great! I'm glad you were able to get it done, too :) You know what NESN thought the issue was? Those 4 numbers they've started using after your 5 digit Zip Code. They're pretty sure Dish was not updating those in their system. So yes, Dish should be more responsible and...

Because I LIKE Dish....and want to keep them. I also wanted the teams I am entitled to watch...which are listed in the America's Top 250 package I PAY for. My problem with Dish is just that they DO have certain control over blackouts...they just need to get off their asses and make sure...

Guess What? Great news!!! NESN calling Dish apparently did the trick, as I'm watching my Red Sox lose right now. So I should be petitioning MLB? I TOLD you this was a Dish Network issue... As a side note, the Mets are no longer blacked out to me either, so this was the kick in the pants...
