    Hockey Blackouts?

    I was just wondering why all of a sudden this year Time Warner stopped showing the Rangers,Islanders and the Devils here in Rochester when last year they showed some of their games. Time Warner tells me that Rochester is in the blackout area but Direct TV says I am out of the blackout area. So...

    Low signal

    Thanks for everyone's response. I don't live near any military base's,airport's or any microwave towers. If it was a temperature problem would it also cause it to happen year round? Like I said earlier sometimes the signal comes back after 30 minutes or so but other times it lasts longer. I...

    Low signal

    Every night about 11:15 pm my signal for the NYC locals drops down to where I usually lose the signal. I only have a problem with the locals on the spot beam, not the other channels and it only happens after 11:15pm or so. The signal usually goes back up about 30 minutes or so later. I am on the...

    Hockey Blackouts?

    Does anyone know why TW here in Rochester NY (14617) has blacked out all of the NY Rangers, NY Islanders and NJ Devils this year on MSG. Last year at least half of these games were shown,depending on if the Buffalo Sabres were playing. This year all of the games are blacked out except for the...

    Cancellation charge's

    They told me that since I canceled that they also canceled all of my "credit's". That's why they charged me for my first receiver,which has always been free and also for HD even though I had free HD for life. I was just wondering if this was their standard policy when a customer cancelled. I...

    Cancellation charge's

    I had Direct TV and was out of contract and just canceled it. They said said they would pro-rate the bill for the month and credit my credit card for the amount they owe me. I see that they are now charging my account for the first receiver which is usually free and HD for which I had free HD...

    Turn Dish service on and off

    You could always buy your own receiver and install your own dish or have someone do it for you. That way you can turn your service on and off whenever you want to. You could also just get the Welcome Package for $14.99 and add any package with it.

    Dish Network guys: more help needed with RSN coverage issue

    Sometimes the RSN's offer a couple of different contracts with each contract covering different viewing areas. It could be that Dish has a new contract with FS Midwest this year and decided not to pick up the contract for the outer viewing area's since it costs them more money and decided that...

    Welcome Pack

    Thanks for the reply. So I just have to sign up for the AT120 and as soon as that is done they can switch it to the Welcome Pack without a charge?

    Welcome Pack

    I was a customer for over 12 years and and owned my own equipment. I had at200 until I went to locals only for six months and then canceled. Could I sign up for the Welcome Pack?

    MSG back on?

    What would be the cost for the Welcome Pack for one owned 211 receiver and the dish already setup? Is there any fee to startup or contract? I was an existing customer for over 12 years until they took MSG off so I had Dish shut off all of my owned receivers except one and I also switched from...

    MSG back on?

    I chatted with a Dish agent tonight and she told me that yes they did have MSG and MSG+ available in my area now. From what I just read on this web site it's not even uplinked anymore. The following is the transcript of what she said: Welcome to DISH Network, your home for TV Everywhere and...

    Great site- quick question. i have non swm sl5,1 h24 with bbc, with the 4 coax outs what do I need

    All you have to do is run one wire from the lnb to your H24 receiver. The four coax outputs are separate outputs and don't need to be grouped.

    MSG?

    I have to agree, if Dish's HQ was in NY it would be a lot different especially when Charlie's kids started to ask him where are the sports. There are still some sports fans I know that haven't left yet because they are still under contract but all have said that once they are out of contract...

    MSG?

    The NY area might be a small percentage of Dish's market now but if they had YES from the start and had not taken MSG off as well as offered full time HD for the games it probably would of been a much larger percentage of Dish's market. It's not only the NYC area affected by this but all of...

    Is there a minimum price I can pay Dish to avoid violating contract?

    I thought they said the Welcome Pack would not allow you to fulfill your 24 month contract but it would allow you to still have leased equipment if you were out of the contract?

    Locals Only

    How did you get the $5.00 credit for six months? I was with Dish for over 12 years and they told me they couldn't give me any credit.

    Question for installers ...

    You could run the wires before you have the installation done by Dish, that way you could fish the wires in the wall. Just make sure you use the correct RG 6 cable.

    Locals Only

    Why is your bill going up $5.00 in six months if you have the Welcome Pack and only (?) one receiver? The Welcome Pack is only $14.99 a month with locals.

    Convince me to stay with Dish / Tell me where I am wrong

    Hd is free for life for new customers with Direct with auto pay.

    Locals Only

    I'm sure it's both company's fault. Charlie doesn't like sports and Dolan the owner of MSG doesn't like any company that is in competition with his Cablevision company.

    Locals Only

    What about someone like me who bought my system over twelve years ago, installed it myself, had at least AT200 service, movies,sport packages,never had a receiver replaced,a service call or even one dollar in credits . Then Dish goes and takes off all of my local sports this winter (MSG) and I...

    Locals Only

    I know it's only another $5.00 a month but if you keep on adding another $5.00 to this bill and that bill it starts to add up especially when I don't watch any of those channels. Also they don't even give you those channels in HD. I never even got a letter about the change. I noticed it last...

    Locals Only

    I thought so too but now they tell me they don't offer the "Locals Only". You need at least the Welcome Pack which includes the locals even though I own my equipment.
