    No More CBS Sports?

    While watching an NBA game this evening, a screen popped up several times during the broadcast saying that there would be no CBS Sports on Dish starting on April 1. What's up with this? That's why I have the spoprts package.

    Al Jazeera America

    Try CCTV CCTV (China) Channel 279 has excellent worldwide coverage in their "news update". You can take their position in China-specific issues like the islands in dispute with Japan or navigation on the South China Sea with a grain of salt, but otherwise the coverage is objective and very...

    Sacrament Kings Basketball On Which Channel?

    Last season was a horror story, with games broadcast on different channels every game.. Any of the customer reps know what the upcoming season will be like? Same as last year, or on the same channel every night? And if so, which one? Thx.

    Sports Programming Is Screwed Up!!

    Thanks for the helpful comments. Basketball has always trumped hockey on CSNCA, but the same thing happened last year for the first local game of the season. 444 worked for me; I called Dish, got through to a csr, who sent me to 444, one of the alt sports chennels.

    Sports Programming Is Screwed Up!!

    I live in the area of the Sacramento Kings basketball team. In past years with Dish, the games were carried on CSNCA, a local Comcast sports network Tonight is the first game of the new season, and the game is supposed to be on that channel - but the Kings game is not there. Instead, there's a...

    Dish is forcing banner ads on premium channels.

    The silence from the Dish reps is deafening. Turn off the banners, ads and the 3 am DVR junk. Or give me a way to turn it all off.

And for those who want AlJazeera English, BBC, France24, CNN International, etc. etc., they are also available on the Nowhere (but it's there, all right!) channel on ROKU, together with scads of TV...

    BBC World News TV Channel

    It would be great if Dish offered an international news package including CNN International, BBC World Service, Deutsche Welle, Russia Today and Al Jazeera English. I've been watching a lot of Al Jazeera streamed via my Roku box, and occasionally CCTV9 (Dish channel 265) for news. Dan Rather's...

    increase OTA

    I have a rooftop antenna. When I had it hooked directly to my TV HDMI input, I could only get 3 channels for more than a few seconds (dropped signals). When I connected it to my 722, I get 8 channels (plus side channels) with no dropped signals. Most are at 100%. Shneor

    Dear Dish: Please add AJE

    I'd like to see Al-Jazeera English and BBC World News as well as EuroNews - but I'm in California, and they are apparently are not on any of the three satellites listed in my system (119, 110 and 129). Can Dish put them on one of these? I asked for Al-Jazeera English a long time ago, but it's...

    Dear Dish: Please add AJE

You can watch Al-Jazeera English at 7 pm PST on Link TV, channel 9410; they also carry Deutche Welle at 11 p.m. PST (I think). BBC News is on your local PBS channel...

    VIP722 internal hard drive

    My 722 drive went out when we had a momentary power failure a couple of months ago. It was totally hosed. Everything else worked just fine. Dish replaced it free. It's now hooked up to power thru a surge protector.
