    Accidental HD PPV Ordered

    If it's Angels and Demons, it's a push by Directv. Lots of us got it. Just delete it. __________________ Chip So you are telling me that DirectTV is purposely putting "Angels & Demons" on their customers DVR's...hoping that many of those same customers will think it's a "Freebie"...

    HR2x / R22 Software Release 10/23 0X368

    I recieved the latest update last night around 2:00 AM. I had set my HD-DVR (mod. 22 I think) to record "Imus in the Morning" every day (M-F) on the Fox Biz channel since he joined FBN about three weeks ago. I will call it "Imus ITM" hereafter. No problems recording "Imus ITM" until...

    IL to AZ Dish Network Equipment move

    I just purchased a vacation home in the Phoenix metro area. I want to take the VIP622 + dish from my home in Illinois (plan to get DirectTV at my home address this summer anyway...I want my MLB Network at my primary residence!). FYI, I currently have two Dish Net dishes...one that was...

    herky-jerky channels anyone?

    I noticed today that I'm having some herky jerky problems on some channels. I first noticed it this morning when I DVR'd a cable news program. It was hard to watch the scroll at the bottem of the channel. Now, as I watch programs live, I still notice the problem on any channel with...

    ESPN Cubs Blackout

    I DID NOT say I live in the Chicago market. I live in west-central Illinois 225 miles SW of Chicago....far, far, far, FAR from the Chicago TV market (I'm actually in the Quad Cities and Quincy markets)

    ESPN Cubs Blackout

    Help! I'm a major league Cubs fan and I am being blocked from watching them pursue their playoff run on THREE freakin' Dish Network Channels tonight (Wed. 9-17). I live in the Cubs market in Illinois. I also subscribe to the Multi-Sports package. The Cubs are on ESPN Ch. 140 and are...

    Dish Launches Big 10 Network

    I was watching this also. A few minutes ago, the announcers said that they were having visual technical problems (over the whole feed) due to storm-related tech problems. Not Dish Network's tech issue...This Time! :cool:

    Big Ten Network

    Mediacom is also a big cable player in Illinois. They are my cable internet provider in Western IL

    Big Ten Network

    Looks pretty "exclusive" to me. This is a snippet from the BTN website. DIRECTV CHANNEL 220 DIRECTV has designated its Channel 220 as the location of the Big Ten Network and will make the network available as part of its Choice programming package. The satellite provider has also committed...

    Big Ten Network

    I guess I am one of the 5% who will switch to DirectTV over this issue. I already lost access to MLB-EI, which I subscribed to. Too not be able to watch the BTN on my home TV is unbearable. Now, it looks like I will have to go to a bar or a lucky friend's house who has DirectTV to watch Big...

    Big Ten Network

    What corner do you buy your narcotics on dude? You have to be amazingly high to say that Big Ten alums in Chicagoland don't care about Big Ten Football and "no one gives a rat's ass about Big Ten Football." Why do Chicago area fans travel each Fall weekend IN DROVES to Madison, Champaign...

    Big Ten Network

    I got this in my mailbox yesterday...an official email from the University of Iowa! I am on the Hawkeye sports e-mail list announcing ticket sales and other events regarding Iowa Hawkeye sports. How funny! Now the University of Iowa is officially LOBBYING to FORCE Mediacom (and probably...

    Big Ten Network

    I'm in total agreement with Tom. I love E* HD, but I can't deal with a company that has no interest in keeping MLB baseball fans or fans of teams in the Big Ten. It's sad that Dish Network is more interested in pacifying the Cricket or International Soccer audience than providing the sport's...

    DOn geronimo to XM?

    i'd love to have Don and Mike on XM. but that goofy Dave (aka Rupert Pumpkin)who runs dcrtv.com is probably just speculating.

    Extra Innings for 2008

    my contract with dish network is done early next May. As a past MLB EI subscriber, I am pissed that Charlie Cheese did not truly negociate to keep MLB EI for 2007 and beyond. Because of DIsh Networks idiot decision, I am 100% sure I am dropping Dish and joining Direct TV next May. You had...

    Big Ten Network

    Golly Gee Whiz, Almost all of the companies listed below are Iowa entities (Cedar Falls, Grundy Center, Harlan, Hiawatha, Iowa Network, Muscatine, & Spencer for sure). I sure hope that the Big Ten network is negociating with cable compaines outside of the Hawkeye state. I don't want the...

    How can I find out for sure if FSN-MW has been added as a second RSN in my zip code?

    Big Ten Network

    Anyone know if the Big Ten Network will be on Dish Network? It's a make-or-break deal for me and I'll switch TV providers if Dish is too cheap to add it. Seems to me that Dish is pretty good at screwing Sports fans anyway, unless you like friggin' PPV Cricket or Futbol.

    Multisports ?

    Has FSN-MW stopped blocking Cardinal broadcasts to Dish Network subscribers in Central Illinois and parts of Iowa? Earlier in the season, both DN and Direct were blocked from showing those broadcasts in my zip code in Western Illinois, but later DirectTV worked out a deal directly with Fox...

    Distant Network Update.

    Dick Durbin is my senator. Dick Durbin is the guy who unbelieveably equated the U.S. Military's handling of radical Islamic detainees with the horrors of the Nazi Concentration Camps and the butchery of the Stalinist purges. Dick Durbin is sadly my senator. He will never earn my vote.

    XM Radio Suspends Opie & Anthony

    They gave into pressure from the Right Wing? That is a totally absurb statement. Rev. Al representing the Right Wing? Get real! This is not about the "Right Wing" or the "Left Wing". It is about free speech, the corporate lackey's overreacting to special interest groups, and radio...

    XM Radio Suspends Opie & Anthony

    Free Speech and comedic license on the radio are being threatened. First Don Imus got railroaded by MSNBC and CBS Radio, even though he did EVERYTHING that the corporate suits asked him to do...and Imus seemed very sincere to me in his apology. The Nappy comment was very unfortunate...
