    Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg

    BTW, and maybe Iceberg can answer this (thou I ragged him a little bit), which hockey team will the Atlanta tv market be assigned to next season on the regional sports networks, if any?

    Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg

    Seriously, congrats to Winnipeg. And consider yourself blessed that you're not getting the same ownership group. Idiots were suing each other, and then when the laswuit was finished, they sued the lawyers claiming malpractice for letting them sue each other. Just a bunch of dysfucntional idiots...

    Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg

    I'm looking forward to watching Iceberg have a major meltdown IF the Thrashers stay in Atlanta. That should be quite entertaining.

    Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg

    Unlike the Flames, this time it's all about ownership failure with the Thrashers. "Dysfunctional" doesn't even begin to touch it. They had people suing others within the ownership group. This would be no different from Jim DeFranco suing Charlie Ergen over some kind of acquisition that Ergen...

    DISH Secures Long Term Cricket Rights

    Good for the cricket fans, but seriously, this is embarassing how Dish is over-hyping this. Surely Dish doesn't think this will quiet down all the baseball fans screaming for the MLB network.

    Anyone else having problems with their HD locals off the 77 sat?

    Just noticed that Scott sent me back a PM from this morning that this is just a fiber issue. Thanks Scott.

    Anyone else having problems with their HD locals off the 77 sat?

    When I first got up this morning at 5:00 I noticed that the Macon HD locals (which come off the 77 sat, transponder 13) were digitized. I called dish and the CSR did confirm they were having a problem on their end and it wasn't my system. Now, she didn't clarify and I didn't ask if this was...

    Macon, GA Locals Back

    Dish carries 13, 16, 24, 29 and 41 in HD off the 77 sat. 58 and 64 are SD. Sounds like you may need an upgrade to either a 1000.4 Eastern Arc Dish or a wing dish aimed at the 77 sat for your current system (I'm assuming you already have HD receiver(s) with a 1000.2 dish).

    Lost 77 overnight .... what's wrong

    Actually, I agree with that. It does seem they purposely mentioned "small to midsize". Now, maybe it's more of an attempt to minimize the hit they may take on their stock on Monday. I must say thou that as a subscriber in one of those "small to midsize cities" (Macon, Ga) that lost their...

    Ask the Dish TSR's OTA Questions

    Go back and reread my post. I didn't say I knew thousands of Dish subscribers. I said everybody I knew that had Dish was pissed to point of dropping Dish. Dish itself is at risk of losing subscribers, whether it be a few, hundreds, or thousands. We didn't just lose one, we lost two of the...

    Ask the Dish TSR's OTA Questions

    I would like to know what Dish is going to do to keep from losing hundreds if not thousands if not more subscribers in the Macon, Ga Local area. Most subscribers here got a nasty surprise today when they turned to ABC 16 and Fox 24 to find those channels were no longer on. Everybody I know that...

    DISH NETWORK PRESENTS OWN: OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK

    Maybe Charlie Chuckles thinks this makes up for taking off both, I repeat BOTH, ABC and FOX in the Macon, Ga. area. OWN - who knew so much stupidity could fit into such little bandwidth?

    No Uplink Today

    Unfortunately, it looks like those of us in the Macon, Ga area will see 2 changes this coming Saturday morning as the company that owns Fox 24 and ABC 16 is still in a pissing match with Dish over a new contract. The old one expires at midnight, Friday night. So, unless they reach a last minute...

    Better Business Bureau calls out Dish, satellite TV

    It can also go the other way. There are times when I get someone with a heavy northern accent and can't understand a word they're saying.

    Dish can seriously go pound sand!

    Actually if you check the "Subscription List" you'll see that Dish also broadcast MPEG4 SD from the 77 sat, including a few SDs for Paducah. In Macon, we're getting all the HD and SD locals off the 77. Unfortunately FOX and ABC are only being shown in SD for whatever reason (contractural...

    New HD local markets being launched

    Saw a Dish Network guy at the gas station and asked him if he knew anything about it. He said the only thing they've heard is the Macon HD Locals were pushed back to the 18th. He said none of them knew why but that was normal for Dish not to give them a reason. He said the only thing to...
