I called today as I did last year and asked politely for the current deal......they transferred me to retention (I never threatened to cancel) and they gave me the current deal. 5 free months of premier with purchase of Sunday ticket. I then took a shot at free superfan(got it free last year)...

I understand that's why I couldn't see it. That is why I went to the Dish network website to verify that the channel is available with the NHL starting this week and couldn't locate a channel number on their website ( http://dishnetwork.tvlistings.zap2it.com/dishsite/listings/gridall.asp ) . I...

I thought it was on 9468. I have the top 250 package. If you go to dishnetwork's website and go to the online channel guide(all channels) it doesn't show up. That's what threw me off. I also don't have any HD channels yet because when I got my install on Wed. the LNB that allows me to...

I thought Versus HD was launched on Dish last month but I can't seem to find it. What channel is it on? I've done a thorough search and can't seem to find the answer. The channel isn't listed on their website but I could have sworn it was available.

I thought that if you bought the NHL Center Ice package or NBA League Pass that it lifted the blackout restrictions on the various RSN's nationwide. If you can only get the HD RSN's in your local market then what is the point of having these channels on conus? Wouldn't they just put these HD...

If I have the sports pack will this allow me to watch all of the HD RSN's? If I have CI and the sports pack would that allow me to watch any HD games being broadcast on the various HD RSN's without being blacked out? Or would I only be able to watch CI HD games on the CI channels reserved for HD...

Well I finally got a CSR on the phone and she informs me that Starz-Hd isn't available. She tells me to keep checking their website for information as to when they would be offered. I then informed her that they are in fact available and *D's own website says so! She apologizes and re-sends my...

Another thing that occurred to me as it pertains to *E........E* now advertises 18 RSN's in HD but are those spot beamed or conus? If they're spot-beamed then only the regions of those sports channels will receive the game in HD broadcast on that channel. The way they explain it is still...

I know. I agree with you. I've been playing this game with satellite dishes for many years trying to get out of market pro sports. In the early 90's I got a C-band dish only to find all of the professional sports blacked-out on the RSN's except my local teams. Then they were not blacked...

What other packages do you get? They don't black out the HD feeds on the various RSN's? I thought you couldn't get the HD feeds without superfan?

That's how I read it too but *D only claims "some" which is a far cry from "most". If the RSN's are conus and you have CI, HD access and all of the RSN's then in theory you shoudn't be blacked out. However *D has a history of milking customers for extra money to access HD sports programming(ie...

After reading the transcript of Charlie Chat and the proclamation of *E to have most Center Ice games in HD this year as well as NHL network, I'm a little nervous. I just got *D on the promise of more HD channels but mostly because of the HD RSN's that are supposed to go live in October. I...

In regards to the Center Ice package. Let's say that there is no superfan option. I'm paying for NHL Center Ice and all of the RSN's. If the Washington Capitals are on Comcast Sports Network Mid-atlantic in HD then shouldn't the game be available? I mean what rules could be broken by...

Thanks for the info. I think I'll be all set then.:)

yeah, I lurk on here alot and didn't think I needed a phone-line but I wasn't sure with respect to the sports packages like ST.:)

If there is in fact a superfan option.....yes. But if they don't I don't think they should shut you out. I'll be surprised if they offer SF for CI this year. They're already taking orders for CI and there is no mention of a SF option.:(

What about NHL Center Ice where there isn't even a superfan option? If they blackout all of the HD games on the RSN's forcing you to watch SD, that doesn't make sense at all. If you're paying for the RSN's and the Center Ice package you should be able to watch in HD. If they don't then they...

I'm subscribing to *D this week and just noticed on *D's website that receivers need to be connected to a land-based phone line to receive sports programming. Is this really true? If it is, it could be a deal breaker for me. I plan on having Sunday Ticket as well as NHL Center Ice.:confused:

For what it's worth. I was a Directv customer 3.5 years ago and I just got a brochure in the mail this week offering the same deal to comeback to Directv that the new customers are getting. I took the plunge as the new HD channels that are coming online are too much to pass up. Call me an HD...

I received my bill today as well and was charged 31.29. I had been a valued Voom customer for over 1 year and was direct debited on the 15th of every month. I had called them on April 8th to tell them that I wanted the direct debit to stop and when my service that the 3/15 payment covered was...

OK. Let me get this straight. VOOM is struggling to add customers and they add a channel that only a miniscule percentage of the population would be actually interested in watching. What a spectacular waste of bandwidth!! I hate to say it but I'm starting to have a bad feeling about VOOM'S...
