    Fox Sports 1

    I just found the following at http://www.fuel.tv/fueltvfaq/ : "Besides UFC, which other FUEL TV programs will be featured on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2? You’ll see a variety of programs that ran on FUEL TV carry over to FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2, including the Red Bull X-Fighters...

    We Want FUEL TV HD!!!!!

    We have been talking to Dish about Fuel HD ever since Direct got it. We have been promised by CSR's that we would have it within "insert your amount" months. Never believed them-and were not disappointed. We are forever fans of motocross. Not only is their Fuel SD, it is very bad SD. Riders...

    Hey Dish!!!! Fix the aspect ratio for Fuel!!!!!

    We are 2 more that really need Fuel in HD. And, we will definitely switch to Direct if they don't go HD for motocross next year. Riders have 12" high numbers on their backs, and you can't read the number! It isn't just SD, it's very very bad SD. Thanks, Boni and Bill in Sunny Southwest...

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Have we started to create a list of all the locals involved? I know NBC in Phoenix, but haven't watched the other channels, so couldn't tell you. OTA is out for us-we live in a small outlying town 200 miles from Phoenix. I think they only have FOX locally. Really only watch FOXNews and a few...

    Red Bull Air Races in HD - Not!

    Thanks for the reply, Sam. We missed this last Friday because we are travelling, but did see it at a restaurant on Direct in HD. I have looked at the FSA schedule, but also can't figure out what bold is. If it was in HD, it would be the first one. I think they don't do this truth in...

    Red Bull Air Races in HD - Not!

    OK, so no one knows why Fox Sports Az doesn't broadcast Red Bull Air Races in HD. So, a couple of questions-does anyone get the air races in HD, not in the Az area? So, is it Fox Sports Az, or is it Dish? This is starting to bumm us out-new season coming. First, it was Speed HD took 13 years...

    Red Bull Air Races in HD - Not!

    Hi, All, We are huge fans of the Red Bull Air Races. They have always been produced in HD. It is advertised in HD, we watch it in HD in bars - bars that have Direct. We have had HD for years, and enjoyed the Air Races in HD for years. ...until Fox Sports Arizona started carrying it. We...

    Fox Sports HD

    I think it would be nice if they had to have a certain percentage of HD broadcasting - say >1% (I hope you see I'm joking, but our FSNAZ wouldn't even meet that), before they could say this channel is on their list of HD channels. Still miffs me that my favorite program is available in HD...

    Fox Sports HD

    Hi, All, We are receiving the HD package, and receiving Fox Sports HD, Fox Arizona HD edition. We know the Red Bull Air Races is produced and advertised in HD. But, we don't receive it in HD or basically anything else on Foz Az HD. We didn't know why we didn't receive the HD version, and...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Well, time will tell. Coming from engineering, we can't remember when something actually fixed itself. Maybe short time or long time, but problem always comes back. Actually, had a few second 'black screen' today. Won't try for a tech until there's a chance of it acting up when tech is here...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Thanks everyone for the replies. We have not had anymore problems. Hope it stays that way. About the sunfade, hubby and I are ham radio extra class. Sunfade, as we know it in the ham radio application, happens on an 11 year cycle-don't know where the cycle is right now. The result of...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Both times that sat went out, it came back spontaniously as we were talking to 'tech support'. Second time, we unplugged receiver, and it seemed to correct problem. This was a several hour occurrance each time. So, quite disturbing. Seemed to be sat 129, all or mostly. We're hoping that...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Problem again We are having the problem again this morning. We know we are getting all the satellites, just not all the transponders. For our locals, there is a message that there is a problem with the system and sorry but there are lots of other channels to watch. But, don't call them...

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    Hi, We are in southwest Arizona. Much of DishNetwork seems to be down. Hard to tell whats up, but we have found Speed, all locals, Fox Cable news, NatGeo, ESPN2, many others are dead. We get a message on some of the locals that there is no need to call Dish as there is a problem they are...

    why phone line?

    Hi, Any way we can use our cell phone to fulfill the phone connection?? We have one cell phone and one TV. I know, it's hard to believe, but that's the way it is. Thanks.

    How far does 'local' area extend?

    HI, We have a buddy who says he is receiving his Denver locals (not distants) in his second home in Phoenix. I thoght that locals were spot beamed to an area and that the area has limits. But, I really am going by memory and assumptions (both totally unreliable!). Does anyone know specifics...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    Hi, Guys, Yesterday I received an email from Dish requesting that I resubmit my application for an rv waiver. Seems they have to requalify. I wonder if this is the start of requalifying everyone for the distant networks, just starting with the RV/Trucker waivers. My waiver app is ready to...

    Court Orders Dish to Drop ALL Distant Networks

    Yes, we do get HD. We get 110, 119, and 129. We would love to get 148 for CBSHD as it is the only network hd we get since we are distant network rv'ers. Could until we got new 211 with Dish 1000, but s/w won't even recognize another sat even thought we have the seperate dish for it. Need...

    Court Orders Dish to Drop ALL Distant Networks

    Yeah, surprised us. They said that is what will be used for all HD applications. It has what looks like 3lnb, but is really 5. Picks up 5 sats, weighs 35 lb., and is just too big. And, the installer, who looked like he was suitably intellegent, said it is really difficult to acquire. Since...

    Court Orders Dish to Drop ALL Distant Networks

    I have read the ruling. If people didn't cheat, there wouldn't be any house to clean. A universal problem-people not taking responsibility for their own actions. The attitude seems to be that is their right to cheat and Charlies responsibility to catch them. And, if he doesn't catch them...

    Court Orders Dish to Drop ALL Distant Networks

    Just my honest opinion (Quotes are just my loosely remembered comments): "Who watches commercials anyway?" Commercials are what it's all about. They aren't worried about who you receive program content from. "How many really need distant locals, anyway?" Like, who cares? Those of us who...
