    Bar in Chicago with Dish?

    Actually for reasons that make no sense to anyone, Comcast is not carrying Pac12 in this market (or DC for that matter). When I moved in June I added Comcast TV to my internet package (in addition to being a Premier/NFL ST/NBA LP/MLB EI customer at Direct for years) to cover myself for EXACTLY...

    Bar in Chicago with Dish?

    Looks like Dish is the only option for me to watch tonight's Arizona/Oklahoma State football game on Pac12 Net here in Chicago. Anyone here know of any bars that have Dish instead of Direct or Comcast where I might be in luck tonight?

    Need help getting my DirecTV sevice in a Chicago High Rise

    Trust me, NOBODY likes spending quality time with alcohol more than me. But when you work at a bar 5 days a week, the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of off time there too!

    Need help getting my DirecTV sevice in a Chicago High Rise

    Great! I wasn't familiar with a non-penetrating roof mount but I will look into it more. Is that something most intallers have or is it something I will need to go out and get on my own to give to the installer?

    Need help getting my DirecTV sevice in a Chicago High Rise

    First of all let me apologize in advance for the lengthy post. Here is my situation. I moved from AZ to Chicago a while back. Here in Chicago I live in a high rise that only has Comcast as an option. I moved my D* service to my parents' house in AZ to keep my legacy receivers (H20 and HR20)...

    MLB Saturday Blackouts EI vs. MLB.tv

    Is there anyone at D* we can get in touch with where our comments will ACTUALLY be heard as opposed to just whining to a CSR who couldn't care less? Something similar to E*'s ceo@ e-mail?

    MLB Saturday Blackouts EI vs. MLB.tv

    So what you're saying is D* could run these games on EI if they wanted to, they would just have to black them out once that FOX window hits? I know baseball fans have been complaining about this FOX Saturday thing for a long time but this is ridiculous!

    MLB Saturday Blackouts EI vs. MLB.tv

    I would love to know if anyone has an explanation why non-FOX Saturday day baseball games are available on MLB.tv but not on MLB EI? For example, right now the Cubs are playing the Astros at Wrigley. Game started at 1P Eastern, Noon local. I've got it on MLB.tv just fine. But every channel...

    "Moving" - Ceil 2 question

    This is good news, but will it last? Are they done moving cities to Spots or could Chicago be the next to go?

    Having trouble with Sat 110 TP 3

    I did check this one for drift, and it appears to be fine. I'm getting a signal strength of 30 on 110 tp 11. Could my dish itself need a bit of an adjustment?

    Having trouble with Sat 110 TP 3

    Sorry to rehash the topic, but I finally got around to replacing the LNB with a brand new, identical unit and I'm still having this issue. Most transponders on the 110 sat are giving me a strength of around 30, while transponder 3 is still below 10. Any channels on that transponder are still not...

    Having trouble with Sat 110 TP 3

    It does indeed say I have LNB drift on 110. Is there anything I can do to correct short of getting a new LNB? I have nothing blocking my dish, its a clear day and ideal conditions.

    Having trouble with Sat 110 TP 3

    I have noticed lately anytime I try to go to a channel on Sat 110, Transponder 3 I get a no signal screen. This is the only transponder I'm having this issue with. The others on the 110 satellite have low signal levels, but I seem to get those channels fine. I have a 522 hooked up to a DP Twin...

    "Moving" Oddity

    I had a similar experience when I "moved" from Chicago back to Phoenix a while back. I was not getting Phoenix locals, but was getting Phoenix RSN. I was not getting Chicago RSN but was getting Chicago locals in the 7000 range, however they weren't mapped down. It seemed to me as simple as the...

    Cubs/Giants on 668-1 issues

    It's the bottom of the second inning, and we are still getting the Giants feed on 668-1, which is supposed to be the HD alternate for the Cubs broadcast from Comcast Sportsnet Chicago. Both of the MLBEI channels (746-1 and 747-1) are showing the Giants feed from Comcast Sportsnet Bay Area...

    Momentary black screen on ESPN?

    Just curious if anybody else is seeing the same thing I am. For the last few weeks, ESPN will randomly go to a black screen with the audio still fine. It will last for one second at most. I have an HR20 and it has not happened on any other channels I regularly watch. And I thought maybe it was a...

    MLB EI on Saturdays?

    It seems like this is going to be a very good year for MLB on D*. I'll be thrilled if the dual feeds become a reality. I'm wondering if there is any progress on putting Saturday early games on EI? In addition to the FOX "national"(regional) games at 3:55 ET, there are usually a few games that...

    HR20 recordings

    Just activaed my HR20 yesterday. Do you mean I can record two shows and watch a third live program via OTA? Or do you mean I can record two shows and watch something previously recorded at the same time? I would love to figure out how to record, say, ESPN and TBS at the same time as I watch...

    Why No HD For March Maddness!!!

    KPHO here in Phoenix is airing all of the NCAA games on its digital subchannels. So far I have not seen them air any HD, although KOLD in Tucson, which is also using it's subchannels for extra NCAA games, is airing HD on 13-1. I find it odd KPHO can't do HD on 5-1. Any other markets have similar...

    Is my 522 dying?

    Forgive me in advance for the wordy post. I'm going to be as specific as possible to see if anyone can help. Last night upon coming home to watch something recorded on my 522, there were no recordings listed in the "My recordings" section. On top it said I had 14+ hours of available space to...

    Custom MLB Spring Training Schedule for Sports Pack Subscribers

    It's worth adding that the Mets games listed on here on "CW11" as Local Broadcast Only are avaialble on WPIX if you have the Superstations pack. These are not blacked out.

    Classic Baseball blackouts

    This was mentioned in another thread but I think it deserves its own. Today Comcast Sportsnet Chicago is re-running three classic Cubs games called by Harry Caray in honor of his passing ten years ago. I live in AZ and have the sportspack, and these games are blacked out. Why on Earth would a...

    SWM Question

    Here's a somewhat random question. Would a "Dish Separator" work for this? It is a device from E* that allows one line to be used for two tuners. I know it's unlikely but maybe this piece of E* equipment could be used for D*? Or is the technology just too different?

    NBATV blackout?

    It's the same as ESPN's Wednesday night baseball broadcasts. The national feed on NBATV is blacked out if you can get the game locally. The argument is this is done to protect the local rights holder (CSN West in this case). Since I am out of the Kings local area, I was able to watch them tank...
