    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

    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    San Francisco locals

    I know the big 4 locals from San Francisco are offered by an "independent" company ConUS if you get waivers, but if I "move" to an address that gets SF locals will I get them? I am not in the SF spotbeam...

    Sirius Channels a la carte?

    I'm thinking about downgrading my E* service but I don't want to cancel completely because I like the Superstations and Sirius music channels. I'm currently on AT250, so I'm curious if I can go to Family Pack and add the Superstations and Sirius music a la carte? Or do I have to keep my...

    Drastic volume level shifts

    Watching HD football on ST today I noticed some pretty big differences in volume levels. I felt like I was adjusting the level all day! Some games much softer than others, and even consecutive commercials on the same game feed at very different audio levels. Is this something with my equipment...

    HD Sports this coming Sunday

    I'm a little concerned. I see my Cubs are on TNT Sunday morning in Game 4 of the NLDS. Now, I remember reading a while back that D* was taking down TNT-HD on Sundays to make room for NFLST. Is this still the case with the new Mpeg4 channels? The game starts at 1 PM eastern, right with all the...

    Entering Channel numbers to HD default?

    Sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere. I've noticed today when I put either "206" or "247" in my H20, it goes directly to the SD version of these channels rather than the HD. I am using a favorites list with the SD versions deleted, so the guide only shows me the HD channels. Still...

    H20 software update?

    When I turned on my H20 receiver today, all of the channels I get with an OTA antenna were gone. I had to do a new search for channels and update my favorite lists. Why did it do this? Also, I notice there is a much longer hesitation bringing up the guide and using the menus. Was there some...

    OTA games on MLB EI

    So I couldn't help but notice tonight that the WWOR feed of the Yankees/Pirates game was up on extra innings. Makes me wonder why there have been a couple times this season where games that are only being carried on OTA networks aren't on the package. On the game mix channel it will show the...

    Getting installed tomorrow. Couple questions

    I'm looking forward to getting D* installed tomorrow for baseball! However, since I already get my local HDs OTA, I'd love to "move" my D* account to LA for the distants. Should I feel out the installer to see if he's cool enough to activate with an LA addy? Or if I should activate with my local...

    Chicago HD locals

    Am thinking about "moving" to Chicago for the baseball season. Does D* have the Chicago HD locals on Spotbeam or conus? I was thinking about "moving" my E* account, but they don't offer WGN in HD.
