    DISH Network vs. SportsTime Ohio

    Sabres Not!!! The odds of that happening are about as good as the Sabres winning the CUP in the next two years. MSG - Sabres deal runs through 2016-17 season. Do you know of anyone who "moved" so they could sub to NHL Centerice and get the sabres games on the other teams announcers? I...

    New Channels Coming to Dish

    Getting MSG HD on Dish, would get me back as a subscriber.

    Back when Dish had the "Stop feeding the pig" Advertisements, they weren't kidding.

    Cheaper, but compare the channels and RSNs? if you live in NY State, no MSG, No SNY and No Yes. All of those others will provide those channels. So you are really feeding the Pig Charlie....because according to him.....those three RSNs cost him $10 to $15 a month. Must be he splits the...

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Not true. They could do the same as Directv is doing now; charging $5 for new subs to get their RSN. MSG's will give you Sabres, Rangers, Islanders and Devils (if they ever play hockey); plus the Knicks. YES gives you Yankees and Nets. SNY gives you Mets. If Dish offered me MSGs in HD for...

    Pac-12 Network

    Wrong. Time Warner will have it. On or about August 15, 2012 the following channels will be added to the Time Warner Cable Sports Pass: PAC-12 Network SD Ch 190 to all Buffalo channel lineups. Ch 291 to Olean/Olean North/Wellsville/Ulysses channel lineup. PAC-12 Network HD Ch 865 to all...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I might only care about sports; but my wife certainly doesn't and she would kill me, if her home and garden channel, DIY network, and all her crime and investigation shows weren't available. Plus, the only sports she really cares about are teams that are 75 miles north of me, being the Toronto...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Where I live; Verizon only offers dialup, plus I cut their cord about 5 years ago and went strictly cell. FIOS is only available in certain select areas of Western New York.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Directv is an option for us in the NY DMAs, however the Cable Companies (Time Warner anyways) knows that Dish is not offering our home team sports; plus we all require high speed internet and for many of us Time Warner is our only option, so when you bundle video with internet, Time Warner has a...

    Got a call from DISH Network today. They said they my receivers weren't updating or something?

    Yes, but they need to use some common sense, and depending on the case give them some slack. I.E. my father is 95 yrs old and he is very fortunate to be able to still drive, use his cellphone and his tv remote; but we had to drop his digitial cable and get him straight old analog cable tv...

    DOES DISH BLOCK ISP'S?

    Fox Sues Dish Over Ad-Skipping Auto Hop

    How do these network lawsuits have any validity period. Commerical Skip has been around for years and the Networks have not sued or won a suit over it. Furthermore; the networks should be more concerned about the practice of providers using technology to replace network commericals with their...

    Got a call from DISH Network today. They said they my receivers weren't updating or something?

    Why would anyone put up with this audit crap. If they want to check your equipment they can call politely and to arrange an appointment to send a representative out to your home at your convenience. After all you are a paying customer. Utility companies have to do the same if there is not an...

    Could you live with only a dozen channels?

    In the early 70's we were fortunate to live in a U.S. Canada Border City, so that gave us five channels out of Buffalo (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and a Independent), plus we got CTV and CBC out of Toronto and a Independent out of Hamilton. Sports Fans like me, got to grow up Hockey Night in Canada...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    The whole problem is, that you should decide what channels you want. Not them. Not any provider. You got to remember something here. They are not a public utility. You should dictate your service not them! If you go to the same gas station for years, and now they only sell premium...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Excuses Excuse for Dish Fans! All these channels you are losing are in HD and many of us who used to be Dish Subs are now watching and enjoying them from other suppliers. First it was Voom, Then the Disney/ESPN Disputes. Then the NY Sports Regionals. Now these channels. When are you people...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    It looks like the only way these disputes are ever gonna end is if the FCC steps in and forces binding arbitration on the Channels and the providers. Isn't time the consumers stops getting stuck in the middle of these disputes!

    Charlie has a 10-year plan for Dish

    Perhaps he is gonna sling them to us NYers using a TWC or Directv subscription in a hidden apartment somewhere in NY:eek:

    Charlie has a 10-year plan for Dish

    I pay $30 for 2gb on Verizon, because I have iphone. 4gb is for the Androids on the LTE Network. However, I use wifi at home, work and where ever I go when possible and have barely gone over 1gb in a month. That includes using many streaming video apps. The right device using wifi first and...

    Newb here....contract with Dish expired, but they said we don't have any offers, what is everyone el

    Its called competition and not only for dollars but programing. When my two year deal with TWC was up (I left Dish after 5 years); I told them they were crazy if they thought I was gonna pay retail for their offerings when I could switch to Directv for video and stay with TWC for internet and...

    NHL Center Ice HD

    Actually NHL Gamecenter is starting to make more sense to subscribe to, especially since you can view it on any mobile device and still hdmi it from a laptop to a hd tv.

    NHL Center Ice HD

    I thought the NHL Center Ice Package was a separate entity that was sold by Indemnd to the cable and satellite companies. At least that was the explanation I received when MSG and Time Warner had their dispute, and that is why I still received the Islanders and Devils games on MSG on Centerice...

    Dish/Echostar Employee Discount Program?

    Didn't realize that Scott changed the name of this site to "Dishnetwork's" Satellite Guys????, and I pity the poor people who work at BlockBuster in New York State. They are gonna have a lot of success selling Dish, especially when the subject watching your own hometown sports teams comes up!
