    Just be aware though that some games will be (JIP) joined in progress. That can ussualy vary from a 1/2 to hour into the broadcast, and sometimes longer.

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    I left DISH as well last month after 14 years. It was hard to do, but too many failed carriage agreements with various channel providers this past year, with the last straw being the lost of Comcast Sports California. I gave them a month to resolve that dispute and they couldn't come to terms...

    New Dish RSN Dispute- CSNCA

    No, they removed the SD version as well. According to local news here in the Bay Area, Dish and Comcast Sports California took this to arbitration, and Dish lost. Instead of following the arbitration ruling, DISH decide to go back negotiations, so Comcast ordered them to stop broadcasting the...

    PBS in HD Today?

    Direct TV has KQED HD available and none of the other PBS stations in the Bay Area PBS stations available in HD. Why can't Dish do that? Is it an all or nothing mentality?

    Retro Television Network (RTV) on Dish?

    My source at RTV tells me today that affiliate agreement with Channel 38 in San Francisco is no longer going to happen. Back to the drawing board for RTV and the San Francisco Bay Area. :(

    Retro Television Network (RTV) on Dish?

    I stand corrected. It would appear the channel will go at 38-03. My bad.

    Retro Television Network (RTV) on Dish?

    I finally got an official reply from the folks RTV regarding the RTV appearing in the San Francisco Bay Area. The rep e-mailed me last night, and said the channel will show up on KCNS - 38. He didn't say, but I' assuming on sub channel 38-02, which is currently open with nothing being...

    Retro Television Network (RTV) on Dish?

    Those of us that live in the San Francisco Bay Area still cannot get the channel. Originally it was slated to go to one of the KRON- Channel 4 sub-channels. That never happened. Most recently, RTV's web site says the channel will appear on KCNS - 38 or one of it's subs, however to-date that's...

    Sharks game channel 409 HD

    I was wondering the same thing and I was getting very pissed off to say the least. After coooling off a little, I realized it had something to do with the Pittsburg vs. Ottawa game going into triple overtime. Once that game was done, the Sharks game in HD came on. That being said, again I...

    CSN-CA HD - Sharks Games

    Yes, there is some indication that DISH is trying to do something regarding the conflict with the Sac. Kings and SJ Sharks games on Comcast Sports California. I hate to admit it, but the chances of the viewer getting to see the Sharks in the Bay Area on Comcast Sports Bay Arae were much greater...

    Why not 24/7 RSN?

    On a somewhat related subject, last week I complained to DISH about blacking out a SJ Sharks game for me (I live in San Jose). It took several days, and this is the response I received: Jeff, Comcast SportsNet California has recently changed the delivery method of their HD broadcasts of...

    Dish and sports, come on!

    I believe the contract that DISH and CSN signed includes HD games. I had to go home at lunchtime, and I checked on my guide. Tonight's game is in HD, and it shows it being available. :)

    Dish and sports, come on!

    As far as the Giants game in HD being switched to the Reds/Cards game - that was another DISH Network error. It's happen before with Giants as well as Shark's games. This kind of error has occured at least 3 or 4 times before. On a related subject, it looks like DISH and Comcast Sports...

    Mounting dish on roof. Good or bad?

    I also did a self installation about 11 years ago. I upgraded it myself to Dish 500. The last 2 upgrades to Dish 1000 and to 1000.2 were done by professionals in the same location. It wasn't until the last upgrade that anyone said anything about my mounting location, but I insisted they live...

    What's YOUR tipping point?

    My tipping point is CSNBA HD being added. I'd also like to see Speed HD and FXHD. The others (CNNHD, NICKHD, WGNHD, HBO2HD, etc.) are just icing on the cake. Based on everything I've read here and the other DBS boards, the chance my wish list gets fulfilled are slim to none, so I will...

    The longest uplink (HD RSNs): Scott, can you rattle some cages?

    FSN Bay Area HD I've asked Dish Network the same question, and also told them that when my current contract expires (Agust 2008) and if there still is no FSNBA HD, I will go with Direct TV. I'd like to get more HD channels like anyone else, but if anyone were to ask me if I could only get one...
