I just purchased a vacation home in the Phoenix metro area. I want to take the VIP622 + dish from my home in Illinois (plan to get DirectTV at my home address this summer anyway...I want my MLB Network at my primary residence!). FYI, I currently have two Dish Net dishes...one that was...

I noticed today that I'm having some herky jerky problems on some channels. I first noticed it this morning when I DVR'd a cable news program. It was hard to watch the scroll at the bottem of the channel. Now, as I watch programs live, I still notice the problem on any channel with...

I DID NOT say I live in the Chicago market. I live in west-central Illinois 225 miles SW of Chicago....far, far, far, FAR from the Chicago TV market (I'm actually in the Quad Cities and Quincy markets)

Help! I'm a major league Cubs fan and I am being blocked from watching them pursue their playoff run on THREE freakin' Dish Network Channels tonight (Wed. 9-17). I live in the Cubs market in Illinois. I also subscribe to the Multi-Sports package. The Cubs are on ESPN Ch. 140 and are...

I was watching this also. A few minutes ago, the announcers said that they were having visual technical problems (over the whole feed) due to storm-related tech problems. Not Dish Network's tech issue...This Time! :cool:

Mediacom is also a big cable player in Illinois. They are my cable internet provider in Western IL

Looks pretty "exclusive" to me. This is a snippet from the BTN website. DIRECTV CHANNEL 220 DIRECTV has designated its Channel 220 as the location of the Big Ten Network and will make the network available as part of its Choice programming package. The satellite provider has also committed...

Cub (fan)'s Win, Cub (fan)'s Win....Holy Cow!

I guess I am one of the 5% who will switch to DirectTV over this issue. I already lost access to MLB-EI, which I subscribed to. Too not be able to watch the BTN on my home TV is unbearable. Now, it looks like I will have to go to a bar or a lucky friend's house who has DirectTV to watch Big...

What corner do you buy your narcotics on dude? You have to be amazingly high to say that Big Ten alums in Chicagoland don't care about Big Ten Football and "no one gives a rat's ass about Big Ten Football." Why do Chicago area fans travel each Fall weekend IN DROVES to Madison, Champaign...

I got this in my mailbox yesterday...an official email from the University of Iowa! I am on the Hawkeye sports e-mail list announcing ticket sales and other events regarding Iowa Hawkeye sports. How funny! Now the University of Iowa is officially LOBBYING to FORCE Mediacom (and probably...

I'm in total agreement with Tom. I love E* HD, but I can't deal with a company that has no interest in keeping MLB baseball fans or fans of teams in the Big Ten. It's sad that Dish Network is more interested in pacifying the Cricket or International Soccer audience than providing the sport's...

my contract with dish network is done early next May. As a past MLB EI subscriber, I am pissed that Charlie Cheese did not truly negociate to keep MLB EI for 2007 and beyond. Because of DIsh Networks idiot decision, I am 100% sure I am dropping Dish and joining Direct TV next May. You had...

Golly Gee Whiz, Almost all of the companies listed below are Iowa entities (Cedar Falls, Grundy Center, Harlan, Hiawatha, Iowa Network, Muscatine, & Spencer for sure). I sure hope that the Big Ten network is negociating with cable compaines outside of the Hawkeye state. I don't want the...

How can I find out for sure if FSN-MW has been added as a second RSN in my zip code?

Anyone know if the Big Ten Network will be on Dish Network? It's a make-or-break deal for me and I'll switch TV providers if Dish is too cheap to add it. Seems to me that Dish is pretty good at screwing Sports fans anyway, unless you like friggin' PPV Cricket or Futbol.

Has FSN-MW stopped blocking Cardinal broadcasts to Dish Network subscribers in Central Illinois and parts of Iowa? Earlier in the season, both DN and Direct were blocked from showing those broadcasts in my zip code in Western Illinois, but later DirectTV worked out a deal directly with Fox...

Dick Durbin is my senator. Dick Durbin is the guy who unbelieveably equated the U.S. Military's handling of radical Islamic detainees with the horrors of the Nazi Concentration Camps and the butchery of the Stalinist purges. Dick Durbin is sadly my senator. He will never earn my vote.

I signed up for All-American about 6 weeks ago, requesting all the networks east and west. Within a few days, NBC east and west showed up on Ch. 241 & 242, but I still haven't seen Fox, CBS, or ABC distant networks added yet. I plan to call All American in a few days to check the status...

Why should you get the premium channels in HD for free when the rest of us have to pay for HBO, Showtime, Skinamax, etc... Ante up and get the Everything pack if you really want Cinemax or any other premium movie channel in HD. Jeez.

Guess I'm going to be a DirectTV subscriber when my VIP622 committment ends in early '08. Dish Network has no MLB: EI. They can't provide in-market Cardinal broadcasts to me, even though DirectTV were able to secure an agreement with Fox Sports Midwest TWO WEEKS AGO to unblock the Cardinal...

I sent a letter via the dishnetwork.com system to "programming". Here's the letter and response I got. I guess I appreciate the fact that Dish Network is still " " but...if DirectTV was able to make an agreement with Fox Sports Midwest to show the games over a week ago (approx. April...

It sounds like most of the games that have been farmed out this year and in the past by ESPN+ won't happen in Big Ten country after this year, according to this article I came upon. This article appeared today (4/24/2007) in my local newspaper, the Burlington Hawk Eye in Iowa about the...

My Zip Code is 61480. I have watched Cardinal games on Dish Ch. 417 (Fox Sports Midewest) from 1999-2006. Now I can't. AND I can't even watch Cardinal games on ESPN when they are on FSMW...BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE TEAM'S TERRITORY. Understand NOW dishcomm?

I have a gut feeling that Dish won't give an anteaters snout about offering the Big Ten Network. Watching sports is becomming harder and harder to do on Dish Network. Let's see....in the past few months I have had my subscription to MLB:Extra Innings package taken away by a non-responsive...
