    DISH Comcast Dispute?

    The Comcast SportsNet sports networks are part of NBC Universal. Dish and DirecTV have never carried CSN-Philadelphia. Could Dish request arbitration as a vehicle to obtain CSN-Philadelphia?

    MLB Extra Innings Now Available

    When I use MLB.TV's "Blackout Locator" it gives me a list of 2 teams that I will be blocked from seeing. When I type in my zip code, it gives me a list of 4 teams that I will be blocked from seeing. It's all the difference in the world for me, because my team is one of the two that is caught...

    CSN Philly saga could end - if DIRECTV and Dish agree to arbitration

    "Comcast SportsNet has offered to go to arbitration with both of the satellite services with the hope that they will sign on soon to give Phillies fans the opportunity to tune in regardless of their service provider." "When Comcast became a king of content as well as distribution by acquiring...

    AAD Distant Question

    With Dish I had two 722's and our family loved them! The new Directv Genie system looked great, the pricing deals were unreal, and I could bundle with my phone and internet bill. In reality, we hate Directv's program guide and layout. Dish was so crisp and clean - easy to use! With Dish, I...

    AAD Distant Question

    I recently switched from Dish to Directv after 15 years (wish I hadn't by the way). For several years I had distant networks from All American Direct (AAD). I kind of miss my Distant Networks and have a question: If I can get a used Dish Network receiver, could I obtain the Distant Networks...

    Miss Dish -- how long until eligible?

    I recently switched from Dish to DirecTV, and I miss my Dish remote and guide! Directv is a mess. How long do you have to wait in order to be eligible as a new customer again for Dish? Does Dish ever have any offers that pay your ETF for you for switching back?

    Any new updates on CSN Philly situation?

    I keep letting several months go by, and then come on asking if there are any new updates regarding CSN Philadelphia being added to DirecTV or Dish. At last report, Comtrash was asking for something like $5 per subscriber for the channel, and both DirecTV and Dish were telling them to go pound...

    RSN eligibility issue

    I live in Central Pennsylvania. With my zip code, Dish says I am eligible to receive MASN, Comcast SportsNet Mid Atlantic, and Big Ten Network. If I punch in my zip code with DirecTV, however, it says I am eligible to receive all those channels PLUS Root Sports Pittsburgh. Right now, I...

    722 Remote Issue

    I am having some problems with my remote (or is it my 722 receiver). For the past few weeks, every time I sit down to watch tv I take the remote, turn on the television, and then turn on my receiver. No problems so far! Then, for some reason, I get no response (when I try to change the...

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    Ok, so Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia is demanding something outrageous ($5 per subscriber) from Dish to add the channel. Would they be open to an ala carte deal? For instance, anyone wanting CSN Philadelphia can have it for, say $10 per month.

    Still no CSN-Philly on Dish!

    I know this question gets asked repeatedly every few months, but has anyone seen any updates as to if/when CSN Philly will be added to Dish Network? All the news reports I have seen say that Comcast must provide the channel to Dish and Direct, but it still doesn't get added. Will this...

    Lost my HD Locals

    I live in central PA and I have lost my locals in HD. I was on the Eastern Arc. Anyone else experience this? About a month ago, I lost my HD locals on their regular channel numbers (8, 21, 27, and 43), but I still had them on upper 4-digit channels. Now, they are gone, too. I still have the...

    Americas Everything Pack

    Unfortunately, no! I believe Dish does a huge disservice to excellent customers by NOT including the sports pack in "America's Everything" pack. Shouldn't the sports pack be part of "everything???!!!"

    CSN Philly -- When???

    The FCC closed the terrestrial loophole, and an appeal of ruling has been denied. When will Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia FINALLY come to Dish Network??? It's baseball season, and us fans in PA want to see the Phils without having to pay Comcast for cable service!!!

    722 Freeze problem

    I have a 722 receiver and just started having a problem. When I firist turn on the television and the receiver, the receiver comes on but is unresponsive to the remote control for about a minute. Then, all of a sudden, it starts reacting to the commands. It is quite frustrating to say the...

    Help for All American Direcet Channels

    Moving to HD

    Hello, all! I am finally taking the plunge to HD and would like the advice of the forum folks. Right now, I have just a 2-room system and use a 625. With my move to an HD television I will need a new Dish (have a Dish 500) and a new receiver. Which receiver do you recommend? Also, if...

    DVR question

    In addition to my Dish DVR service, I also have basic cable service (to get some stations that I cannot receive via Dish). I know the answer is probably "no" to this question, but is there any way to use my Dish DVR to record shows off the cable feed? The cable goes into my Dish receiver, so...

    Big Ten Network

    Don't give in Dish! Pay BTN 5 cents per subscriber and nothing higher. The general populace doesn't want it. Don't make people pay for something they don't want. The BTN negotiators should be wearing masks at the bargaining table the way they are trying to hold Dish and the cable systems up...

    Significantly Viewed Locals

    Big Ten Network

    Go pound sand, BTN! The Big Ten Network is being outrageous in its demands of Dish Network and cable systems. They want the channel placed on a basic tier of service, and they are demanding over $1 per subscriber in states where a Big Ten school resides. It's time to put the Big Ten in...
