    Comcast offering free MLB Extra Innings to Dish Customers?

    Question for ya. I'm on the West Coast and watch east coast games mostly. Can you start the game from the beginning at any time? or do you have to wait until the game is over before you can start watching.

    Any progress between MLB and E*?

    Yes, in HD. I record the knicks games with league pass.

    Any progress between MLB and E*?

    This is absolutely false. I have the NBA League pass and I see the Knick games on MSG all the time. When I had Center Ice, same thing with the Rangers. I also can watch the rest of the programming on MSG and MSG + because of the sports pack.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    We'll all know who caved when the 10k's come out for each company. They have to list in the 10k's an outline of what the result of the whole spat was. Keep speculating until then. Once the quarterlies are out, we'll all have a better idea.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    That is incorrect. The FCC when setting up DTV used contours to mirror analog coverage. They are still in effect. It's just dependent on which side of the coin your at. :) Ask a local station and they'll show you the DTV contour map. Ask Charlie and they don't exist. Does that mean DirecTv...

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Good point, he technically isn't. It's just his equipment. The main point was we'll never know what happened, just that it did.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Everyone can speculate as to which side blinked first. Truth is, we'll never know. Fisher could have blinked because of the AAD Distants possibility. Charlie could have blinked because he knew giving distants to customers on retrans disputes is illegal. Maybe Charlie is starting to realize...

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    True.. all we can do is speculate since we werent' privvy to the details. They could have come to an agreement without "blinking". We'll never know.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Fisher just announced an agreement with Comcast today. If Comcast can agree to terms, there's no reason why Dish can't.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Add to that the court injunction, which I believe prohibited Dish from even offering significantly viewed and you can see where Dish is really without a paddle in offering a replacement channel. Come to think of it, even if they didn't have the injunction over then, they couldn't Just because...

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    Nope... that would be illegal. Dish wouldn't do anything illegal like that <tongue firmly planted in cheek>

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    I don't think so. That's SOP to give people all options. Other broadcasters have done the same. I remember not so long ago a retrans issue with a cable system where the TV station pushed viewers to both E* and D* with 50 dollar coupons.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    That's a pretty blind statement to just assume that Young caved into Dish. None of us know what the outcome of that was, just as we don't know what the sticking points are with Fisher Communications. We all know Dish wants retrans for no money and the TV Groups aren't having any of it. It's...

    Shakeup At Dish Headquarters??

    That sure smells like the old "resigning to spend more time with family" or "moving on to other endeavours" excuse... usually means he was politely asked to move along.

    Bad News For Dish

    Charlie's other crutch is piracy. Most people who pirate satellite tv are not going to subscribe to it if they lock down the system. Let's lay down the crutch Charlie and admit you've lost control of the company. Take your billions and hire a new Chairman and new CEO's to run the companies...

    Who Do we need to Contact to get MLBEI Back on Dish

    Congressional time was already wasted on this issue. It's a competitive issue. I was one of the ones who wanted EI on Dish... when Charlie wouldn't pony up I used my dollars to speak. I dropped my Dish sub down and went with DirecTv. The DTV hardware isn't the top of the heap but it does...

    Dish Network Retailer Chat Recap - September 5th, 2008

    That's just a ridiculous charge... a simple example of nickel and diming. If you order it by phone automated, on the web, or from your receiver there should be no surcharge.

    NHL Network/CI package

    As mentioned, NHL Network is part of the CI package. The only issue may be if you drop the package down now, you probably won't have NHL Net until the new CI package takes effect. Then you should have it until the next package comes due.
