    A 25 year personal history rant

    I can see the writing on the wall. Direct TV will be making an appearance at my house for the minimum programing I can purchase. With a 57 inch HDTV sitting in the living room I just can't bring myself to watch in the computer room on a 17 incher. Not to mention the wife acceptance factor of...

    I get local Network Affliates (CBS,ABC,NBC,FOX) from DISH. NONE are in HD because the stations have not gone digital. This is Wyoming with 500,000 people in the whole state. Direct does not have locals in my area, and I lost any grandfathering I had, (and it was a good one) when I gave up...

    Big Dish is gone, and I am hooked up to DISH with a 811 for HDTV. Works just fine, but I keep reading that the MLB Extra Innings package will only be available on Direct. No HD nets to protect the local stations. No NESN (all I want to watch is the Red Sox) to protect who knows , I guess the...

    It is not the money, but I should make it clear, that was my hardware cost not programing. My package presently is about $110.00 a month without the MLB csot of $150.00. It is the hassle of different dishes, different providers, and a pain in the neck system of who gets to broadcast what...

    Baseball

    So getting NESN will not get me the REDSOX in Wyoming. If so then what is the point of getting NESN??? Will the MLB package do it on Direct TV??

    Baseball

    Just about figured that for my viewing habits I need three systems. Voom for HD, C-Band for networks (which I presently have), and either Direct or Dish for most of the others. My question is which is better for BASEBALL, and how do I know if I will be blacked out. I want NESN for the...

    Starting from scratch almost (long)

    I am looking for advice. In two weeks a 57 inch hd RPTV will be arriving at my house. At present I have a c-band dish on which I receive all 4 networks in two time zones. I was grandfathered in and can receive them all untill the law changes or c-band no longer deals with private customers...
