I'm a relatively new subscriber, so forgive me if this is common knowledge. But it seems that sometimes we will get the extra games on the various regional FSN networks, and then nights like tonight when all are blacked out.
I live in the Chicago local region. Were the games we were getting on the FSN part of the free baseball preview, or what are the blackout rules? Can anyone provide a link or some insight.
Thanks,

I didn't really think I was getting more than I paid for. Actually I was expecting blackouts. It just turned out that my first week of service was with the EI free preview. It's kind of cool that some of you live in an area where you get two (or more) teams. Getting only Chicago locals is fine with me. I mean the cubs play almost every day, and how much baseball can one man watch? 
Gotta get away from the TV sometimes...
I likely will drop down packages after four months, but I got singed up for the free NFL Ticket by paying 74.95 for the first 4 months, something like that anyway. Plus I like the movie channels. I can download any movies or shows if I really want to drop any chans, tbh directv is more of a convenience than anything else...
I've been pretty happy with the service, and am not pissed off or anything over the baseball. The college sports should be interesting, although I get all the Notre Dame (my team) games so I'm not sweating that too much. I will be cool to get some USC games and such, so I can pray for the demise of my hated rival

Lol, sounds like you have it figured out.I didn't really think I was getting more than I paid for. Actually I was expecting blackouts.

If you drop down, I would recommend the HD/DVR package It includes your HD and your DVR fee.. Thats what I have with starz, and yes the sports package added. Saves me some money on the premiums that I dont want, and gives me the ones that I do. Win win, for me anyway.

Its been no secret that I've never been a big fan of directv offering the RSNs while the most valueable content is being blacked out. For me its always been a 'why bother at all' kind of thing. I mean, I can see the benifit of nitty-gritting little local news if your somehow connected to a given region or are into the college fantasy sports thing or something, but according to my brother...it mostly general programing duplicated across all the RSNs...I mean if thats the case...
I do have to admit, I would love to get at least MY OWN RSN full-time...I'm getting a little tired of watching my screen go back to a test pattern just before "Cubs post-game live" after a big win...but I do agree...how much baseball can one guy watch? (especially being a Cubs fan too...one game is usually enough!
) I would switch to D* in a heartbeat if I could at least just get the other regional (in the MidWest) RSNs full time just to guage the divisional competition...but with EI its all or nothing, too expensive, and I would never have the time to take advantage of all of it. Besides, I'm not sure that Foxsportsnet North (Milwaukee) or Midwest (Cards) are even available as fulltime HD RSNs on D* (verification appreciated:up) They would have to be getting the game feeds from somewhere...

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

My OTA is not working anymore. This started after the latest update. I have the OTA dongle with a OTA antenna that I've been using for years. My hopper does not recognize the dongle anymore and when I go to the OTA setting, it has a screen that says to plug a dongle into the USB. I tried unplugging and plugging back, in the same usb port and other ports. The Hopper does not recognize it. Anyone have same issue?

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.
