For the second season running Dish has dropped the ball on aquiring CSN-HD leaving Bay Area customers out in the cold when it comes to Sharks home games. Does DirecTV carry CSN-HD Bay Area cause I'm quite tempted to switch if they do. All Dish customer service was able to give me was a lame, half-assed apology with no excuse to justify why in Silicon Valley, one of the central hub's of technological development in the world as well as one of the largest sports markets can't seem to get local hockey home games in HD!?!

This is just the tip of the iceburg, with Dish's delay of adding channels like BBC-HD, the whole VOOM debacle, and force-feeding crap like GREEN, Smithsonian, and National Geographic when there's already Discovery and History channels available!

I know it's a pipe dream but I won't be happy until a'la cart programming happens, and probably not in my lifetime.

I just got off the phone after reaming out the CS idiot who told me the only reason I don't get CSNBA-HD is because I don't live in an available zip code to qualify for it!!!!! WTF!!!! My father lives 6 miles form my house and he can get it, BUT NOT ME!! I literally live 3 miles from Shark's Stadium, HP Pavillion downtown San Jose! Someones ass is mine tomorrow!

My package pre-dates the Turbo HD package and the customer service rep said that my package should have the RSN HD but my zip code disqualifies me from getting it. If I lived 5 miles east or west of where I currently live I could get it, they said! That's why I'm pissed!

"the customer service rep said that my package should have the RSN HD but my zip code disqualifies me from getting it."

That's simply not true and don't believe everything a CSR tells you. Last night's game was a home game and I was watching it because my package includes my RSN CSNBA, yours doesn't. It's that simple. Change your package or just go with another provider.

BTW, I'm not saying that I agree with Dish Network I'm just stating the facts.

The bottom line is that the HD Only Package never included your local RSN (both SD and HD). You can debate as to whether this is fair or not but that's the way it's always been. If you want your local RSN change packages.

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....

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

Tell Alexa verbally what to do.

What is the purpose of connecting Alexa and the H3?
I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.

The Resurrectionists can help you with that.

For a price.

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link

I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.
