Want mlb midwest games in Ca.

I am a Dish Network Subscriber and as I live in SF am offered the baseball package for the West Coast; Oakland and SF which I'm clearly not interested in.

I want to know if I can either swap that for say Midwest package or pay an additional fee to receive those games as Iam, a die hard Cardinal fan and wish to see my Redbirds as much as possible.

new info re: mlb from other regions

I inquired yesterday ---3/27 --- about swapping my local sports channels (Sf area) for Midwest games and have since discovered that while that is not possible, I could, and did, add on for $5.99 monthly, a package that brings me sports from every region throughout the U.S.

However on my mind, as it must be on that of all Dish Subscribers baseball fans is when they will finally come to terms with the MLB Channel and make it available.

Make yourself heard by letting Dish know that you want that channel available....heck; they've got the NFL, NBA, and NHL channels so why not the MLB Channel?

Per MLB, any provider who carries the MLB channel MUST also offer their Extra Innings package. Since Dish does not have Extra Innings, then they cannot carry the MLB channel, even if they wanted to.

FYI, you have the above backwards. In order to get the new MLB Channel carried on as many systems as possible at startup, MLB mandated that anyone who wants MLB EI had to agree to carry the MLB Channel as well.

Charlie could carry the MLB Channel if he wished, he has just chosen not to so far.

I see you're a college hockey fan. Did you catch that late goal in the BU /UNH game on Sat? Jeez.
And then the mysterious "puck through the net OT goal.

Nope. You can go back and read the press release and there are several threads on this site as well that confirm what I said to be true. In order for any provider to carry MLBNet, they must also carry Extra Innings. No Extra Innings means no MLBNet. The only way Dish can carry MLBNet if they choose, is to also offer EI.

"The network has signed contracts with 36 cable and satellite carriers. In a deal that may be copied by other sports league owned channels, MLB tied carriage of the MLB Network to the ability to carry the popular out of market [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLB_Extra_Innings"]MLB Extra Innings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:MLB_Extra_Innings.svg" class="image"><img alt="MLB Extra Innings.svg" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/07/MLB_Extra_Innings.svg/200px-MLB_Extra_Innings.svg.png"@@AMEPARAM@@en/thumb/0/07/MLB_Extra_Innings.svg/200px-MLB_Extra_Innings.svg.png[/ame] package."

And: "Some folks dont seem to get it that in order for Dish to have MLB Network they need to have MLB Extra Innings.

If you want MLB Network, you need DirecTV or Cable (my local COX just added MLB Network over the past week.) " - Scott

Whose rules?

This is the quote from the "forum rules" that deals with content:

"By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws."

There is no reference to political content. Have the rules changed or are they just made up as we go along? I am happy to abide by the forum rules but I resent my post being deleted when it is clearly within forum rules.

There are political forums at your disposal. You are most welcome to use them. Political commentary is deemed inappropriate by the mods.
That's all you need to know.
And didn't anyone tell you it's fruitless to argue with the umpires?

Brutal review of Netflix's series Below

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop! 😂

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Paramount+

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Where is it going to come from -- specifically?

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....
