Blackout question - NESN in western CT

With my current address in Newtown CT (ZIP 06470), I was able to see multiple Red Sox ST games and Bruins games on NESN over the past month. But I was very surprised to see the NESN HD feed of the Sox - Mets game blacked out tonight (SD feed was in the clear), and even more surprised to see the first few regular season games blacked out for both HD and SD NESN. (All future Bruins games still in the clear.)

I had not had any blackout issues here in the past, so I am a bit confused. Is anyone else in western CT having issues with Red Sox blackouts on NESN? Or did Dish and NESN decide to change what areas qualify to see the Sox? Thanks for any feedback on this.

Nesn is CT

I live in Torington which is in Litchfield county. I am watching the Red Sox right now in HD on NESN Channel 434. I have a similar problem with the NY Rangers blackouts. I called Dish and Emailed MSG. Dish says I am out of the DMA but Cablevision (owned my MSG who own the Rangers said it was up to Dish. Dish said NESN HD is the Sports Channel I can receive and that MSG Channel 412 was part of the Sports Package so it was subject to blackouts per MSG. I also have Center Ice but none of the Ranger games are broadcast from MSG in HD on Center Ice. I explained that MSG said they had no problem with my receiving their programming Dish said there was nothing they could do as this was a DMA issue. I am almost positive Direct TV has MSG in HD and the games are not blacked out at least they were not 2 years ago when I has Direct Tv.

Since my phone and internet are with Cablevision I went for their $89 special so I can get the Ranger games in HD. However lately they are showing Knicks on MSG and the Rangers on their "guide" channel in SD! Just can win. Plus their DVR is crap.

I can not understand why Dish and Direct have different DMA areas. You can "move" but you will lose NY locals>

DirecTV has a page where you can enter a ZIP and see exactly what sports you will get:

The 06790 ZIP Code (Torrington) is in the home team territory for the following pro teams. With HD Access select channels and teams available in HD are noted below:

With any DIRECTV base package (CHOICE or above, or FAMILIAR or above):

New England Sports Network (Ch. 628) - HD Available
s.gif
Boston Bruins (HD Available)
s.gif
Red Sox (HD Available)
CSN New England (Ch. 630) - HD Available
s.gif
Boston Celtics (HD Available)
Yankee Ent. & Sports (YES) (Ch. 631) - HD Available
s.gif
New Jersey Nets (HD Available)
s.gif
Yankees (HD Available)
SportsNet New York (Ch. 639) - HD Available
s.gif
Mets (HD Available)

Looks like the Rangers and Knicks are not available to you with DirecTV either. I guess cable goes by different rules. :(

Hey, rest assured that Dish is not blacking out the red sox on NESN in monroe. I am using a monroe zip code and I get the sox on NESN every night. This could change at any time but it's been like this for several years. The problem discussed earlier in this thread was a major mistake dish made right at the beginning of the season which caused almost everyone in CT to be blacked out. That mistake has since been corrected and everything is back to "normal".

Technically, Monroe and Newtown *should* be blacked out since they are in Fairfield County. But apparently Dish blacks out sports by ZIP, and a few 064xx ZIP codes in far eastern Fairfield County sneak into Red Sox territory. I'm curious if 066xx Bridgeport ZIPs are blacked out or not, but nobody on here has given an update on that area yet.

The only way to "fix" the problem would be to let the Red Sox claim Fairfield County as stated in the petition noted above. Unfortunately there are few examples where one team claims the home DMA of another team (Baltimore / D.C., Texas / Houston, S.F. / Oakland) - and these are all for teams in different leagues. Fairfield County should be part of Sox territory, but since it is part of the NYC DMA I doubt the Yankees and MLB would ever let the Sox do this.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
