Live in Oklahoma-have always got the Stars before but now i am getting the black out on Fox SW and ALT channels. The game tonight (vs Red Wings) was shown on NHL Network and on Fox SW and i got blacked out on both. Since the Stars are our local team and no other team claims Oklahoma i am at a loss to explain this. Anyone else in the Stars market experiencing this?

FSN wants to re-write the contract in the middle of the agreement and require carriers to pay more, and this is Charlie's fault? :rolleyes:

I'd love to tell you what you can do with your :rolleyes:, but I like these forums and I want to stay. Instead I'll give you a :p and leave it at that.

Yes, this IS partly Charlie's fault because:

1) There are many more games shown than specified in the contract
2) Charter Cable and DirecTv paid more for more the extra games without much of a hassle
3) I PAY MORE to get Blues games on Fox Sports Midwest. That's really the only reason I want that channel in the winter. DISH has no problem charging me the full rate there.

For the record, I also blame Fox Sports Midwest. The fans get screwed because two ridiculously rich corporations are in a pissing contest over what to them is pocket change. I'd be with DirecTV yesterday if I hadn't signed a 2 year contract on September 28, about 3 weeks before FS Midwest and DISH decided to make public this dispute. I ONLY chose DISH over DirecTV because they had Versus. I've learned my lesson. So I gain 5 Blues games and lose 35. Thanks DISH. I'll NEVER get stuck in a contract with one of these greedy #%$#% providers ever again. They are all thieves.

Personally, I have no problem suggesting what anyone can do with :p or any other face.

If I had known how cheap Charlie is when it comes to sports I would've given him the finger and gone with DirecTV instead.

Well, it hasn't been a secret for at least the last what, five years that Dish's priority isn't toward sports, so if you have been with Dish for over two years then you aren't in a contract and can go anywhere you like. If you new to Dish and are in a contract, then it's no ones fault but your own for not doing your homework about Dish and Sports. Sorry if that was a bit blunt, but :p. ;)

Does anyone have a map of the NHL territories for the various teams? I'm failry certain I would be in stars territory, but wanted to know for sure.

Thanks.

I knew going in DISH isn't great about getting new sports channels and new HD for sports, which I was fine with. But come on, seriously? You're suggesting that I was supposed to predict that DISH and several RSNs would have a contract dispute about how many games they would air, and that one of those RSNs would happen to be the one my hockey team is on? I signed up on September 28, before any of this contract dispute bs was made public by FS Midwest and DISH. There was no way anyone could have seen this coming. I had never heard of this in-season stuff where only certain games would get aired and others would be pulled by the RSN.

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

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.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

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.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

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!!!
