Ok...I know Dish for TV; DirectTV for sports.
I subscribe to the Multi-Sports package. According to both Dish & MLB, I live in an area authorized as "home" by Dodgers, Angels, Athletics, Giants, Diamondbacks and Padres.
I was able to watch the Dodgers game this am. However, this afternoon I was hit with a black-out of the Giants/Astros opener. I understand the ESPN2 blackout. But that is why I pay extra for Multi-sports...to get the Giants on CSNBA.
The CSR (and her supervisor) both agree I (and other Las Vegas subscribers) should be getting the CSNBA feed. But they had no explanation why. Well, they did offer one explanation....that "sometimes it might not be available"...but offered no explanation as to why those sometimes occur.
They could not do anything about this they said...they had no control over blackouts...
I am not an MLBEI type...I just enjoy an occasional baseball game. But if Dish can't even offer a logical explanation then perhaps D-TV is my better option. I'll give them another shot...first day and they might have had some switches not correct. But if it's not rectified by weeks end....

So, if what you say is true (not questioning you...just a statement), then Dish basically is false advertising. When you order, it tells you what you can receive. It listed both CSN stations. The CSR and her supervisor both confirmed the Dish computer says the same thing. Further, MLB states I should be authorized as Vegas is the "home" territory is every West Coast team except the Mariners.
And, yes, you're right. D-TV carries the CSN channels (and they aired the games according to a local friend who checked for me today). So it wasn't a Comcast thing.
Jumping thru channels tonight, I saw I was able to receive (a bad SD picture) the Diamondbacks opener. So, I was able to get one RSN in the package I for which I am paying.
I wrote (for whatever it's worth) to the CEO asking for a logical explanation. I doubt I'll get one.
But if they are going to take my money and not provide what they say they will then perhaps a cancellation is in order.

Dish did the same thing in MN. In the SE and NE part of the state it is claimed by both the Twins and Brewers. On Dish you ONLY get the Twins. Directv you get both in those markets
What are they advertising? According to the Dish locals/RSN site you get FSN West & Prime as your local RSN. If you add the multi-sports package there is no guarantee what extra games you will get with Dish. It all depends on how much money dish spent to carry those channels.So, if what you say is true (not questioning you...just a statement), then Dish basically is false advertising.

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....

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Oooo, quite the show now. All three vents have doming and overflows. The cone that built up around the North vent lost its upper quarter at 02:50 Oct 17 and is now spewing lava at a healthy rate. Don't know if I would say it's a fountain, but it's close.
edit: The USGS has called the official start of Episode 55 as starting at 03:19 HST Oct 17, 2026:
Alert Level: WATCH, Color Code: ORANGE 2026-10-17 13:43:56 UTC
HVO/USGS Volcanic Activity Notice
Volcano: Kilauea (VNUM #332010)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Issued: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 3:43 AM HST
Source: Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
Notice Number: 2026/H488
Location: N 19 deg 25 min W 155 deg 17 min
Elevation: 4091 ft (1247 m)
Area: Hawaii
Summary: Episode 55 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began at 3:19 AM HST on October 17, 2026.
Volcanic Activity:
Episode 55 of lava fountaining in Halemaʻumaʻu began at the summit of Kīlauea began at 3:19 AM HST on October 17, 2026.
Fountain heights are relatively low at about 100-150 feet (30-45 m), and it is not clear whether this episode will evolve to the same heights as previous episodes. Continuous overflows from the vents began yesterday, October 16, just before 6 a.m. HST and transitioned into episode 55 fountains at 3:19 a.m. HST this morning. The current forecast is for winds are blowing from the north-northeast direction, which suggests that volcanic gas emissions and volcanic material may be distributed to the south-southwest direction from Halemaʻumaʻu.

- All eruptive vents and lava flows are confined to Halemaʻumaʻu crater within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Tephra fall from volcanic ash clouds is greatest within 3 miles (5 km) of the vents, lighter ash and Pele's Hair may stay suspended for large distances from the vents.
Kīlauea seems to be returning to the "normal" eruption script, impressive fountaining from the North Vent. For once, the V2 Cam has the best overall shot:
The lava flows have covered a good portion of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.
