OK quick question on the blackouts for MLB Net

I know the rules that if your team is on MLB Net and your local RSN/OTA is carrying it you are blacked out.

But Tuesday the Twins play the BlueJays at 11:30 CDT. Its on MLB Net. FSN North is not doing the game (Rogers Sportsnet is)

So since the only way for me to see the game is MLB Net I shouldnt be blacked out right? (since my local RSN isnt doing the game)

Blue Jays are only blacked out in Canada. They cannot "claim" any part of the US last I checked

I live outside of Rochester NY and watch the Mets on SNY and WPIX on Dish. I would like to switch to Direct for better HD sports but I am unsure if I would still be able to watch the games that are shown on WPIX or am I just stuck with Dish.

Unless a local station in Rochester carries the game you would not be able to see the game. Directv only carries WPIX in the NY market

on the positive side, ALL the games are in HD with Directv...no worrying if it will be in HD ;)

There is no local channel for the Mets here when they are on WPIX. Time Warner here picks up those games and puts them on? Why can't Direct do that too? I guess I'm stuck with Dish unless I just keep Dish for the superstation package. Do you know if Dish would allow it and how much it might cost?

They can't blackout one window on the mix channel. If they want to enforce a blackout on the mix channel they would have to block you from the whole channel.

In general they don't do that, or at least the leagues haven't forced them too. There have been rare occassions where the mix channels were blacked out to some areas, but they mostly leave it open whenever they can.

SNY is the Mets RSN.
If Mets are playing on WPIX then SNY is Blacked out in the NY DMA.
That means all the NY DMA can watch it on Wpix 11, But the Scranton Wilkes Barre DMA is Screwed because D* doesn't have a superstation pack, and We are in the NY RSN DMA. So not Mets for us.

The Yankees we get lucky unless they are on MLB network.
But our Local MY Network 53 Plays Yankee baseball when YES is Blacked out. IN SD ONLY in Piller Box mode.:rant:" Thanks for that one too HD sports leader":(

D* isn't as great as they claim to be with the Blackouts, Even if you subscribe to MLB EI.

I missed a Quite Few Yankees games, Phillies and Mets. The only Teams in MY DMA that I care about.

Fortunately, here in WNY if you sub to TWC, you will get the Yanks (WOR) or the Mets (PIX) on TWCsportsnet, which is channel 13 (analog only), when they aren't on YES or SNY.

That is basically the reason I dropped Dish to get the Buffalo Sabres Games in HD and to be able to actually see the Yanks games.

I have seen dish do it with "ESPN" on their Mix Channel.. Why not directv?

Thats because you don't live in NY RSN DMA,, Living in Scranton Pa local DMA.

I bet I'm not the only case where RSN's Cross into other DMA's that supply different locals.
This is where Cable still has the edge on Satellite.
Our local Cable company has WWOR and WPIX in my Local area. D* Doesn't,

E* does with the Superstation pack.

I checked and it looks like the WPIX games ARE on D*
Next Saturday's game (6/26) against the Twins is on
668 FSN North (for MN folks)
658 RSN Alternate assuming for the Mets market

Sunday's game (Mets/Yankees) is on YES and TBS so D* folks are covered there

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'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
