How many games will your NFL team win this season?

With the NFL season fast approaching, I was wondering how many wins you guys see your team winning this year.

As a Bills fan, I'm looking at their schedule and it looks absolutely brutal.

6 games with the Pats, Jets, and Dolphins- since Buffalo is the only team in that division with a capable passing attack, I think they'll be lucky to win a game, let alone 2, against our divisional rivals.

Playing the NFC North- Packers, Bears, and Vikings seem like automatic losses. Honestly, I think the Lions could be favored against Buffalo- they have an actual quarterback and a very good WR!

Ravens, Steelers, Bengals- all have better passing games and defenses.

Browns- they're making strides- plus, they have OWNED the Bills recently.

Kansas City- they made major upgrades on offense. Bills- not so much.

Jacksonville- maybe the Bills can win this one, for they also have a weak passing game.

All in all, I see about 2, 3, maybe 4 wins for the Bills. Brutal schedule, with Jacksonville, Cleveland, Kansas City, and Detroit as the only possible winnable opponents, plus a laughably bad passing game could equal a long season.

I hope the Bills do better than that, but like I said, that schedule does them no favors.

Here are my predictions for the upcoming NFL season. I'll be giving each team's strength, weakness, and predicted record.

AFC East
1. NY Jets
Strength- Ground and pound. Running and defense.
Weakness- Tough schedule and whether Sanchez can become a big-time, big-game, big-play quarterback.
Prediction- 12-4

2. New England
Strength- passing. Brady, Moss, Welker- nuff said.
Weakness- a pass defense that looked leaky at times (see the New Orleans and Indy games) and lacking a clear-cut #1 RB that they haven't had since Corey Dillion.
Prediction- 10-6

3. Miami
Strength- Playmakers on offense- Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Brandon Marshall.
Weakness- Defense- can they get big stops? Is Karlos Dansby the right guy?
Prediction- 9-7

4. Buffalo
Strength- A surplus of running backs.
Weakness- Everything else. Weak-armed wimp passers, no wideouts besides Lee Evans, a godawful run defense.
Prediction- 1-15

AFC North

1. Baltimore
Strength- A quality QB in Flacco, a stud RB in Ray Rice.
Weakness- Tough schedule and whether their defensive stars might be aging
Prediction- 11-5

2. Cincinnati
Strength- Cedric Benson proved himself in Cincy stripes, and their defense surprised a lot of people
Weakness- The passing game, which was a crutch last year. Will TO make things better?
Prediction- 10-6

3. Pittsburgh
Strength- Offensive playmakers in Mendenhall and Mike Wallace
Weakness- The QB conundrum, as well as a defense that melted down in crunch time.
Prediction- 9-7

4. Cleveland
Strength- Josh Cribbs is a playmaker that can make magic
Weakness- Who is going to be the QB? Delhomme, Wallace, Colt McCoy?
Prediction- 7-9

AFC South

1. Indianapolis
Strength- Peyton Manning, leader of a still-elite pass attack
Weakness- Running game. Can Addai and Donald Brown move the chains?
Prediction- 11-5

2. Houston
Strength- Passing game. Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson are a lethal duo
Weakness- An inconsistent rushing attack and a tough schedule
Prediction- 10-6

3. Tennessee
Strength- Chris Johnson is a beast of a back, and Vince Young is a winner
Weakness- Aside from Johnson, who will catch Young's passes?
Prediction- 9-7

4. Jacksonville
Strength- Maurice Jones-Drew, one of the NFL's best backs.
Weakness- An unreliable passing game.
Prediction- 6-10

AFC West

1. San Diego
Strength- Philip Rivers is a stud passer, and the Bolts have mucho talent
Weakness- Running game, as well as a lack of killer instinct in January
Prediction- 12-4

2. Kansas City
Strength- JaMaal Charles is a hell of a running back
Weakness- Can Matt Cassel prove to be the right man at QB in KC?
Prediction- 9-7

3. Oakland
Strength- The talented cornerback with a hard-to-pronounce name, and a QB upgrade in Jason Campbell
Weakness- Wide Recievers. Now that JaMarcus Russell is gone, can they produce?
Prediction- 8-8

4. Denver
Strength- They can run the ball and they have nice guys with great attitudes.
Weakness- A QB conundrum and no offensive playmakers. Without Cutler and Marshall, they'll have trouble scoring
Prediction- 5-11

NFC East

1. Dallas
Strength- Talent across the board- QB, RB, WR, Linebacker
Weakness- Can they win big games in January? Last year, they took a step in the right direction. Can they take another?
Prediction- 12-4

2. Washington
Strength- McNabb and Mike Shanahan give them a sense of stability
Weakness- A lack of playmakers. Who will catch McNabb's throws?
Prediction- 9-7

3. NY Giants
Strength- Eli Manning and Bradshaw/Jacobs lead a good attack that won a Super Bowl. They still know how to win.
Weakness- The defense collapsed last year. Also, with the exception of Dallas (and possibly Atlanta), they beat the creampuffs, but faltered against the big boy teams. They beat the big boys in 2007 and 2008- they must go back to that.
Prediction- 9-7

4. Philadelphia
Strength- A dynamic playmaker duo in DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin.
Weakness- An unproven QB at Kolb. Can he find the chemistry with his offense that McNabb had?
Prediction- 8-8

NFC North

1. Green Bay
Strength- A lethal passing attack led by Aaron Rodgers
Weakness- One of the NFL's tougher schedules (AFC and NFC East)
Prediction- 12-4

2. Minnesota
Strength- Talent at most of their positions
Weakness- QB. If Favre doesn't come back, can the Vikes go deep with Tavaris Jackson/Sage Rosenfels?
Prediction- 11-5 if Favre comes back, 10-6 if he doesn't

3. Chicago
Strength- Their defense is still decent- they will improve if Urlacher's healthy
Weakness- Cutler has to do a better job avoiding turnovers
Prediction- 8-8

4. Detroit
Strength- They have some talent in Stafford, Calvin Johnson, and the newcomer on defense- Suh- will help them
Weakness- They have a culture of losing that's lasted for long time that they must overcome.
Prediction- 6-10

NFC South

1. New Orleans
Strength- Awesome firepower, Drew Brees is a superstar, and an opportunistic defense
Weakness- Can they repeat? The last five Super Bowl champs have failed to even make their conference title game
Prediction- 11-5

2. Atlanta
Strength- Matt Ryan and Michael Turner make for a great duo
Weakness- A defense that must improve.
Prediction- 10-6

3. Carolina
Strength- A great RB duo in Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams
Weakness- Who will be the starting QB- Moore or Clausen?
Prediction- 9-7

4. Tampa Bay
Strength- Josh Freeman made some strides last year, and Kellen Winslow was a nice offensive playmaker
Weakness- Their defense have a lot of work to do
Prediction- 5-11

NFC West

1. San Francisco
Strength- Running game and defense- a recipe that usually works.
Weakness- Can they take the next steps and win big games?
Prediction- 10-6

2. Arizona
Strength- Larry Fitzgerald leads a still-good WR Corps
Weakness- Talent losses galore- Warner, Boldin, Dansby, Rolle
Prediction- 8-8

3. Seattle
Strength- A new coach that gives them a new start
Weakness- Inconsistency on both sides of the ball
Prediction- 6-10

4. St. Louis
Strength- Sam Bradford gives them QB hope, and Steven Jackson is a stud of a back
Weakness- Everything else. No playmakers at WR, as well as a porous defense
Prediction- 3-13

Playoff Teams
AFC- Chargers, Jets, Colts, Ravens, Texans, Bengals
NFC- Cowboys, Packers, Saints, 49ers, Vikings, Falcons

AFC Title Game- Ravens over Jets
NFC Title Game- Saints over Packers

Super Bowl- Ravens over Saints

Farve's back

12-4 for the Vikes for sure.....maybe 13-3 to win the division

Farve's back

12-4 for the Vikes for sure.....maybe 13-3 to win the division

It WON'T take 13 wins to win the division.

Favre is due. His final year he'll break his starting streak and the Vikings flounder. If the Packers can improve their defense during preseason it's their division to lose, and it'll take 11 wins to get a wildcard in the NFC.

It WON'T take 13 wins to win the division.

I didnt mean it that way

They'll be the division winner with a 13-3 record
home field throughout the playoffs :)

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....

Hello everyone.

I am new here and I done a search on MLB Extra Innings and DISH and it led me to this forum and so I signed up and hopefully someone can help me out with some issues.

First off, I am a DISH Outdoors customer and I signed up for service back in late October of 2025. I have a Wally HD Receiver and I am using the DISH Playmaker OS 2.1 as my Antenna that operates on 110 and 119 Western Arc and Alternative 61.5, 110, and 119 satellites. I signed up for MLB Extra Innings back in March before the season began. I was excited to be able to watch MLB Extra Innings because I love baseball and I use to have MLB Extra Innings on Satellite DIRECTV back in 2001-2004 and on Satellite DISH back in 2016 and 2017.

I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it is actually MLB.TV Simulcasted to DISH Satellite (More on that later) Anyways I have been watching faithfully almost every night however about a week ago there was a problem. When I went to go to the game to watch a game the game wouldn't come in an I would send a refresh signal to my receiver and then I could watch the programming and when I went to switch games at that games appointed time slot my Wally HD Receiver who lockup where I couldn't change any channels or view the guide and it would reboot. The next night when I turned to a game at game start it still had the background it shows before the game started and again send a refresh signal and went though this same thing over and over. I added a movie channel to my lineup and had issues with showing up my Dish Wally HD Receiver.

With an investigation after several calls with DISH Support it was determined that by going to the diagnostics screen that I had a issue with my Tuner because any changes that I made to my programming these changes would not take affect on the Wally HD Receiver. In other words that Wally HD Receiver was toast!

I too had reported MLB Extra Innings issue to DISH and they created a ticket for it and said that someone would investigate the issue. I too took notice that under MyDISH account under MLB Extra Innings always before it would show that I was subscribed and on auto-renew. Now it shows nothing and even after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so that I can see it in guest mode it too doesn't even list a price and option for purchase as does the now WNBA League Pass.

After my DISH Receiver was ruined I had to buy a new Wally HD Receiver. I took advantage an bought 2 HD Wally's and added them both to my account. I called back to remove the old box off of the account and was told it was linked to MLB Extra Innings and the advanced technical support team said there was a glitch with MLB Extra Innings and hope to have a resolution in a couple of days and I could call back in to then to remove the box. But both the 2 new Wally HD Receivers are activated on my account. I asked them what the problem was with MLB Extra Innings and how long it would be and I was told there was a glitch as I asked to specify what they meant and got no answer. I again went and checked the MyDISH account page under the MLB Extra Innings page and it still doesn't list me as subscribed and after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so I could it see it as a guest mode and it still doesn't list the price and option for purchase as it does for the WNBA League Pass.

I am afraid to boot up these boxes and go through the activation screen process because of the issues with the MLB Extra Innings in fear it will do the same or mess up my boxes from being able to receive MLB Extra Inning because or any other programing because I was told that MLB Extra Innings wouldn't come in on those new box because it was activated with the Wally that is ruined and it needs removed first.

Now I have no DISH service going on a week and miss my MLB Extra Innings when the races are just heating up and now with two boxes activated I can't boot up because I am afraid it will mess them up and I will be out the $180.00 or so dollars I made in purchase on the receivers.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with their MLB Extra Innings and does anyone really know what this so called glitch actually is? I can't seem to get a clear answer from anybody and don't even know if it will even be fixed or anyone really understands it.

Now to my previous statement on how I was disappointed that MLB Extra Innings is actually MLB.TV in simulcast. When I had MLB Extra Innings before with DIRECTV in 2001-2004 and with DISH form 2016 and 2017. They would always show the commercials for every teams broadcast from their local market and all games would be authentic just as if you were watching in their home market. After I quit DISH I went to streaming for awhile and I done MLB.TV and I hated their features because of the no commercials, the delayed times of getting back after the commercial break, and not being able to listen to what studios had to say when they would cut into the studios, and always looking at the screen during commercial breaks with a screen that says commercial break in progress and a silhouette background of MLB Players doing baseball things and the their crazy commercial breaks sound. I was excited to go back to DISH thinking I escaped the horrors of MLB.TV. Well its actually the same thing. I compared them side by side and actually MLB.TV is ahead by just a few seconds. So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.

Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.

I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.

Sincerely,

RJ T.

I have an update....

I just called back to DISH Customer Service this morning. They were very helpful. They said there would be no problem removing my damaged Wally HD Receiver off the account and they did an it is no longer there.

They told me to go ahead an setup the boxes which I am doing right now but they confirmed their is a problem with MLB Extra Innings. They totally removed the MLB Extra Innings channels off of DISH and they are not accessible at this time. It is also not available for purchase at this time. They are working to fix the problem and at this time no refunds are being issued. I am to continue to checking back once in awhile to see if there are any further updates.

Hope this can be of some assistance to some people with MLB Extra Innings.

I am not sure if they will ever get back or offer MLB Extra Innings again and if they will issue refunds if it closes out. They say PPV Sports are final and no refunds issued once the season begins so I would assume to believe this would apply to acts of God as well.

If nothing else I will just have to eat the $150.00 and wait on hockey in September.

I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110. Maybe since there are no other sports going on, have they temporarily cut back on the out of market sports packages? I am not sure. It looks like those channels are all coming from 119 TP 13, 110 TP 12, and 110 TP 09.

Also, Dish's Scheduled Satellite Maintenance page doesn't have anything going on:

Another update....

A few moments ago I was going though my channels. and saw that MLB Extra Innings channel 476-01 Baltimore Orioles was back. Checked the status and its on Satellite 119 and Transponder 13. It was on Satellite 110 before. Maybe this is the issue! With the new launch of the 110 Satellite and them moving things around this could be the reason MLB Extra Innings is off the air right now! However, it shouldn't of fried my Wally when this all happened. DISH owes me! LOL! But I will never see it.

It's great to know I am getting somewhere and that this could be the cause of the so called "Glitch" I would say its a pretty darn big "Glitch" a move to a different satellite and transponder!

And now I wait patiently....

Trying to get use to this forum and where everything is located at. I saw you responded from my post on the changes and took me a while to get back to see this post. But yes, it is exactly what I was thinking. I too noticed the change of MLB Extra Innings from 110 to 119. Because of 30 teams they have to algin everything. Only other sport going on PPV wise is WNBA League Pass and I do not have a subscription to that but maybe some else who has it can confirm what they done and what satellite and transponders they are on.

This is a big shift for DISH. I just hope if Charlie Ergen does ever sell out to anyone that I can continue to use my DISH Playmaker and I can keep my Wally's. If its anything like what happened to DIRECTV a few years back which turned out to be a total disaster when AT&T acquired DIRECTV nothing there changed with boxes or anything and you continued to use the same service but I was very surprised to see AT&T sell it to TPG especially after they had just bought it now long ago.

Now to my previous statement on how I was disappointed that MLB Extra Innings is actually MLB.TV in simulcast. When I had MLB Extra Innings before with DIRECTV in 2001-2004 and with DISH form 2016 and 2017. They would always show the commercials for every teams broadcast from their local market and all games would be authentic just as if you were watching in their home market. After I quit DISH I went to streaming for awhile and I done MLB.TV and I hated their features because of the no commercials, the delayed times of getting back after the commercial break, and not being able to listen to what studios had to say when they would cut into the studios, and always looking at the screen during commercial breaks with a screen that says commercial break in progress and a silhouette background of MLB Players doing baseball things and the their crazy commercial breaks sound. I was excited to go back to DISH thinking I escaped the horrors of MLB.TV. Well its actually the same thing. I compared them side by side and actually MLB.TV is ahead by just a few seconds. So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.

Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.

I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.

Sincerely,

Update on MLB Extra Innings as of 5:50 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026...

I am getting tired of not being able to watch any baseball games and having paid for MLB Extra Innings and not knowing what the reason is I called dish back at 1-800-333-3474. I guess after all of my calls my call was routed to the Advanced Technical Support Team. I had something happen that I never knew they could do and they gained access into my Wally Receiver. I was told settings look good and right now on the only channel that shows is the MLB1 Baltimore Orioles Channel. They are playing the at home against the Seattle Mariners right now. She was able to access to that channel which prompted a purchase a Rent option. That signaled a red flag to her right away. She escalated a ticket with photographs and info from my screen to the top tier advanced programing technical department and told me they received the ticket and are reviewing it now. They got back to her and said they would have information within 30 minutes. I either get the channels within 30 minutes or I am to call back and they will advance from there. Seems like maybe my persistence is paying off. I will keep you informed. Maybe we can all have a resolution to this shortly.

I was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:

https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html

Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)

One added, one removed. But I think it's really only a name change, with similar (or identical?) programming.

New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.

Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.

It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.

This new station is owned by Digital Network and what kind of programmings is unkown at this time.😎

EchoStar has filed with FCC for license and launch of the EchoStar 25 satellite at the nominal 110W slot.

------"At the nominal 110° W.L. orbital location, EchoStar is licensed to operate over 29 of the available 32 DBS channels (specifically channels 1-27, 29,and 31).3 Currently, EchoStar provides service over these channels from the 110° W.L. cluster utilizing the EchoStar 10, EchoStar 11 (in inclined orbit), and EchoStar 23 satellites; and from the 119° W.L. cluster utilizing the EchoStar 14 and EchoStar 15 satellites. EchoStar anticipates that EchoStar 25 will be ready for launch as early as the first quarter of 2026. EchoStar anticipates that EchoStar 25, a spot-beam satellite, will take over delivery of certain programming services from EchoStar 10 and 14. After launch and in-orbit testing ("IOT"),4EchoStar 25 will proceed directly to 110.0° ± 0.05° W.L. Once EchoStar 25 is placed into operation, EchoStar 10 will initially remain at 110.2° W.L. serving as an in-orbit spare and may ultimately be relocated subject to all appropriate Commission authorizations. EchoStar 14 will remain at the nominal 119° W.L. orbital location and serve as an in-orbit spare once EchoStar 25 begins service." -----

I can tell the new satellite is active... When I go to the point dish menu, here in Chicago, 110 TP 27, which is a Spotbeam, for me with the old satellite was in the signal strength 50's-60's, is now just fluttering between 16-18.

Actually, I can't seem to add the locals back to my account to check right now - when I go to add it and I submit the changes, it shows that I have added 1802 local channels (the whole country) and nothing happens. Something must be wrong with their website. :)

I just happened to find out that I won White Sox tickets for tomorrow nights game June 10th. Yahoo! I just picked up my tickets around 8 P.M. local time and it is kind of late planning I know but I am leaving here in just a few and heading up to Peotone to stay the night tonight in a hotel and be there for tomorrow night as well. Its 9:21 P.M. Central Time now. I am hoping to beat the possible thunderstorms and fog early this morning up there and the weather there tomorrow as well. I oh so hope they play and no severe weather! Anyways, I just unhooked my Wally receiver and my DISH Playmaker and I am taking it with me. Peotone is in the Chicago Locals market and with me having a DISH Outdoors account I can change it when I get up there. I will have a check when I get there and I can post and let you know. I can put the antenna on top of the roof of the vehicle and run a 12 ft. coaxial cable running through the trunk into the vehicle. I have a DC to AC converter in the vehicle and can bring my Cloner Alliance ViewPRO to use as a the screen. I may even watch a little TV throughout the evening as well and maybe a little WGN as well. I miss WGN. I use to watch the Cubs, White Sox, and Bulls games on WGN and listen to the news and Tom Skilling a bunch. I hated it in December of 2014 when it became a standard cable network only. This will be only my 2nd time since they became a standard cable network and now defunct and rebranded as NewsNation that I actually get to see WGN again. The only other time was in 2016 up in Chicago as well and they were a standard cable network here then and not available locally. I now need to get going. I will let you know later.

Now done!

Wow! About an hour's worth!

So it appears they changed as well to the 110 Satellite and using 2 Spotbeams 12 & 26.

Got to head up to my room and get some sleep. I will be here until late afternoon tomorrow before I head up to the game and will be back here after the game tommorow night and head back home Thursday morning.

Take care everyone and have a good night and a good Wednesday and Thursday. Probably won't be back on until Thursday.

This is really interesting. Thanks for posting the Chicago locals - I still can't add them to my account for some reason.

But what I find even more interesting is that you are reporting that some of the Chicago locals are on 110, TP 12. However, right now some of the national sports channels for the out of market sports channels are on 110, TP 12 as well. MLB Network Alternate, for example, is currently on 110, TP 12. And to my knowledge, the same transponder cannot be both a national ConUS transponder as well as a local spotbeam. I wonder if having both satellites active at the same time is causing some coding issue or something like that - for my receiver, it is as if it is checking one satellite, times out, then checks the second satellite for the signal strength.

No Problem! Glad I went and could help out but however I chickened out from the game tonight and I am back home. Didn't like the weather report I was seeing. Everyone in the hotel was talking about the severe storms. 75+ mph winds, golf ball size hail, and tornadoes done it in for me. You stay safe! I guess it isn't going to be very good and its suppose to hit between 3 and 6 PM. I gave away my tickets as I don't need damage to the vehicle plus with the weather like that not going and driving in Chicago that often it probably wouldn't be good driving when it is storming. I do think I made the wise choice.

I however am thinking about going somewhere over the weekend because this hot and humid air that were having will bring in relief after the cold front Thursday night and good weather is expected through the weekend. I don't know where I will head I am thinking State Park wise somewhere camping in a tent and brining my AC battery supply backup that works 36 hours on a single charge and can be charged in the vehicle and bringing the Wally, the antenna, and my Cloner Alliance ViewPro to use as a screen. Just to see what I can all get and to get away awhile. Where ever I go It will be out of market so I could get you their locals and Satellites and Spotbeams if you would like.

Just hoping we avoid the severe weather at my location tomorrow. It doesn't look good on that part but once it goes through excellent and more pleasant weather ahead.

And on what you said. Yes that could be an issue getting the locals activated that you are having problems with. 2 Transponders causing trouble one national and one spotbeam. Your receiver may not know how to handle it. Seems as if they likely will move those other sports channels to another satellite and/or spotbeam. More than likely the issue with my MLB Extra Innings as well. All these changes coming at once and they are trying to figure where to put everything and probably don't know where to put it all. I am sure it has the tech advanced people at DISH working overtime. Just wish they would hurry up and get it done.

Do you have an estimated date of completion by any chance?
