Greg- When I subbed to NFLST, every game I wanted to watch except for 2 were blacked out. I've always been against Blackouts for people who pay to see a game. I accept blackouts on "free" TV but not when you pay, you should never be blacked out. In addition, that was the year DirecTV screwed up and accidentally blacked out Tampa market for me too. It was their error but their response was too bad no refunds on ST. a few years later Dish worked a deal with NFL for Red Zone and when our blackouts happen here I can still pay to watch. Only broadcast TV gets blacked out, not Red Zone. conclusion- DTV NFLST -you lose! Dish Red Zone- You win! Not only that but Watching all the Games on Red Zone, for me is far more efficient than ST ever was. I don't need to watch local TV commercials and other uninteresting activity. Red Zone wins, for me I prefer it that way. I respect others have to watch games no action to feel fulfilled but I don't. That's about as exact as I can put it for you. It adds up for me both in enjoyment of NFL as well as my wallet.

Every game except for two were blacked out? For some reason I am not buying that. Your area claims 30 NFL markets?

Well I was around since the beginning of E were you?

While E has pushed up its $ per sub by elminating cheaper packages, adding fees etc.............

D is growing by offering more options.

and charlie is talking of cheaper packages........

Now come on DK, you're a lot smarter than that! I said every game except for two I wanted to watch were blacked out. Now is that so difficult to accept? It was a bad year for NFL here that year and after that they downsized our stadium to make it less prone to blackouts.

The way I see it, DirecTV doesn't negotiate price increases with their suppliers of programming. They accept rate increases and then pass along rate increases. Their equipment prices are the same but less capable. That is like paying for a Porsche but getting a VW for your money. When Dish obsoleted my 921, they gave me, for free, a 722 as a replacement. While they didn't give me back the $1000 I paid for that 921, at least they gave me an equally performing DVR. When my $1000 TIVO HR10-250 was obsoleted by DirecTV, I called them to find out what my recourse was and the outcome of that was I ended up with a 2 used hard drives and a hunk of metal and canceled my account. And this is my defense of how Dish treats it's valued customers. Contrary to the troll who comes here and tries to make it seem profits by a company is evil.

So, you paid for an out-of-market package to see your local team?

Sounds like there are NO exceptions to the NFL's blackout rules even when someone pays for a special package like Sunday Ticket.
TheForce
Hall- That's how I feel. If you pay to watch, you should not be hit with Blackout. But as far as I know, there are no ways around the Blackout rules. Dish's NFL Red Zone channel is the best compromise solution and it works for me. Besides, it cheap too.

What does having been around since the beginning have anything to do with it?
Let's see, do they offer more channels that 15 years ago? More package choices than 15 years ago? More receiver choices than 15 years ago? How about more satellites up in the sky than 15 years ago?

It is an Out-Of-Market package. You will not avoid blackouts of your LOCAL team with NFLST, so why buy it? Every other game is available.

I have NFLST, and I haven't had an issue with blackouts. Everything that has been blacked out, I have been able to find on my local CBS or Fox. Why buy it? because its not meant for you to get your local team. The package is meant for you to get the out of market games that you wouldn't normally get. If your not getting your local games, two things happened, 1. your team is so crappy that there not selling out, or 2. your local affiliate is dropping the ball.

I understand that but didn't know if when someone forks out that kind of money -- or I should say, based on how much the providers pay the NFL -- that they might just make it wide open. I guess not... :(

Of course, the appeal of Sunday Ticket is for people to be able to see most or all NFL games from around the country. The local teams will still be broadcast on the local channels, i.e. ABC, CBS, NBC, or FOX, subject to blackout rules, of course. Sad that the NFL requires games to sell out in order for people with less disposable income to have the chance to see the games. What's the average ticket price to an NFL game ? Take the family and I'll bet it's more than most people pay for a month of cable or satellite service !!

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....

remembers when ATT had stores and leased home phones
dishstaller
My Wife was recently in an antique store and saw a rotary desk phone and it had one of those sticker overlays that had a business listed with phone number under each number on the dial. She looked closer and it had my old Radio Shack listed under the 8...she bought it. Pretty cool keepsake. Back then I rented vhs movies as well so I had it listed as Radio Shack / Movie Gallery and then the phone number.

That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Week Six Balls and Goats and WTH is Going On in The NFL??

Browns. 1st place in the North. Yup. Believe it or not

Chiefs. Undefeated.

Titans. Won a game ! .... Colts I know, but still.

Saints. Won a game after a while.

Steelers. Having the same season they always have. They somehow find wins on their way to an unceremonial 1st round exit. Mike Tomlin is proud.

Cards. Won a game without scoring a single touchdown

Broncos. How they manage to win games with the dogshit offense they have should be studied.

Bears. Caleb's back and so is their mojo.


Goats

NFC East. For the 2nd straight week no team from this clown show of a division won a game. Eagles are cooked without Hurts. Who's not that good anyway. Commanders suck, Dallas is well ..... Dallas and the Giants have no QB.

Ravens. Lamar is out (as usual). But still. Losing to the Browns is never ok.

Chargers. Still can't win.

Rams. So much for the powerhouse team. They are 2 games under .500

Seattle. Lost to the offenseless Broncos.

Jerry made himself General Manager after he bought the team but make no mistake Jimmy engineered that trade. As well as a lot of others at the time.
rvvaquero
Jimmy Johnson is a football guy. Jerry Jones is a marketer (hustler).

When I see a football player get a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (like taunting) in a close game, I often wonder what he was thinking. Was he thinking, I'm doing everything I can to make this a better team and help win a championship? Or, was he saying to himself, I want everyone to notice how great I am?

Johnson inspires one, Jones the other.

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank :rolleyes:

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phone

For 105W C, you scan in the Westwood tp normally. Then select the audio channel you want. Not necessary to manually enter. On 101W, you must manually enter.

Now that I'm retired, obviously I have different health care insurance. I take 2 prescriptions. With my old insurance I didn't have to pay for either of them, now I do. It's not a huge amount but it led me to dig a little into the cost of prescription medications. I have been using Walgreens for the longest time. But what I found was that Walgreens price is 4.8 times more for one of my prescriptions and the other is 2.3 percent more compared to the lowest price pharmacy. If you pay for prescription medications you might want to have a look at trumprx and see if you can get a lower price.

I run them through several different providers to see who has the lowest cost

Usually it's Walmart or Sam's + GoodRx

You can also price them through the CareCard and WellRx apps.

Sometimes Amazon Pharmacy is cheapest.

TrumpRx?!?

I went on Medicare recently (not an "advantage" plan) and my prescriptions at HyVee were very low out of pocket. The clerk said she was putting them on "Good Rx".
osu1991
I take 10mg Rosuvastatin (Crestor). I was paying $34 for a 90day supply at Walgreens last year when I was on Blue Cross. My Blue Cross premiums were going up to $1800 a month this year, so I switched to an Ambetter Bronze plan (I think that's a Cigna company) for $825 a month. I now have a $40 copay for doctors visits which is fine as I usually only see them once or twice a year, so a huge cost savings. My Rosuvastatin was going to go up to around $90 for a 90 day supply at Walgreens and even more at CVS or one of the local family pharmacies. Ordering online thru my insurance portal from Express Scripts it's $0.74 for a 90 day supply.

I'm fortunate and don't take any medications. A couple years ago I had to take some antibiotics and used the GoodRx app. Went to Walmart and the person behind the desk knew me and told me to just buy them outright....the GoodRx price was a LOT higher. She said they aren't supposed to tell customers when they see they are being screwed.
