I chatted with a Dish agent tonight and she told me that yes they did have MSG and MSG+ available in my area now. From what I just read on this web site it's not even uplinked anymore. The following is the transcript of what she said:
Welcome to DISH Network, your home for TV Everywhere and HD Free for life. To better assist with your buying experience and ensure that we can contact you in case the session is disconnected, please provide your phone number using this format 999-999-9999.

Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Are you still there?
bill: I used to be a dish customer and was wondering what I would have to do if I wanted to sign up for the Locals only pack
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Thank you for asking.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Just to verify, would you like to establish a new account?
bill: What would it cost for Locals only?
bill: I would only have one receiver for now
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Give me a moment while I do that.
bill: thank you
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Thank you for waiting.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): It shows here that we no longer establish local programming for new customers.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): What you would need is to subscribe for our Core packages.
bill: I thought you offered locals only?
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): We offer locals together with the core packages.
bill: What is the least espensive package you have right now
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): If I may ask, how many TVs are we hooking up and how many are in HD?
bill: I would have one receiver for now and I own that one as well as the dish is already setup
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Thank you.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): To start building an order for you, may I have your address and zip code, complete name and the phone number that we would register on your order?
bill: I would need a price first
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Okay.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): The least expensive package that we have right now is our America's Top 120 package.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): To start building an order for you, may I have your address and zip code, complete name and the phone number that we would register on your order?

You will always find something different to watch which means you will have more variety for your viewing pleasure. It includes over a 100 channels with the best in entertainment, sports, news and children's programming with channels like Lifetime, CNN, ESPN and Disney Channel.

bill: So Dish has MSG back on the air?
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Yes.
bill: Are you sure? That is why I cancelled my account
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Yes I am sure bill.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Can I have your zip code please?
bill: 11977

Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Give me a moment.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Madison Square Garden 412 / Madison Square Garden Plus 413 and SportsNet New York 438 is available now in your area.
bill: I just looked and it says only SNY is available and that MSG is still off because of a contract dispute. Did they just settle the contract dispute?
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): We already have it in our programming list according to your zip code.
bill: I was told the same thing last time but when they they activated my account there was no MSG, that is why I am asking. I know I am supposed to get MSG but is it available
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Yes, it is available.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): If you are hesitating about the MSG programming. You can call 1-800-894-9131 to speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives.
bill: ok maybe I will do that to make sure.
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Sure. Not a problem.
bill: Can you tell me if you still have the Welcome Pack before i call them. Thanks
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): We no longer have it.
bill: OK Thanks
Catherine (ID: 3OZ): Is there anything else?
bill: no thanks
Customer has initiated a cobrowse session.
This is not the first time I have been told by Dish that MSG is available when it is not. Then I am told that their Welcome pack is no longer available when I know it is available. Where does Dish get these agents from or maybe I shouldn't blame these agents. I should probably blame Dish management for the way they train these agents and the misinformation they give them. Maybe one of Dish's agents online here can actually give me the correct information. Is MSG available, is the Welcome Pack available and WHY do I always get misinformation from its agents?

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

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?

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....

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
Actually it looks like there are a lot of features new or updated, although most are on a gradual rollout schedule.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.
