I have AT 250 so it doesn't affect me but the HD versions of the multi-sport pack channels really should be included. From the Disney problem they supposedly aren't paying extra for HD simulcasts so why not include them in the sports pack?

My point exactly. So if I want RedZone and NHL HD I have to buy Multisports and AT200?? Makes no sense. NHL HD should be in Multisports... Is Dish listening??

I believe RedZone should already be in HD for you if you already have an HD package because there is no other way to get it besides the sports pack. I'm not sure about NFL Network.

Redzone IS in HD with Multisports but my rant is about NHLNetwork.

Why is it only SD in Multisports but to get HD I have to go to AT200.

That means if I want Redzone and NHL in HD I have to pay for Multisports AND the upgrade to AT200...

I agree with you about the HD channels in Multi Sport but I think RedZone makes the package worth it by itself during the NFL season. I am a huge fantasy sports nerd so I love being able to see all the big plays live from every game.

Right now I can't see myself paying for $350 to D* for Sunday Ticket so this is the next best thing and it's only $9 a month. In my mind that is a great value. Keep in mind that with D* you can't get RedZone without Sunday Ticket with a few exceptions. Some people have been able to call in and get it as a standalone but it isn't officially offered.

With AT 250 I already get every channel in the sports pack that I want included with my base package besides RedZone (BTN is included as a RSN in my state). I will still pay for the sports pack every fall for just that one channel.

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but if you bump up to AT 200 during hockey season and drop multi sport you will pay $5 and get NHL in HD along with some other channels. Unfortunately you still wouldn't get NBC Sports for their exclusive NHL games including the playoffs.

I also believe that DirecTV's red zone is different than the one on Dish and cable. DirecTV's is produced by them, where the one we get is produced by the NFL as an alternative to Sunday Ticket.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

All DMA's now Western Arc

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

He does not have the resources aka $$$ compared to Elon Musk as in reality, Elon can eat Charlie for lunch or even mop the floor with Charlie if he wanted to.

Also watched part 2 about a week or so ago after rewatching part 1. It's not as faithful to the book as I was hoping for. Part 1 stayed fairly faithful to the novel, but part 2 took some liberties that I felt were rather excessively non-novel. It looks like a prequel series will happen before part 3. My issue is: there's no prequel that was written as a novel, so what will it be pulled from? Or will it just be "based loosely" on the novel?

There is a bunch of other Dune written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (Franks son). I think the series in production is taken from one of their books about the Bene Gesserit.

Correct. I've read all of them (yes, it took awhile, better part of a year, in my spare time). And they can't really consider or classify a series about the Bene Gesserit as a prequel. Sure, I suppose they can call it that, if they want to, because it begins before the time of Paul Atredies, but it's still a stretch. It's a Dune-related novel, not a prequel as we generally think of prequels...

Well, it looks good! I just hope they stayed close to the trilogy, but it doesn't look like it.
