With the NFL season drawing closer, I have decided to do something unique and innovative to get the thought of our NFL fans on here.

It's called Four Downs- I ask fans of teams four questions about their team going forward this year, followed by asking how you see their season playing out.

For instance, I ask salsa 4 questions about the Raiders, HDMM 4 questions about the Browns, Cybok 4 questions about the Steelers, etc.

(Anybody is welcome to ask me the 4 questions about my Bills).

The reason I'm putting it in its own thread- I don't want it to get cluttered up with the NFL thread, since there'll be plenty of posts on there about news and other stuff going forward to/until the preseason.

Raider time: 4 Downs with Salsa

1. Would the Raiders have been better off last year if Jason Campbell didn't hurt his collarbone, thus not making the Palmer trade a necessary? I ask this considering Palmer's inconsistency and the cost they gave up for him.

2. Early on last year, McFadden looked frighteningly good. Then he got hurt. Now they don't have Michael Bush, so they don't have a Plan B. If he doesn't produce this year, might he be traded? Feels like make-or-break.

3. Oakland is percieved as being penalty-prone and undisciplined. Is it really as simple as players bring a little too aggressive or flinching at the line of scrimmage?

4. Your defensive coordinator- no longer a tub of goo, but is he any good? Same for the new coach- Hue Jackson was a few bad breaks from hosting the Steelers in a playoff game, so why change everything? They no longer have losing records!

Finally, what are your expectations for the Silver and Black?

4 downs for Bill and his Patriotic football players:

1. New England has made a nice metamorphosis from 'Brady throws to stud WR's' to 'Brady throws to stud TE's.' Especially Gronk, who has become a New England TE offensive terror ala the days of Ben Coates. You said Hernandez was the more athletic guy, but how has Gronk become so superb?

2. What is it about Brady and Belichick that makes them tick and mesh? These two guys have been football freaks of nature (in a good way) for the decade. It's like milk and cookies! They are good by themselves, but together- wow!

3. New England's defense is interesting to say the least. They have some young studs (Mayo, Carter, McCourty), but do have some lapses here and there. Is this a situation which a guy like Richard Seymour could have put them over the top the last two years?

4. The division features hot-and-cold Buffalo (literally), schizophrenic Miami, and a Jekkyl-and-Hyde Jets team with, media-wise, the most discussed pair of QB's on a team media-wise since Montana and Young were in the Bay Area. Division-wise, is there anything that makes you say 'We GOT to be careful facing them?'

Raider time: 4 Downs with Salsa

1. Would the Raiders have been better off last year if Jason Campbell didn't hurt his collarbone, thus not making the Palmer trade a necessary? I ask this considering Palmer's inconsistency and the cost they gave up for him.

Well...1st off, IF Campbell does not get hurt... would McFadden have gotten hurt and the WR miss more than half the season? The Raiders season was COMPLETELY setup by all of the injuries. Look, do I WISH the Raiders have not traded their 1st and the their 2nd round picks? No. Is Palmer a BETTER QB than Campbell....YES. Alot of Palmers' inconsistency was due to a lot of things: Injuries, no OTAs, no preseason...and coming off the couch to play within 10 days? I don't care WHO you are..from Aaron Rogers to Drew Brees to Eli Manning...you were NOT gonna get off right missing all that AND on a new team.

2. Early on last year, McFadden looked frighteningly good. Then he got hurt. Now they don't have Michael Bush, so they don't have a Plan B. If he doesn't produce this year, might he be traded? Feels like make-or-break.

It IS a make or break year for him. There two sides to McFadden. WHEN he is healthy, he is AS GOOD as ANY RB in the NFL...period. But, the magic word is healthy. It has been either one or the other. The Raiders WILL sign Benson. WHAT they are waiting is desperation on Benson side. IS it a douchey move by the Raiders? You could say that...BUT all the good GMs do it and they call that move "shrewd". The Raiders have an EXTREMELY talented Taiwan Jones will be BETTER than Michael Bush....mark my words.

3. Oakland is percieved as being penalty-prone and undisciplined. Is it really as simple as players bring a little too aggressive or flinching at the line of scrimmage?

This issue has been in the DNA of the Oakland Raiders since BEFORE I can speak English AND Spanish! LOL! If they can just cut 1/3 of the penalties, they would probably be in the top 5 teams in penalties...but might have a few more stops and a few more TDs.

4. Your defensive coordinator- no longer a tub of goo, but is he any good? Same for the new coach- Hue Jackson was a few bad breaks from hosting the Steelers in a playoff game, so why change everything? They no longer have losing records!

For the last few years, the Raiders have had offensive minded head coaches. The offense is fine but as talented as the Raiders front line and some of the LBs were...they were not producing. I am glad they went the route they did. And for as much as some have suddenly forgotten what Dennis Allen did for Denver's defense...he will do the same with the Raiders.

Finally, what are your expectations for the Silver and Black?

My expectations for my Raiders? Hmmm... IF..and that has always been the case with the Raiders, IF they can stay RELATIVELY healthy...they go 9-7 at worse and 10-6 and win the division. Regardless of Manning. IF they get the same thing of last year, lose McFadden, lose half the WR corp to injuries...it will get ugly because they have little depth due to cap restraints.

The ENTIRE season will depend on whether the Raiders can stay healthy.

that guy in your avatar brings back a lot of memories for me. it was always fun watching him go after danny which he barely every sacked. too quick of a release. smith and white will always be my favs. bruce smith would battle it out with our #78 on the offensive line, richmond webb

Gronk is as big or bigger than most defensive ends with good speed, it is very difficult for a LB or safety to cover him. Hernandez is more dangerous in the open field, does have a tenancy to drop a pass or 2.

2. What is it about Brady and Belichick that makes them tick and mesh? These two guys have been football freaks of nature (in a good way) for the decade. It's like milk and cookies! They are good by themselves, but together- wow!

I think that they absolutely trust each other and that stems from the 2001 season when Bill decided that the Pats were Brady's team.


3. New England's defense is interesting to say the least. They have some young studs (Mayo, Carter, McCourty), but do have some lapses here and there. Is this a situation which a guy like Richard Seymour could have put them over the top the last two years?

No. Everyone points to the defense, but the defense played well enough to beat the Giants both times. The Oline crapped the bed in both games. John Hannah would of helped more than Seymour.

4. The division features hot-and-cold Buffalo (literally), schizophrenic Miami, and a Jekkyl-and-Hyde Jets team with, media-wise, the most discussed pair of QB's on a team media-wise since Montana and Young were in the Bay Area. Division-wise, is there anything that makes you say 'We GOT to be careful facing them?'

I think the Bills could win 9-10 games, and that's good enough to get them 2nd place in the division. I just think the other QB's in the division are garbage. Jets win 8 and I'll give the Dolphins 3. So maybe the Bills in Buffalo have a chance to be that "careful" game.



Finally, your expectations for this year?

Realistically, anything short of a Lombardi will be disappointing.

I think Hart covered just about everything that you need to know. I just want to add one thing: watch the defense!! IMO, this is a VERY underrated unit going into 2012. With the additions of Jones, Hightower, Wilson, Bequette, Fanene, Scott, Allen and Dowling (who missed most of his rookie season to injury) via the draft and free agency, the Pats got much more talented and athletic on D.

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.

Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.

Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

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....

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.

For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)

Thanks for your understanding. :)

Actually, PWA stands for "Progressive Web Application" and is basically just saving a site's homepage to your desktop where it appears as an "App" with the rest of your smartphone's Apps.

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.😎

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 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:

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.

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,

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.

Final Update... As of 8:08 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026.

I now have MLB Extra Innings back! Look at the photo! (I did not include full image of the game due to copyright)

Let me just say it was rough! Very rough! And lets just say Charlie Ergen should be ashamed of his customer service team and how they handled this whole issue.

After multiple calls after my last post only to get the run around with answers like there are no refunds on MLB Extra Innings once the season starts, to they are working on it, to accessing my screen and sending multi hits to the box.

All I asked was one simple question remove the MLB Extra Innings which they confirmed I had and reauthorize free of charge. I was given a 1,000 reasons why this couldn't be done.

Well..........

I paid for it myself.... $120.00 current rate and it works!

I called back in to let them know what I done and what I thought of the customer service and told them I needed refunded. I was told they didn't do refunds....

Well again I called back and got someone who refunded the original payment of $150.00 back to my account. A $30 discount for all the hard trouble I went though.

It is now up to you all out there that have MLB Extra Innings to try to get them to do this but I am afraid you are going to have to take your own action and purchase again and beg for a refund or be out the $150.00 originally paid.

Persistence pays off. I don't give up very easily.

You can all go here below to make the purchase if you have any trouble.


I hope it all works well for you! And best of luck to everyone who has it!

I will still be around on this forum. You all sound like a fine group of people! I hope I can contribute more.

Take care!
