CBS Tourney

Does Dish not offer up about 4 channels specifically for the tourney? I thought they did. If so where are they? If not, WHY NOT???

4 channels? You mean to give you access to all the games? Nope, that's a DirecTV exclusive.

Your local station may OTA, but not for Dish. I think you are confusing the two.

Local stations can carry a max of two games at a time this year.

Yep that's what I meant..Everything is exclusive to DTV, Why did I come to Dish again?

I dont understand that... locals are doing it not just OTA, the cable systems are showing 3 channels with the games without a "mega madness" package, they are just doing it.

If they can do it, so can dish. (right?)

Good question, please feel free to switch back at any time.

For the past two years my local CBS (Atlanta) has offered the other gams on their digital sub channels. But this year they aren't. That really stinks. I'm assuming this is because of the Direct exclusive thing. I'm stuck watching one on TV and streaming the others online. Grrr.

My pop in Greensboro NC is getting 3 right now through the cable company.

I used to get 4 OTA but the local CBS said that due to CBS restricting them to 2 feeds and the complaints last year about no HD games they decided to just carry the one feed this year. Does Greensboro have multi CBS affiliates that they can receive?

You knew the answer before you asked the question, and were just trying to give it to DISH.

If you don't like it, you always have a choice. Idiotic posts are not necessary either.

Well as it turns out, Atlanta CBS actually is showing 2 games. My POS 722k will not pick up the sub channel, but my 722 sees it just fine. Just changed rooms to watch the games.

For how many years, I do not know.
