BTW, the Mets - with the 3rd highest payroll (highest in the NL) didn't make it either IIRC. So, are they are also ruining baseball, but not by as much as the Yankees?
MLB Network has been showing the Don Larsen world series perfect game in it's entirety (except the first inning which is gone)....along with the original commericals. Never been done before. And, Larsen and Yogi are there to tell their story of that day. I like baseball but I'm not a junkie....but this stuff is priceless! It sure ain't Voom, LOL. Anyway, I agree with the previous sentiments that if this stuff means enough to people, they'll switch. That's what's great about having two competitors in the satellite business.....I think we're all better off with choice versus monopoly in the non-terrestial broadcast business.
I apologize if this has been asked already, but will MLB live games take away the FSN regional games in any way? I'm speaking of Fox Midwest in particular since they air most of the St. Louis Cardinals games and have increased the number games every year since I've been on Dish.
Thanks
Thanks
It is actually really good, especially the studio programs. I also like the pillar bars they use for their 4:3 classic material. The pillar bars are brick and the image is made look like a projection screen over a brick wall.
I hope not... at least if Dish has zero plans on getting MLB network.... and if they try to take away any cardinals games to MLB network that wouldn't be shown on FSN, or KSDK (cards TV network) then people will be leaving Dish in droves in the st louis/MO/IA/TN/Arkansas/Southern and central Illinois/Western KY... basically cardinal country... cause if they have any cardinals games on MLB, Dish better get it, or be ready to lose a bunch of subs in the central part of the US... including myself!
They are showing 26 Thursday night games. If its like the NHL Network, it will just be a "mirror" of an existing broadcast. Like last night on NHL Net the Wild/Avs game was a feed from FSN North (with FSWild logo in corner)
so you should be OK and able to see them via "normal" (FSN or OTA) broadcasts
Direct also carries SNY-HD (full time at that...unlike Dish) and YES. So how is Dish better for Mets fans, when Direct carries SNY HD full time and Dish only carries it as a part time game only channel?
If I interpret him correctly, he says Dish is the best channel for the Mets fan because you run no risk of seeing the Yankees...
Too funny...
Now stop being so defensive, young man...its just his opinion...

I would think he would be more upset to see the Phillies, since the Mets choke to them every year.
Hhmm, this will not convince me to spend hundreds to switch to D*. In my case, I have Fios 20/5Mbps internet/phone and can upgrade to HD for $40/mo or less. $25 above lifeline cable/[locals/QAM. I just have to figure out how many MLB or NHL games in HD that FioS will carry. Fios also carries WGN-HD, while D* doesn't and most likely never will.
Dodgers? 
OK, now go beat up the Cubs.

BINGO, just another fiasco. On to renaming the 622 to the HD Duo HD-DVR and the 722 to the incredible high capacity HD Duo HD-DVR and the Classic DDA 200 package ... that's the DISH DVR Advantage, the advantage being no rate increase last year but now you pay for it this year package....

: Dodgers?
WGN America broadcasts many of the the Cubs games due to the high national viewership. There are so many transplanted Chicago folks in AZ, FL, NV, etc...and WGN-HD is in decent demand in those areas...
Don't need WGN-HD as I sub to EI. Just about every Cub game is on EI and I don't care for the Cubs anyway. That being said, I still wouldn't mind having WGN-HD for other things like movies.
