SNY question

[Marty43]

Hi folks, I am a Dish network subscriber but lurk here in the Direct Forum occasionally to see what's happening with the other half . This weekend I had friends visit and we were discussing Sat. tv. They said they had Direct tv, and I was showing them my Dish setup.

The talk got around to sports and of course I told them I did not get Yankee games as Dish could not make an agreement with YES. but I did get Mets games on Dish on SNY. They said they got YES, but were Mets fans and did not get METS games. They did not know which pkg they subscribe to but they did get MSG, FSNY, and YES.

They live in NY state zip 13684, They apparently have a pkg that gives them their local RSN's, isn't SNY a local RSN, like YES? They thought they might have to take sports pak to get SNY. Is that true? Shouldn't they get SNY just like they get YES?

Any one got an answer I can give them. Is SNY on a different sat. they might not be lookin at, they have an older dish that has a single LNB. Do they need to be seeing more than one sat?

Thanks for any answers.

Have your friends go to the website below and type in their zip code and that will tell them wether they qualify for SNY or not.

They should get it tell them to tune to CH 625. They are in the NY RSN

yes that website with their zip says they qualify they should get SNY on ch 625. They say that 625 does not show up in their guide.

Although its not listed in the EPG (assuming they are not in some favorites list) have they tried manually entering 625? What happens?

Maybe try performing an initial setup?

I emailed off your suggestions to them. thanks for the responces

On many (all?) DirecTV receivers you can edit your guide to show what channels you want as well as make a favorite list or two. They should edit their guide listings to make sure that channel 625 is included. Could be as simple as that.
