Sports packages BEV vs SC

[jgard1786]

I'm considering a switch from BEV to SC. I lose too many stations here in So CAl and don't want to wait till 2008 on the chance it will be corrected when BEV changes satellites.

I did not see a centre ice package on SC, can anyone tell me if it's offered?

I don't believe either service offers the baseball package though RogersSN has a selection of games.

With a 30" dish I should have no problem pulling in SC programming.

WGN local is offered on SC how about TBS local. TBS local Atlanta is offered on BEV?

Is it possible to get both Detroit/ Buffalo and Seattle/Spokane if one is willing to pay extra?

Thanks to anyone who can help with my questions.

correct

With a 30" dish

75 cm elliptical dish or 2 X FSS round dishes to get all programming

WGN local is offered on SC how about TBS local.

yes

Is it possible to get both Detroit/ Buffalo and Seattle/Spokane

Yes - get HD receiver - gives you Detroit/Seattle. Select Buffalo or Spokane for SD option. Purchase other SD as bundle or subscribe to Digital Advantages pkg

if you dont want HD, a 30" dish will work just fine. No need for the eliptical one.

TBS is WTBS on SC and Superstation TBS on EVu
Both have WGN9 feed from Chicago now

Since you can get Detroit/Seattle HD feeds at no extra charge, I suggest that you go for the HD receiver + elliptical dish. The HD receiver is MPEG4 upgradable - the SD units are not.


All the new channels will go on F2 - that's where NFL ST and NFL network are already. And that way, you get 3 feeds for just the price of Essentials

EVU has the local WTBS17 as well ...

Just keep in mind if you do it this way (as I do, in fact I select Buffalo as my option and pay for Spokane), you don't get Seattle's ABC because they don't have it in HD.

WTBS plays the same as TBS Superstation correct? Unlike WGN?

WTBS has some cartoons or headline news at 6AM CST because they need to fulfill the E/I thing
