what direct tv channel is Deportes he wants to see the cuba game thats on now live

 

[charper1]

4DTV: G10R / 4100H / SR29270 / TP20

Dish Network: 854

 

[Mike McGann]

I'm assuming it's on Para Todos (since it doesn't show up anywhere in the 400s in my guide)...it's one of the hispanic channels one needs a dish pointed at a different place in the sky to get.

Kind of disappointing to us baseball fans.

 

[rabbitt83]

i have dish my cousin has sirect tv i have seen every game on espn 2 live even the non usa games direct tv should have espn alturnative for blackouts u can get all the games there to

 

[HCI]

Directv has MLB home plate from XM channel 878. most of the time when a game is being played this channel will keep you updated live with the game and sometimes even switch over to the game for a couple of endings. I have been listening to it all week.

how can Disn ppl watch WBC live on espn2 and we have to wait till 10 pm ??

this sucks..

 

[charper1]

how can Disn ppl watch WBC live on espn2 and we have to wait till 10 pm ?? this sucks..

Can't be; ESPN does its own production and DirecTV can't edit that. Send channel numbers and times of your example because I watched them just fine. At a certain time, not sure what it was, the WBC was moved onto ESPN alternate (by ESPN) because of event sched conflicts.

 

[medicalwaste]

charper1, you make better sense than my relative who called me up last night and told me he was watching Korea vs Japan WBC LIVE. i checked my D* schedule and it said it was on at 10 pm (pacific.) i don't know exactly what channel he was watching but he said, " espn and it's 5th inning" what the heck?? we both live in los angeles. i will ask him the channel number next time.

what sucks more is, at 10 pm, baseball didn't even show. they were showing tennis instead, with information that says WBC K vs J.

 

[charper1]

Weird, it showed here in PHX and in DFW so not sure what you guys were seeing.

 

[medicalwaste]

"yeah its channel145 espna espn altenative last night we watched the game live"


i asked same thing on dish forum, and someone just put that.

charter1, i did not see any baseball game last night, at least from 10 pm to 11 pm ish.. i went to bed after that. but they were supposed to be on at 10 pm.

yesterday's game was at 7 pm in anaheim. charper1, did you watch it live??

 

[charper1]

they said it was live thats all i know.

 

[medicalwaste]

[[ I noticed the same too. DISH Network showed the games in LIVE syndication, whereas DirecTV had the games tape-delayed. If I knew this earlier, I'd have pushed for a big marketing campaign for the ethnic customers wishing to watch WBC live.

Yep, advantage goes to DISH! ]]



summitadvantage from dish forum gave me this link that shows a table. i guess directtv was one of the few who were left out.

 

[charper1]

404 - FILE NOT FOUND on that link.

So explain how it is that Dish and/or DirecTV can control what and when ESPN shows thier programming? Other than ESPN Deportes, because DirecTV does not carry them in the CONUS lineup.

 

[rabbitt83]

on dish espn alturnitive channel 145 146 has carried every game live
and in engish not in spanish, the screen says espn2

 

[charper1]

So what was it I was watching at the same time on the ALT I wonder? Maybe if I kept up with baseball I would know.

 

[GeorgeLV]

The ESPN WBC games were sold for local syndication. The ESPN2 Japan/Korea game last night was live on my local channel 33. I'd wager that the ESPN2 alternate feeds the Dish Network people were watching was/should have been blacked out for a whole lot of people.
