How can I see Yankees games on the Dish. I live in CT and the game on ESPN is blacked out. Can I never watch a yankee game again? :confused:
 
What promotion did you go with. I'm assuming DHA, since that's what their main one is. If that's the case then yes you can cancel. But if you ordered through a retailer make sure they don't have a commitment. If you decide to cancel what Dish will do is ask you 20 questions and offer you their dropping promotion. Cancel. Then they'll send you prepaid boxes and you gotta return the equipment in two weeks.
 
Thats how I felt with tyring to watch Boston in my town in CT. No NESN on my cable system, just YES. So I made the move to Dish and never looked back. :) :D

If it's blacked out on Dish, wouldn't it also be blacked out on DTV?

Not quite. The channel that gets blacked out on both is espn. The game doesn't get blacked out on YES, cause that's the regional coverage. So since DirecTV has the channel YES, you can see the game there.
 
funny though, I live in Central Iowa, part of the Cubs home market as defined by MLB, yet, whenever the Cubs play on say Wednesday night ESPN, the ESPN coverage isn't blacked out on E*. Does the blackout only apply within so many miles of the ball park?
 
I decided to stick with Dish for now, since now I can see the Yankees in all thier playoff glory on Fox and with Sirius getting Stern and Eminem channels.(which I hope are made availiable on Dish)

Currently, the Sirius-DISH contract prohibits the broadcast of the non-music channels. Charlie made reference to this in the last Charlie Chat but I can't remember exactly what he said about any future possibility.
 
Well Eddie29 it seems that you will not get to see any Yankee games next season if you stick with Dish Network. They seem to have no intentions of ever putting YES on there systems. NBA season is also about to begin and if you have Dish Network you won’t be able to watch any NJ Nets basketball since they are also on YES. I guess if you’re a sports fan DTV or IO digital cable is the way to go. Charlie doesn't seem to like sports. But it seems that he sure loves porno!!! There are so many porn channels on Dish Network it isn’t even funny.

If he wants Dish to carry it maybe Steinbrenner should change the name of his station to YES...YES...YES!
:p :) :D

So Eminem's channel's a possibility then?

I doubt it. They are only carrying the music channels right now (no Club Pam, etc.)

I love the music channels which are MUCH better than the other music channels they have, but yu'll have to shell out for a receiver and pay the $12 a month to get the rest.
