Isn't MSGN a NYC regional? I remember when they dropped SNY. I used to watch Big East football games on it.
Really?...did I miss a miracle happening and the Wilpons sold the team?

Nope, just venting. It bothers me that I pay for a regional sports network (I pay the same rate as other cities that get them) and don't get one. I've been a subscriber since 2000, but Verizon Fios is looking better and better every day. A large cache of content on an EHD is the only thing keeping me form making the switch at this point.
Your logic is flawed. You are not paying for a regional sports network if you're not getting one. I get 5 local stations in my dma. How many do you get in NY? Does that mean that I am paying for all those locals which you get and I don't get?
PS I tried to look up NYC locals on the List and they aren't listed there.
New York City gets (20) local channels. Obviously a whole bunch of them are independents. I suspect most markets are very similar to yours or mine, 5-6 local channels.
With everyone always explaining why they are leaving Dish, I often think about all of the technology and technical work Dish has provided let alone some of the equipment they provide
For one who was one of their first 55000 customers, I have never looked back! It will never take a $4-7 dollar increase to cause me to run away.................I remember the first
small dish, and my the way? they did not have installers! You did it all. That doesn't mean the haven't made mistakes, but where I come from thats common with engineers on their trek
to improve.

It ISN'T just a "$4-7 dollar increase", it's a $4-7 dollar increase every single year, without providing much if any extra value in the way they format their programming packages. They know the say 10 stations that everybody WANTS, and they make sure to spread them throughout the packages, so that you might end up with the most expensive package, just because of one or two channels you REALLY want. Or even just one package up from what you'd want to pay. I have America's Top 120 that I dropped down to (from 250), and if you go lower than that, they strip out almost everything worth having and only leave your locals and the throw away free programming channels that hardly anybody ever watches.
They've now reached a point where it's cheaper to get programming from Charter cable, and I can assure you, that's messed up if Charter is cheaper than Dish.
I have to agree with primestar31, for the low end packages dish is a clear winner. On the upper end as far as programming (not equipment) there are comparable & cheaper providers. Many of us have 2 choices, dish or directv. However many do have choices besides the sat providers.
People don't mind a small price increase, but they oppose paying for the hundreds of channels that they don't watch. That will eventually be the demise of Dish and the others unless they start letting us customize our packages.
