I have a timer to record all new "Soccer". It is an SD channel so it really doesn't take much DVR space. Record to a BeIN folder, check BeIN website to see what actually was on select recording from that day and time and then enjoy BeIN in all it's SD glory, stretched and zoomed.
Considering that the generic "soccer" programming blocks of time on the Dish on-screen guide frequently do not match beIN's broadcast schedule, this workaround is completely impractical.
What is keeping you with Dish? BeIN in HD is the most important thing for you. Just change and be done.hardhead said:
beIN Sport is available in DISH America Gold, America's Top 250, America's Everything Package, DishLATINO Basico, DishLATINO Clasico, DishLATINO Plus, DishLATINO Dos and DishLATINO Max.
Just to clear things up, are there two separate channels for beIN Sport, one with English and one with Spanish (where programming may vary from time to time)? Regardless, is only the Spanish version (whether a Spanish clone of beIN Sport in English or its own separate station) available to DishLatino ... customers?
Thanks.
Zach, Please clarify when BEIN will be offered in HD by DISH. I was told via an online chat with DISH rep back on 8/21 that HD would be offered some time in Sept'12. True?
Thank you

Ask them if Fearnet is coming probably tell you yes too...
nah, they wouldn't do that.........
Normally csr's don't know that information I think they were just telling you something to make you happy or get you off the chat.
I have not heard any plans to start offering the hd version.

871 is only available on the DishLATINO packages. I do not have any information about this channel becoming available in HD.
Obviously, as an English package subscriber (AT250), I am no longer receiving channel 871. If I were to add the DishLatino Bonus pack to get ESPN Deportes and Fox Sports en Español, would I also get beIN Sport en Español (Ch. 871)? The only reason I would be interested in getting that channel is that there are times according to the beIN Web site when the programming is supposed to be different than on the English beIN Sport. I never found that to be the case while I was receiving channel 871, but regardless, I thought I would ask.
Are there plans for Dish to add Bein Español? It took me a bit to figure out that channel 871 is not Bein Español. After going to Bein Sport website I saw the programming schedule which 871 gives is just the English channel with Spanish audio patched in sometimes. I get 871 through the Dish Latino Mas pack.
Today I am only receiving channel 871 for El Clasico and not 406....anyone else?
I'd really like it in English.

This isn't specifically about BeIn, but they were rumored to be taking over EPL, so I thought I would bump this here instead of starting a new thread.

NBC/Universal has won the bid for the English Premier League starting in 2013. This should be good news for Dish soccer fans as all the channels they would air this on (NBC, NBCSports, Universal Sports) are available to Dish subscribers one way or another (as opposed to if BeIn had won and we would need to hope that whatever 2nd or 3rd feed they put games on would end up on Dish somehow).
It also means that Fox Soccer is likely to be re-branded or disappear, right? They will have almost nothing to broadcast next year.

Sorry, but you are off the mark on every point.
Fox Soccer has the UEFA Champions League for several years (and the FA Cup), so it will not be disappearing.
NBC will be showing only 6 EPL games a week on their TV channels, but ALL games will be online.
So, unless you are a ManUtd fan, you will probably want to have a good setup connecting some PC or laptop to your TV by August.
Lastly, most of the TV games will be on NBC Sports Network, which is only in the expensive AT250 package on Dish.
So, EPL fans will be watching online in August, not on Dish or any other TV provider...

Currently fox soccer is also on A250 package...so epl soccer fans on dish will not lose anything.

The current rumors suggest they may rebrand a number of their stations such as Speed and FSC. FSC's value has dropped substantially with the loss of the EPL.
6 games per week isn't an "only" situation. That is comparable to FSC coverage. This will mean the majority of games will be covered. The online portion is to be determined, I believe, as to how you can watch it, ie via subscription to NBC Sports or an online subscription.
This is my question, when does that contract get renewed or with Comcast make a pitch to Dish to get it into a lower package.
FSC is currently on Latino Dos which is substantially cheaper than 250. I don't think I will get 250 to watch the EPL. Don't think I can justify the price. Time will tell. NBC Sports has to be getting moved eventually, if not just to the Sports Pack.
