DISH COVERAGE OF OLYMPICS

[thechaz05]

I like the app idea, hope I can get them on my 922, have been wondering how to get more as it is. Currently watching the olympic soccer channel, getting excited for everything to get started. I love the olympics.

Since this will be my first HD Olympics I will be watching my OTA NBC feeds though my 922's MT2 so I can change the 1080i broadcast to 720p which I like better.


Because we all know the best HD is OTA HD.

Yes indeedy. No silly glasses required to use those apps.

Or silly entertainment value from them.

 

[dwarren2]

why hasnt the soccer channel been turned on competition started already..

Because the women's soccer is live on 159.

I don't suppose there's any chance of a DIRT hookup for the NBCSports network for those of us in the AT200/Silver/whateverit'scalledthesedays package, similar to the NFL RedZone hookup over the winter?

 

[thebaggins]

So no special olympic channels unless you have HD setup?

The two channels 147 and 148 are still in red here. I got Dish Latino Max so I am also no getting MSNBC or NBC Sports.

 

[The Fat Man]

Yesterday the women's soccer matched between Japan and Canada aired on 148 hours before it aired on NBC Sports.

I watched last night and it seemed so fake with having the announcers in a studio in New York talk about a game that was a few thousand miles away. Because they were not there they seem disinterested and to be just going through the motions.

 

[Pepper]

Just how long does one of those matches last? Sure seemed like 148 hours when I was watching it yesterday.

 

[The Fat Man]

They kept reminding us that they were in New York. You are right Scott, international coverage is usually much better.

I have the channels in red in my guide... what package should I have to get them?

I have the same question. Do you need a certain package to get the specialty channels? I have 120+.

 

[jerryez]

MSNBC is in the Dish Silver Pack and NBC Sports is in the Dish America Gold Pack.

Just to let those who may have the same programming packages know: I PM'ed Zach and he confirmed that these channels are not included in any Latino packages. I was hoping for better, Dish!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am hearing you need AT200 or above to get the two olympic channels.

The channels are not available in the Latino packages unfortunately.

That's an awful decision on Dish's part.

That's an awful decision on Dish's part.

+1

 

[bluegras]

Yet Again Dish Latino customers get discriminated..
