What about the Sportschannels????I see they are selling that for $6.99 a month..
Anyone else have that service?
I feel for its not a bad deal,since I still am useing my big dish....JohnnyT

 

[Mr Tony]

nope. You can get locals for 5.99 only (+ 6.00 bs fee) but to get the RSN's you HAVE to have AT60+ or AT120

I had locals only for 2 years...was 10.99 + tax (there was a $5 BS fee...now its $6)

 

[johnnytuinals]

Yea I know Iceberg,I have the L.A. locals and paying $11 a month....
It looks like on their site they are asking $6.99 a month for Sports...
Hate to keep the 60 Plus when I will have to start paying full price in July lol
I can keep most of the programing on C Band but thought I would keep my Locals and pay a tad extra for the 3 sports channels from NYC for $6.99,,,guesss notttt....dammmmm...JT

I think you are inferring the multi-sports pack. Most of the pro sports teams on this package will be blacked out. Also, a majority of the programing is repeated on most of the channels in this pack. I usually winds up being a lot of money for repeats and games you can't watch.

 

[BFG]

What Iceberg is saying that to even order the multisport package requires that you have at least AT60+

 

[johnnytuinals]

Yea on Dishtv website it says the multi-sports pack is $5.99 a month or you can pay by the year with Annual Price: $70.88 for the MULTI SPORT package....
So If I am right the NYC Locals at 10.99
And the MUKTI SPORTS with MSG,NY Sports channel and the New NYSPORT with the NY Mets on it.....For $5.99 a month...
Total $16.98 a month not a bad deal if thats the way it wotks????
I can see that you are mostly right but they are selling the Sports package at $70.88...Let me know if I am wrong?Johnnyt

 

[Mr Tony]

you are wrong

Locals you can get alacarte but to get the Regional Sports you must have at least AT60+ package on your account to add that. There are very few items you can add alacarte

Outdoor Network (NOT Outdoor life)
locals
Superstations
movie packages
HD

 

[johnnytuinals]

I think I will go the HD way then Mr. Iceberg,,,I might have to say with the 60+ because of the Sports stations.....I ratter just have downgraded and watch most of everything on C/KU band satellite....
Why is dish selling the MULTI SPORT package at $70.88 a year?does not make too much sense if you get the 60+????Thanks JohnnyT

 

[Mr Tony]

The AT60+ you only get your local RSN...so as an example, since I live in MN I would get FSN North. If I wanted the rest of the RSN's, I have to pay 5.99 a month extra

 

[johnnytuinals]

So what yea saying if I keep the 60+ I will keep MSG ,NYsports channel and the new NYSPORTS station with the NY METS....
And if I pay another $5.99 a month I will pickup all the other sports stations.(no Blackouts?}
But then again I am happy with only the NYC sport channels.....Thanks JohnnyT

It has been addressed many times. Blackouts abound on the multisports pack.

 

[Mr Tony]

yep. All pro sports are blacked out except for your local RSN's. To watch out of market games, you need the appropriate package (NBA LP, NHL CI, MLB EI)
