which is something the networks don't do enough of anymore. CBS should JIP almost every Sunday evening so that programs would record when scheduled.
West coast viewers still see this all the time on their RSNs. You'll only be effected when your team plays on the west coast and it could delay your broadcast for hours.
Of course that doesn't help the folks who want to watch the show immediately following the sporting event.
Something you only see on Dish when it comes to sports. It is something we Direct subs never see.
Seriously, Dish alocates only a limited about of bandwidth for HD RSNs. This is good in the sense that it allows them to put up more non sports national HD. It is bad in the sense that those on the west coast in particular often get JIPed HD RSN games or games not shown at all in HD. The limited HD RSN bandwidth Dish puts out also limits the number of HD games they can show in their sports packages (CI and LP in particular). This is because the bandwidth is being used to broadcast games on other RSNs. Once these games are complete, then they can utilize this bandwidth for games that started later.
Never?
Never is a very hard modifier.

I was somewhat joking, hence the smiley at the end.
In all seriousness, I don't know about the past, but over the last couple of years I have never seen a JIP game on Direct. Why would they need to if they already have pretty much every RSN broadcasting in HD full-time on CONUS?
There have been some JIP games put out by the network itself to all providers during local broadcast conflicts. This of course is not a provider issue, it is local RSN issue.
