no replacment

[cfkillers]

I called dish about replacement channels specifically espn classic and big ten network i get America everything package but i am not getting those channels. Dish stated im supposed to get them but they dont know why its not showing. The only solution dish had " i can get them is by signing up the sports package and we will credit your account. but you must call back to cancel in a month." what if lockout is more than a month? " we are working hard to get those channels back on the air now". is anyone else having this problem getting these channels?
also if i loose my local fox will dish install an ota antenna so i can get WTTG-DC?

I'm wondering if this only applies to those who actually lost their FSN.

You're on your own for any OTA channels.

I had the same question and called in and they gave me the same deal. I didn't expect it because I didn't lose my RSNs and they said the replacement was for those that had the multi-sports package. Like you, I thought it should be for anyone who lost their RSN. The package is useless because the only channel I can access is the Big Ten network. If that's the norm with the multi-sports I don't see it as being worth $7 a month.

"Move" to a Baltimore address to get WBFF (45) and the rest of the Baltimore locals.

Same thing here... but they told people that lost "FX, Geo and all those other channels" so regardless I've lost FX and at least Geo so I should get them but I'm not and I'm told the exact same thing and not sure what to do about it.

At one point, both Classic and BTN were included but were moved off some time ago. Reshuffling of packages occurs alot. Doubt you have any recourse except to pay for the multi-sports.

i live 10 min outside D.C. i need weather and traffic and news for d.c metro area not Baltimore metro. grrrrr. i signed up with dish because it was cheaper than comcast and directv but this drama. i think ill invest in ota antenna and see if i can get a handyman to install it and run wires
