OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

[Young C]

Speaking of "real men watch sports"..

I'm not a man until I cancel DISH.

: p opcorn :

 

[KAB]

and I'm an adult

We'll need to see some ID.

 

[Young C]

lmao

That's funny.


hey, don't let the user name and postings fool yeah. haah


Edit: Damn my TV habits. I wish I wouldn't care for NatGeo and FX. Then this would have never happenend.

Dish vs Fox

Maybe Dish should drop all of the other Fox channels until this problem is resolved.Show them that Dish can survive without them. Don't get me wrong I wouls like to see the Reds play ball,but if I can't watch the game I have no need for the other channels.


Thank you,
Bruce

I wonder if FOX needs more money, and they're doing bad in this recession.
That or greed. They're not making enough money and want to be on the Forbes top 100 list.

I mean, why did this whole conlifct have to start? Money, right?

I'm sure both company's are still making a lot of money in profit. :tux:

Where is ESPN Classic and other sports channel. Mine still is blocked out?

 

[stardust3]

Natgeo 186 is working here as of 5:20 pm eastern. Thought that was 1 that was pulled.

I am sorry; I posted the channel numbers for those who sub to those channels.

However, Dish set up separate channels from 9660-9682. I believe that EPSN Classic is channel 9678 for those who do not sub to the Multi-Sport package.

Is it back on? HD Theater was showing earlier.

Sorry bud, Dishnetwork got you.

Oh well. Here's a -1 for stupid E*

Another case of "I see it in my guide!!!" ?



Have you literally tuned into the channel and see a National Geographic logo?

btw, if I had to pick one I would prefer to keep FX.

 

[stardust3]

Ahhhh, I see now the guide says 1 thing and what is coming through is something different...................HD theater.

 

[Mojo Jojo]

By the way, I am still seeing FX and NatGeo listed on the Dish site.
When searching for locals, local FSNs taken off are replaced with dots (.......................). I am still debating on putting the channels in our favorite lists unless the deal takes a long time. Of course, we already get the Platinum and AT250 channels, and we are not big sports fans unless it is something local.

Sorry. I meant to put this on the original post.

 

[Young C]

Ahhhh, I see now the guide says 1 thing and what is coming through is something different...................HD theater.

I thought so.

This has been happening all day. Don't worry about the misshap.

Stupid DISH. You delete a channel, but you leave it on your guide?
Great work there :tux:

 

[jblank74]

Is it back on? HD Theater was showing earlier.

He's wrong, it's still HD Theater.

 

[Mojo Jojo]

Sorry bud, Dishnetwork got you.

They are actually on channels 9660-9682. I guess this is to avoid confusion of those who think that they will get the channels permanently if an agreement is made. I found out when watching our FSN that got taken off. Charlie actually made an appearance explaining what happened.

 

[Young C]

cool, I gotcha.

I was just wondering how many of the above sports channels I would be able to view.
Would be funny if 80% of the channels were 'blacked out'

:thud:

 

[Mojo Jojo]

How do we get these channels? None of them work for me.
Dan

I apologize again; they are on channels 9660-9682. No HD either...

 

[Young C]

Feel sorry for people not "in the know" who look on E*'s website and see their two (2) favorite channels (FX and NatGeo) and order Dishnetwork service. Get it installed, only to figured out the got screwed by Dish.

i.e. their website as not been updated.
:hammer:

 

[Yespage]

Well, the one good thing from this is there will be fewer RSNs, so fewer chances for GoalieBob to bitch about them not being 100% HD.
