Damn, I just packed up my satellite equipment an hour ago to make the move north from my Florida home to my Northern NY home for springand summer. Is it on all over upstate NY or is it limited????
I am SHOCKED! It's there on 438, the Mets, live on Dish Network. Of course, after getting a 2 run lead, the Nationals immediatly tied the game - but that has nothing to do with Dish! 
Amazing that after years of no "YES", we get this in a matter of days. Very cool.

It's great that Dish has added this ch for NY Met fans and baseball fans in NY. I'm a Yankee fan and occasionally will take in a Met game. Dish Network not having YES on in NY is a very big oversight on their part. I would never pay for a provider that was not giving me access to a huge team in my hometown. When Yanks play Boston....or when the Mets play Atlanta, I would like to watch.
No one has been harder on Dish about this than me, but I give them a lot of credit for coming through for Met fans. Great job.
It is just too bad that they cannot carry the HD channel. The PQ in HD on Cablevision is terrific. However, I give Charlie and Dish all the credit in the world. Thank you on behalf of all Met fans for coming through.

Major props to Dish for getting this deal done. It's just a shame that a deal still can't be worked out with YES. I'd probably switch to Dish if they had YES.

Don't forget about MLB.TVs refund policy
From http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/help/faq_billing_info.jsp#q4
What is the MLB.com Refund policy?
MLB.com will honor any refund request for a Seasonal subscription made within 10 days of the purchase and any refund request for a Monthly subscription made within 5 days of the purchase or within 5 days of the last billing.
Well I just checked the packages listed for SportsNet New York here - http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/programming/channels/index.asp?NetwID=51971 and AEP and Platinum aren't listed, and obviously it's a mistake. However STO has the same problem, I wonder if folks with AEP/Platinum in Cleveland experience the same thing
