dish network and rockets game

I think that was a pretty smart move by Fox. They own the share in Direct TV and they just asked for a crazy price increase from Dish just to get customers to switch from Dish to Direct TV. It was never about money to them, but to pry some of the Dish customers away. And they were pretty successful with it. And now that they got what they wanted, they quickly struck a deal with Dish. Pretty smart.

 

I thought this is what my problem was. I live with my brother temporarily and they only have the basic dish package and it doesn't offer fox sports. He refuses to upgrade to the next tier so I can't watch the games. In dallas it was included in the lowest package. I don't get it????

 

But I just went with the cable company for a while til the smoke blows over. Screw FOX and screw Murdoch.

Kept my DISH stuff and what not.

 

is there an HD feed of the game tonight?

the paper says it's on FSH, but i only see the game on 449

 

i'm getting the same thing here. i wonder why FSH can't get a dedicated channel on dish...

 

if i'm not mistaken, foxsw carries occasional astros games and at other times they're on the fox alt... i would have thought the rockets games would be the same, but i'm getting the dallas stars game on the 416SD channel, and nothing on the HD feed

 

im getting no game on my dish, im gonna ***** someone up tomorrow.

 

what's on 449?

 

So no HD feed? I'm getting the game in SD on 449

 

Yep no HD here. Are Direct TV and other subscribers getting an HD feed?

 

So after 2012, you will be good to watch Rockets/Astros network on Direct TV and Dish Network, correct?

 

Yep, you should be able to watch. Not sure about the contract they have or when it expires between now and then, but the channels exist now.

 

yep HD on Direct TV here, FShouston HD 678-1

 

I have SD on 449 also, I don't understand why all games cant be in HD.

 

Dish network blows...most of the NBA games on today are not in HD. They are always the only service that does this from what I've seen.

 

I have 678-1 saved under Favorites.
