Ugh I'm getting SICK of dish. AT&T U-Verse if offering the phone, internet and tv WITH 400 channels for $147 for first 6 months. I think I might jump on that.

Well, in the game notes email from rockets.com, a Dish channel isn't even listed, so I guess that explains it.

DISH has been good to me.

BTW forgot to mention in last post...

FOR THOSE WITH UVERS: Since 2 seasons already for some reason all my replays during ROCKETS GAMES ONLY --- no matter what network......the slow motion replays lag....as if somehow the framerates are causing sync issues. weird problem. I have went through 3 converter boxes.....and my signals are great (currently getting a 30/3 internet connection with no packet loss-uverse being IPTV it means it should be good). Anyone esle with U-verse have this issue??

Hello, Rockets' fan from Romania here!
Will anybody record the game and share it with us after the game is over? On that private tracker? http://www.rocketredrockers.net:6969/index.html
Bima is it?

I live in San Antonio now and they aren't showing ANY preseason games here. I've heard mixed answers on whether NBA LP broadband shows pre-season games. Anyone know the answer for sure? Also I'm worried that even if I order it, the game will be blacked out in San Antonio on NBA LP broadband...I guess I can proxy in, but it would be great to know before i shell out the $110. I can't think of any other way to watch the game Thursday except streaming over the internet and hooking my laptop up to my tv....

Dish created about 6 different URL's that all point to the same site
www.FoxShakedownDISH.com
www.WeOfferedFoxAFairDeal.com
www.FoxRefused.com
www.HowMuchMoreCanWeTake.com
www.DISHWillContinueToFightForCustomers.com
www.ForceFedChannels.com
www.JoinTheFightAgainstFox.com

I tried talking to customer care to get some sort of a discount because of this
However they keep giving me this crap about adding these "extra" channels.
Well, how are these channels going to help me..will the Rockets be shown on NHL Network, CBS College Sports or ESPN Classic? No! These extra channels are not a solution. Fox and Dish need to stop acting like children and resolve this. I am not switching to DirecTV either because its more expensive, you get less and their customer service is even worse...and unfortunately I can't get U-Verse or Comcast where I am at

I agree with this. I have had DirecTV before and I will never go back. And there is No Cable, U-Verse, or Comcast. I have no problem threatening Dish, and I will do that, no doubt, but I have no options.

have no idea on preseason games.

you should be able to watch rox game through the league pass since san antonio isn't considered as rox home coverage area. :grin:

however, if you want to watch spurs games, your league pass won't help you since their games are blackout.

ON NOVEMBER 1ST WE MIGHT BE LOSING THE LOCAL FOX STATION!

This includes NFL games, Simpsons AND Family Guy!

They better sort this **** out before then even if it means a rise in cost for DISH. THIS ****ING SUCKS.

Yeah I was looking at DTV as well but really its not any cheaper.
It seems the same as dish and actually more expensive. My Dish bill was low to start off with and I had all kinds of channels and as the promotions started expiring the channels disappeared and the bill went up.

I chatted with Dish customer service about FSN / Alt channels.
The answers didnt really make sense to me but anyways..here is what the rep said

Customer ChatChat TranscriptPlease wait while we find a representative to assist you...Welcome to DISH Network Chat.(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: Hello

(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: How may I help you?

Me: I would like to know if the Houston Rockets game will be on TV tonight in Houston. Its showing up on the schedule on ch 445 but is it actually going to be shown with all the FOX dispute going on??

(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: I'd be happy to assist you with your request.

(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: Yes you can see that games even with the issues going on with FOX right now.

Me: How about all the other Houston Rockets games later on? Normally they are broadcast on FSN Houston.

(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: Okay.

(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: Right now we don't have updates about it but if the issue is still going on with FOX then you can see that game on an alternate channel.

Me: What is an alternate channel? You're saying that its not affected even though the feed is from FSN?

Me: I just want to get the info now so I ll know whether to stay with Dish or switch before the season starts.

(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: Okay.

(03) HY5 Taha B.VPH: I see that if you the original channels is not available then you can watch the game on some other channel provided by us.

Could they possably be opening up the Legue pass feed to the Houston market until the issue with Fox is resolved?
