Frickin' Dish Network....

[strawman]

I'm pissed espn is showing Wisc/Mich St here in NC, show us Tex/OK. I understand ABC showing VT/NCSU but give the rest of the country the Red River Rivalry.

They are all greedy but, it is capitalism at it's best. Charge whatever the traffic will bear!

Which I'm fine with. It's all about finding that equilibrium. They aren't under any obligation to provide the service to us, just like we aren't under any obligation to purchase their product. I'll deal with Dish Network for awhile, but if they just ditch Fox Sports, I'm switching to DirecTV. That's how the process works.

New blood/subscribers usually get a pretty good deal for 6/12 months!

Also, thanks to Dish Network, there are no live games happening on my TV right now. So I have to wait until 7:30 for ULL/North Texas or until 8 for the rest of the games. I could be watching Colorado/Georgia, Oregon State/Arizona State, etc. But no!

I have those two on, plus Iowa St vs Texas Tech. At 8PM, I will be switching all three games.

I want your set up

Actually I forgot about ESPNU which has Georgia Tech and Wake Forest, but can you say "snoozefest"? I'm watching Arkansas State and Louisville on my computer right now, but I definitely prefer my HD television

These providers have us by the u-know-whats. Bright House is one of the few in the country that still doesn't allow espn3.com access on the internet. And Dish and DirectTV get low marks from everyone I know who has subscribed around here due to signal interruptions.

Why does espn2 have usc/wash on instead of ore/stanford????? I'm in NC, show the better game, they are all on the west coast there is no regional tie in. I'm stuck with ND/BC as the ABC primetime game.

I thought ESPN2 was supposed to show Stanford/Oregon for those who get BC/ND on ABC?

I have seen signal interruption even on cable. I have had Dierct for 10 years and may average outages totaling an hour a year! Texas has some monster storms too!

It runs 45 seconds behind but at least you can get your game. Hit expand to get full screen. Great to watch tv while driving.

Time Warner Cable almost dropped ABC and all ESPN channels. They reached a deal 1 day before the college football season started. I would have thrown a bloody fit if they would have dropped them. It's the only reason I pay for cable....other than the History and Discovery Channels (and my wife does like HGTV).

Well I kept hearing that the Big 10 Network and Dish Network were going to get a deal done, but the inaugural game of the Big 10 Network that I missed was.....Well....Let's just not go there

Needless to say the week after that (cough)...."incident", the Big 10 Network was shown on Dish Network from then on
