Let Dish Network know how much they suck
« on: April 19, 2006, 08:38:24 pm »
I realize I am just a Charleton Jimerson of the TZ, but I wanted to bring an item to everyone's attention.  This year, because they do not carry Fox Sports Houston, Dish Network will be showing about 20 Astros games this year, and they are just about all on 51 and Espn.  I wanted to stir the pot up a bit and hopefully provide a service to all of the fellow dishies getting screwed right now.  

here is the website to dish network that allows you to leave comments:  

Tell them you want the Astros on Fox Sports Houston.

Well, I live in Northern Louisiana.  FSN Houston is my regional sports network on DISH.  So far other than the games on CH. 51, I have received them all.  Most (if not all) have been on an alternate channel instead of the primary FSN channel, but that is ok as long as I get the game.  

Maybe the difference is the package you have.  I have the Top 180 with locals.

We have Americas top 180 at work, and they have FSH, channel 448 tonight, an alternate.

Hey, Doran's Mullet. You should have it so long as you have the Top 120.

They're just typically (and annoyingly) on the alternate channels from like 445-453.

Upcoming games for you:

Friday vs. Pirates--ALT 3, Channel 447

Sunday vs. Pirates--same

Tuesday of next week--same

Wednesday of next week--ALT 2, Channel 446

Saturday/Monday are on KNWS.

Hope you have the Top 120 package and can find them.

BTW, sometimes the games are on two alternate channels w/ one of them blacked out. Just something to watch out for...

I was watching on dish network and I did some channel surfing and then I came back to it and it was blacked out.  Believe me, I will be talking to them.
