Ask him what channel the Blazer game tonight is on, and then check it on your tv guide. Maybe take a picture of the game not being there and send it to him?
Save those chats from Ronaldo because you'll need them to get our of the your DISH contract. (If that is what you want to do)
Don't let them get over on you son! They are flat out lying! Tell that wetback Ronaldo to learn the game, then post!
Will do. I just pasted the Comcast SportsNet NW wiki blurb: "As of December 2011, the channel is unavailable on DirecTV, Dish Network and Charter Communications. DirecTV and Dish Network maintain that Comcast is negotiating in bad faith. For example, on one hand Comcast argues that the channel must be on a low tier with the most customers.[9] At the same time, Comcast argues that non-Comcast-owned sports channels should be shown only on a sports tier.[10] The Trail Blazers are said to be frustrated and disappointed by the conduct of Comcast over their contract with CSN.[11]"
Not on Dish or Directv. People here in Houston are freaking out now because the Rockets and Astros just switched to Comcast, and those who have something else have been told not to expect a deal. Means I will have to get off my fat ass and actually go to the Blazers v Rockets game at the Toyota center unless one of the National networks miraculously picks the game(s) up
Well, he is persistent. " I have rechecked and it is available with NBA TV and it is subscribed with your package." Thanks guys, without your feedback I would have just taken him at his word (since he seems so sure)
Over the last couple of days I've seen some of you mention FIOS. Verizon sold FIOS to a company called Frontier a few years back. Frontier is now trying to get out of the home cable business and is not accepting new customers. They'll hook up a business but their installers are very sketchy independent contract workers. Frontier does not maintain a local office in the Portland area. If the equipment breaks you have to mail it to the company and then they will mail it back to you. Avoid them.
all you have to say to that is that while you might get NBA TV (which is easy to get), because the games are offered 'locally' (on comcast) they are considered blacked out games. So shit load of good it does you.
I am assuming ant gets csnnw, or root or whatever, but when it is time for a Blazer game that channel will be blacked out on Dish or Direct. If you want Blazers, and you live in the Portland area, you need to have comcast, or you need to go to a bar. It's sad, but that's the way it is. What I would do is try to get a rep to approve the same cost you have now and guarantee it for whatever time you deem
Really? I thought NBAtv superseded local? Huh? It's never really affected me because I don't like the Rockets
Thanks again all. Dish terminated my contract and refunded me without a big hassle. Really want to see the Blazers, so I guess Comcast is next!
I will repeat, I believe if you use an out of area BILLING address when setting up your acct for a Dish or Direct acct, preferably out of state, then you will not be blacked out. Just tell them you are only here part time and prefer to be billed at this other address.
Awesome. I'll just have my Dish bill sent to Mediocre Man's house. Problem solved! In theory, would this work for NBA League Pass games or just for blacked out games on Root or CSNNW?
