    I wonder if this affects league pass. I could care less about FSW but if I get games blacked out on league pass because of this I'll be pissed.

    TWC is just about as awful as it gets IMO. Our internet is slow, their hardware breaks all the time, we keep getting "This channel is not available at this time" warnings on all our HD channels, and the TWC solution is to "just reset your box." The DVR forgets to record scheduled shows sometimes, or only records half... I would switch to U-Verse in a heart beat, but they don't provide their services in our area. The only reason that I'm with TWC is because they don't require a contract, so I'm switching as soon as a better alternative comes up. Oh, and we live in an apartment that won't let us have dish...
    sounds like your apartment has some crappy cable lines running to it...and you also have a facist management.

    At&t Uverse beats them all.
    i must agree
    anyone got U-vers? is it any good?
    i had dish before and i like it, for me it hardly went out, yes even in the rain. the times that i recall it going out was when the rain would be coming down in buckets. but i wanted to upgrade all my tv with HD and dish couldnt do it so i switched to u-vers and havent looked back. it is great, the whole watch the recording in any room works wonders.

    Over 10 years with DirecTV..no issues man.. give it a shot.. the thunderstorm thing is overblown.. I had TWC in McAllen, TX in 1998 before switching to DTV... best decision I've ever made.. moved it with me back to SA...hardly think about the service anymore...bill is on autopay..$10.00 off bill for that by the way... free HD....sheesh..I would definitely consider it.... Peace.

    i think just about everyone has free HD now. it will not be all that long before DVR boxes are not even necessary any longer. movies will just be stored on a server and you can access through a 2 way device

    Dish does this with everyone and they do it publicly to force settlements from the channels so they don't have to raise rates. It'll likely get worked out. It does get annoying though. They actually announced that they were developing a new system to replace The Weather Channel and it was all just a bluff to get TWC to negotiate.

    F time warner. they are getting too expensive. paying about 65/month for regular expanded digital cable...
    Lol, that's too expensive? That's the price of an average phone bill..if money is that tight in your household, you shouldn't even have cable, just watch the games with friends.

    I don't know if its DTV or it's preseason on league pass. What ever the reason maybe, this is the first time I get to see Spurs playing in PS game for the first time out here in So Cal. We only got to see Spurs vs Clippers or Lakers before on preseason, now this year i get to watch all the games. So, thanks DTV.

    Just confirmed that even though Dish doesn't currently carry FSSW NBA league pass will still be blacking out games accessed through Dish.

    So the thought of just bypassing the FSSW issue by picking up league pass is a no go.

    I may just pick up grande for a month or two until this is settled.

    s sake I was just going to get the broadband and read this

    Local and national market blackout rules apply based on your location. Nationally and locally televised games are subject to blackouts and are therefore not available via NBA LEAGUE PASS BROADBAND (regardless of home or away)

    B2B, I think you're talking about two different things.
    Blackout rules always applied, and depend on where you live. This has always been the case, even before any contractual dispute between dish and Fox.

    If you have NBALP and Dish, then you get the complimentary broadband service, and you should be able to watch the games online through that service. That's my understanding anyways.

    I know this was always in place. The way I understand it is that if the game is broadcast locally I'm subject to a blackout. Broadband, cable, satellite or otherwise. Regardless of whether my provider actually carries the local channel feed or not.

    Couldnt you run your feed through an IP diverter of some sort? There is a specific term for this, but I forget what it is. Basically, you set it up so that you connect to the LP server by sending your signal, which is then re-routed before it hits the LP server to look like it is coming from an IP address in Dallas or something. I know there are programs out there that do this for you, I just can't remember what they are called.

    Yes, that's right. I'm sorry, I thought you were from out of town.

    Nice town, I've been there once and my wife went to school there.
    Yeah, ridiculous that they have the same blackouts for that area.

    hadn't seen anything news related, but when I was channel surfing I noticed that FX was back in the programming guide, so then I went up to channel 416 (FOX Sports Southwest for Dish Network) and it is there; so I guess they finally made an agreement.

    Was FX gone for a while on Dish Network?

    I really do hope this means the games will be shown
