I've had better luck with waether-caused outages since I switched to HD although they say HD is more prone to weather outages. Then again, I do have the two NORAD Missile Defense dishes needed for Hawaii due to being on the fringes of the signal footprint...

That's what I meant..don't know why I said DISH. I liked going to the local sports bar last year but not for every single game that's on the BTN.

After reading the Spring Practice/Game thread, I had thought that the topics were flip-flopped and this thread might be the place to get updates on Spring Practice, but I guess I was wrong.

FWIW - DISH blamed BTN when I called to complain.  |
Yep, Dish has pulled a fast one. They put it on their basic plans but then yanked it this year and put it on the $5.99 sports tier. I thought that is what all the hubbub is about with TW? Not only that, but you can't just have the Top 100 one, you have to have the Top 100 Plus to get the BTN. That is $10 more.

Precisely. TW wanted to do exactly what DISH apparently has done and BTN said it must be on basic. |
