    Supposedly NJ Devils insisted on satellite to renew with MSG. Which I'd why D* has it.
  3. General DISH™ Discussion
    You can get every yankee game, if your tv provider has MLB extra innings. Directv has all the MLB EI games in HD. You can get every Yankee and Mariner Game in HD. I sub to it and it is great. I used to get it on E* but E* dropped Coverage. Something to definitely consider for 2010. E* has very...

    D* has MSG HD for local broadcasts. I live in NJ and get it as one of RSNs. Last year MSG HD was on center ice.
  5. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    No you would get less HD ice hockey with E*. D* has more HD center Ice hockey than E*. I sub to both E* and D* and have had center ice with both. E does not have MSG HD, so no rangers, devils, islanders or sabres HD. Also, E* did not air all available HD games in prior years. No versus on D*...
  6. General DISH™ Discussion
    Only way to get all the games is too have D* and least one tekco or cable company.
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    Agreed that all these things affect small percentages of subscriber base. But all the niches Add up. In my opinion, the difference in net sub gain between D* and. E* over the past Year has been greatly affected by E*'s lack of niches and D*'s dominance of niches. When D* acquired MLBEI, it made...

    E* had a net sub gain of 26,000 for its first net gain in five Quarters. Good to see E* back in the black. The loss of Voom and HD RSNs is in the past. The modest gain may Reflect no MLB Network. Anyway, the following chart Shows an industry trend that cable continues to lose Market share...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    D* is number 2 in us behind comcast. E* had been 3 and TWC 4.
  10. General DISH™ Discussion
    Both E* and Comcast advertise that They have more HD than anyone. And both E* and Comcast are the Leaders in net negative sub additions. Both companies are bleeding subs and Losing market share. I sub to Verizon And D* as well as E* and Comcast and Verizon is the clear winner in HD with D*...

    The ownership interest was the original deal with D* and MLB. After the outcry about D* exclusivity, cable was let in. E* was Made an offer but did not like the terms (not the same offer D* had.) New mvps to mlbn do not get an ownership.
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    That was the original deal. In demand open to all mvps. Ei on in demand is inferior to D*. Only one HD channel. No HD game mix.
  13. General DISH™ Discussion
    Available to whoever negotiates for it. E* has been Down that road. In demand had to give EI to Verizon which is providing EI, EI HD, MLBN and MLBN HD. Not debating this. It is available to E*. Charlie's comment Was we do not want to burden all of the subs. Not they Will not give it to us. EI...
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    Don't forget MSG and MSG II HD with the Rainbow channels. I would have never signed with D* except for those channels.

    1. D* 460 2. Verizon 299 3. ATT 284 4. Time Warner 36 5. Charter -22 6. Cablevision -23 7. Comcast -78 8. E* -94 E* has joined Comcast in the diminishing returns club. The only revenue growth is rate increases. But can't Raise rates and keep subs. So why is E* at the bottom of the list? 1. In...
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    XCan't get EI without MLBN. Enuff said about this. E* can get It now. Don't have to wait five years.
  17. General DISH™ Discussion
    I watch MLB network every day in HD on either Verizon or D*. It is my go to channel when I turn the tv on. 2009 1st Q sub additìons D* 460, Verizon 299. How is E* going To do today when numbers are released? MLB is available to E*. E* has to be proactive and cut a deal with In Demand.
  18. General DISH™ Discussion
    Verizon just added mlb hd tonight. I am watching mexico south africa live right Now. 3-2 mexico. Good game. The Verizon HD is outstanding. Noticeably sharper than D*.
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    MLB is a great channel. Since launch, it is the first thing I turn to. No point watching ESPN any more. I am sure ESPN's ratings have Taken a hit. I have mlb hd on D*. HD makes a huge difference. Also have mlb sd on Verizon. Comcast has the sd version but not available on my limited Basic...
