Satellite wo's 

Post#1 » by Solid » Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:00 pm

I live in southern Indiana and have Dish Network (whom I detest btw) and get none of the games.

$30 package and 'free" instalation cost me @ $250 in fees and $60 per mo.

Top 120 I think it's called.

Anyone have DISH and know what's best way to add FSI?

Do I get FSM and hope that it's on there? Is THAT even possible with DISH ?

Do I need to go Direct TV?
They promise FSM at least (but not FSI) The package is about $60 this year and about $100 later and I'm afraid their "free" switch will cost me a couple hundred (like the theives at the afore-mentioned company). If I do that and still do not have it I'd be steamed.

Please advise.

I prefer watching it online via League Pass Broadband. You get all the games except the ones on national TV (NBA TV is also cheaper) and the games are also archived so if you miss them, you can watch them later. Of course, you'll want good internet to get the most out of it. Supposedly they're adding some really hi-def streaming this season.

Nothing on my dish net program guide says fsm, fs,i or pacers. Called them and service "expert" couldn't find it either.

I have capped internet at 60 bucks and a nickle per mb over. adds up quick. I ferequenly pay 80 - 100 and couldn't even concider whole movies or games.

The price of living in a small village.
Five miles away I could get cable everything. I can't even get DSL here.

Got hold of a different rep at Dish.
Added a sports package for bout 6 bucks per.
It has FSM but they can't find Monday's game on the schedule for my zip code.
I'll just have to wait and see how many games the pull off of FSIHD for my area.
Hopefully most of them.

Return to Indiana Pacers
