Don't get blacked out for the ESPN games.. and get 13 FSN channels from other cities. I've had nothing but good luck with them. And their CS has never been rude to me. I've only missed 3 games that were on the U. Not that big of a deal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only missed 3 games that were on the U. Not that big of a deal.. It's weird. I live in this apartment complex who cable company is different from everyone else here in Burbank. But the thing we get is Dish Network, but billed by "Castle Cable" and this Dish Network that we have sucks ass. No baseball package offered at all. It's gone out completely 3 times, and we've only lived here since February. We have 2 recievers, and one get's more channels than the other one. The on-screen guide only let's you see what's on TV for the next hour. With our old cable company's guide you could see what's on days in the future, and they had kick ass customer service and a baseball package. I'm almost positive that we have some ghetto ass version of it, because I've seen commercials for Dish Network, and they talk about how to order a Pay Per View or use the interactive guide etc. and the graphics and layout look completely different than the one's on our version. It's f***ed up, that's all I have to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's f***ed up, that's all I have to say about it. Was it set up by the apartment owners, or does each unit have an individual account? My girlfriend lives in a condo in Bridgeview and has her own account with no issues.. but our other friend right down the stree in Justice has it also (installed by the apartment complex but they pay the bill) and she has some of the issues you posted. Seems the owners took it upon themselves to regulate the programming. There's a class action lawsuit going on right now against the management company (they own 8 or 9 buildings in Justice and Hickory Hills) regarding it. Maybe check into that..?

RibbieRubarb Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 My Buddy, that I have season tickets with, has the same problem with Dish Network. He finally broke down and bought an antennae to see the WCIU games. It was that or walk a few blocks down to the local watering hole to watch the games. It always seems we don't have tickets for the game on the U. We went yesterday and we're going tomorrow. I keep telling him to get Direct TV or Digital Cable.

It's f***ed up, that's all I have to say about it. You've got a bunk-ass version. I have DISH Network, and I have the sports package that gives all the FSN channels and some others. The problem with that is that it blacks out all the MLB, NBA, and NHL games. I have no idea why they don't have a baseball package. They have NFL, NBA, NHL, cricket, MLS, CFB, and CBB.

The DISH website says that all of them are supposed to be blackedout. I guess you're just lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Well I have to deal with Steve Physioc and Rex Hudler calling my Sox game. They're not horrible, but they get really annoying, real quick. It usually only takes me a couple inning before I mute them and put on some music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 THATS why i never see the sox games on at the casino sports books.... Just ask them to put it on, they will. Only three to four times a month is a game not on because of WCIU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
