Schenley Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 According to MSG's Overflow listing, the game should be on Channel 449 on Dish. That channel is a no show... I just called Dish Network and was on the phone for 35 minutes with some idiot who kept apologizing. He had me trying all these channels that I knew weren't going to work. Can anyone else with Dish Network see the game tonight? Or, is it just me that's f'ed? This is annoying! I pay for Center Ice and for all the regional sports channels. I can watch 12 other games except the one I want to watch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schenley Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 OK, I was just going to live with this, since I go to most of the games anyway... However, tomorrow's game (Marty's return) is on Overflow... Wouldn't ya know? I've been back and forth with both Dish and MSG and neither of them can tell me why I cannot watch any overflow games. Does anyone else have this problem? Bueller? According to MSG's Overflow listing, the game should be on Channel 449 on Dish. That channel is a no show...I just called Dish Network and was on the phone for 35 minutes with some idiot who kept apologizing. He had me trying all these channels that I knew weren't going to work.

RowdyFan42 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 According to Dish's website, the generic alternates (i.e. aren't dedicated to a specific network) are 444 through 448. I don't have Dish myself so I can't really help you beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Sometimes overflow channels don't "show up" until games start. For example the overflow on my Comcast will not be listed in the TV listing but when game starts the game will be on that channel instead of whatever is listed. I'd just go check out the channel at game time and it'll probably be there if it's listed as the overflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they should be in the 440 range, and I know they sometimes don't show up until game time. I wasted 45 minutes of my life with a spastic Dish Network "tech support" rep during a game back in November trying all kinds of different channels. What happens is that I put in 449 (for example), and it goes to the next highest channel number (454 if I remember correctly). There is no blackout warning or "check back" message.

Devils731 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Is there a scan or add channel option on Dish? I know on cable I can add a channel manually, even if there is nothing on it, and just watch the static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
