Dish Network Subscribers

Mostly an FYI.

 

I noticed last night that channel 386 is now FOXN HD. I checked the schedule for the week and saw they had a Twins game coming up over the weekend that will be in HD. Hopefully they'll broadcast the Brewer HD games there as well.

 

This was probably in the information I get every month and never bother to read about the upcoming changes. I figured some of you missed it as well so I thought I'd drop a note here.

Hey is there any way the "throbbing brain" at Brewerfan.net can get an internet petition going and get dish network to give people in Wisconsin Fox Sports Wisconsin, and not the Minnesota feed?

I noticed that the other day.. it seems to be labeled as Fox Sports North. I believe Fox uses "Fox Sports North" as a general category that includes both the Minnesota and Wisconsin units, but I would not be surprised to find that only the Twins HD games show up on channel 386.

Another question: anyone know if Big Ten Network will be on Dish?

[TheCrew07]

The programming schedule was blank in every time block except for the game on Saturday(I think that's when it was), so it doesn't look like anything other than the HD games will be there. I was sort of disappointed, I was hoping for an ESPN type thing where you have the regular EPSN and then ESPNHD side by side.

 

edit. As far as the Big Ten network goes, I would think it would be, I don't see them letting Direct TV get over on them again. I'm counting on it at any rate, but I should really start reading the information they send out.

 

Looking at the Big Ten Network's site, Dish still hasn't signed up. You can enter you zip code and it sends a request to Dish Network which I did. Link to the main page below.

We're getting Dish Network installed today and i noticed that they only carry FSN North. Now will Brewers games get bumped by Twins games or is it just an HD issue where only Twins games are in HD?

[TheCrew07]

It's the Minnesota FSN... the Brewer games will be on the Alternate Sport Channels, which start at 444 and go through 456 I think. Usually I look about half an hour before the start of the game to see what alternate channel it's on. The feed starts for the pregame show and ends after the post game.

Channel 386 is carrying both Twins and Brewers HD broadcasts! I was able to watch both the Friday and Sunday games in HD!

I have the dish and get the 'Crew on 642. It is nice to have the Twins (641) too. Not a fan but do see some AL teams this way. Other then that, I dislike FSN-North.

If you live in MN do you get both as well? Anybody in the cities have experience with Dish and get the Brewers feed without buying an upgraded package, or do only WI folks get so lucky?

I caught yesterday's game on 386 as well, my second Brewer game in HD! I probably sound like a geek, but I was pretty pleased with things.
