PTS Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 What do you need to get Sabres games on Dish Network? Should it come with any of the basic packages or do you need Center Ice. And living in Buffalo, will I get blacked out of games at times?

Taro T Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 That's weird because I don't see MSG anywhere on my channel guide, nor do I see it in the channels that I'm not subscribed to. 463239[/snapback] It's my understanding that it is just the Sabres games and pre/post game shows that were picked up by Dish. Your best bet would be to check programming guide on Wednesday to see what channel the game will be shown on. I'm dealing with the opposite problem currently. I have DirecTV which gets MSG, but DirecTV and MSG haven't negotiated a deal for the Sabres games back feeds. So I get MSG, but no Sabres as of yet. Dave.

Alaska Darin Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Huh? Dave. 464509[/snapback] Dish Network has a phone number. Answers to these questions are literally 10 digits away.
theesir Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Dish Network has a phone number. Answers to these questions are literally 10 digits away. 464730[/snapback] A number of us have contacted MSG, DirectTv, the Sabres (and I'm sure some Dish Network) only receive responses such as "I don't know what you're talking about (direcTv), Theres nothing we can do (MSG) or my favorite, from the Buffalo Sabres themselves "We have no say in it!!!"""

You'd feel the same way after you had to argue West Seneca, NY is in fact in Buffalo and not Pittsburgh, PA like they think.

I spent two hours yelling at people from Best Buy because they wouldn't take my money. Then I wrote a very nasty letter to the Board and in the mail I got a $500 gift card. Make it into a sport. It's fun!

However, I did do that with Wells Fargo (after they screwed up paying my property taxes), and ended up getting $100. Should've asked for more... CW
