Bbaddict | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 09:33 pm     I had this problem once before and found a poster that could help that also had Dish Network. The programming was Entertainment tonight @ 7:00, Millionaire @ 7:30, Big Brother @ 8:00, and Latin grammys @ 9:00. Well it was wrong we had E.T then Millionaire then a pre grammy show then the Grammy show @ 9:00 till 11:00. They never even aired the show. Last time this happened it was on after the 11:00 news. Anyone that knows whats going on could you please help me! I am feeling desperate! I can't be the only one with Dish Network. I dident post this on the thread titled "Check your programming" because I did not know if that one other person in the world with Dish Network would see it there. |
Loriwillwin | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 09:43 pm     Are you from L.A.? "Big Brother" aired at 8 PM tonight on KCAL-Channel 9. On last Saturday's show, they ran little subheadings throughout the show announcing the time and channel change that would happen tonight in the Southern California area. I'm wise to their tricks and always read those now! You didn't miss too much: just Amy barfing during a pretty non-descript cruise (the only "scenery" was a couple of baby seals) and Jason flirting with Lisa in the kitchen. Tomorrow night: "Big Brother" is on CBS-2 at 9:00 PM, immediately following "SURVIVOR"!!! |
Bbaddict | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 10:02 pm     Thanks Loriwillwin, Our program guide said it would be on at 8:00.We had a Latin grammy pre-show then the real show. I hate it when I am recording something and they mess with the programming. So if anyone else is recording it I'll pay them for the "lost' episodes if they want to make a copy for me. I noticed the sub-headings you were speaking of too so I started checking to see if it was on as early as 7:00. When they did not air it at 8:00 as stated I called Dish Network and they said they will not EVER be airing tonights show NEVER I was devastated. I told him I want the # to someone I can complain to. They cant do that to me, ( and the one other person with Dish Network) |
Mystery | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 10:26 pm     We have Dish but we get east coast CBS, ABC etc. as well as San Francisco CBS, ABC etc. so we haven't missed anything yet. |
Silversamba | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 10:42 pm     It isn't Dish(I have Dish, too) but the local station. Local stations can substitute shows at times instead of airing network shows. |
Bbaddict | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 10:43 pm     I guess I need to change my West coast to East coast network channels. Do they really care about BB more back east then here? Kidding! |
Max | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 10:53 pm     I have Dish Network and got BB at 8:00 - no pre-awards show. That must have been a choice of your local CBS affiliate. I'm in Portland, OR. Wish I could get the east-coast feeds, but the rules are that if there is a local station, then the package of local channels you get through Dish serves them and you can't get the other feeds. At least, that's my understanding. Check the website for your local CBS affiliate. I bet they are showing tonights BB at some strange hour. Bummer. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 04:34 am     I have a dish and on the east coast. I get the NY and LA networks. I can catch any network show three hours later when it is shown in LA if it is preempted in NY. Can the west coast subscribe to the east coast networks too? |
Silversamba | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 05:57 am     Usually, if you live in a city which Dish(or other sat co.) has local channels to offer, you get your local channels. If your local channels are not available, you can get the national network affiliates. I live in Texas in a city where Dish offers local stations, so I get them and not the national feeds. |
Nean72 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 06:23 am     Hello all- My husband and I own a Dish Network store for the last 7 years, so I know a lot about what happens with certain programming. Most of the time it is the local affiliate that changes the times and pre-empts the show to a later time. ( someone mentioned that above) Second, If you live in a certain area that does not receive local channels from your city you are able to order the east or west coast feeds with a waiver. (you can get that from Dish Network) Some people are grandfathered in from years ago when local channels were not available to get the e/w feeds from NY and LA. You can certainly try and call Dish Network and try to get a local affliate from a different city if you qualify. Hope this helps... |
