Dish Network to add....

[IndyIRLman]

I called Dish Network today and they told me they are adding Speedvision to there top 100 package in Mid February. In case anyone is interested.

Speedvision will be gone (re-labeled to The Speed Channel) by then. As a matter of fact I think it was to happen today.

I would assume you will be getting "The Speed Channel".

[IndyIRLman]

Ok. Thanks for the info. Just wanted to let anyone who has dish network to know they don't have to buy the 150 package.

Cool!

Thanks for the info.

Maybe I will get to see some Cart and F1 races this year on TV!

It was bad enough that Dish doesn't carry the NFL Sunday Ticket, but now they've dropped ESPN Classic.

Forget Dish Network. Buy Direct TV.

Now DirectTV's local package includes Channel 4 (in Indy), Dish Network's doesn't.

:mad:

Hasn't DirectTV been acquired by the Dish folks, who outbid uncle Rupert, from the Hughes Corporation (not the cheesy 70's band who did 'Rock the Boat'), a subsidiary of General Motors?

If so, bend over and grab your ankles. This could be worse than what happened last April.

Speed xxx on Dish? Like it'd matter.

Dish Network has supposedly been buying DirectTV forever. I have no idea of the current status or when they would merge their packages (so to speak).

Well I hope they did because I would really like to be able to get some of the sport packages that DirecTV offers.

If I had the opportunity to do it over I would NEVER purchase Dish Network. They've been lying to me about Speedvision for 5 years ! :mad:

Huh? They've only had Speedvision 2 years.

The deal between Echostar and Direct tv still hasn't happened and hopefully the Fed's won't let it happen. I would be one of those "rural customers" with only one choice and you can bet that without competition the consumer would lose big time. :mad:

trevor....When I purchased Dish Network over 5 years ago it was because they had promised to add Speedvision "in a few months".
