I thought this was the game we get Romo back after halftime? People are going to definitely miss out if they own Dish.

I seem to remember these kind of disputes happened regularly about a decade ago. IIRC, most were settled before gametime, but occasionally they couldn't reconcile and you'd miss the game

This year it wouldn't be the worst to be forced to miss a cowboys game as much as it pains me to say it

Anybody with Dish notice their bill go up recently? Curious what this "tax" is. I know a lot of NFL Ticket subscribers cancelled.

Its called an antenna. You might need to look it up.

 

[Idgit]

Serves you right for being Dish customers in the first place.

Easy solution. Buy an antenna for $10 bucks, and tell Dish to reimburse you for the cost.

Just go out and buy an HD antenna and plug it into your tv. The picture is surprisingly clear. I did that a couple years ago when running cable wires wasn't feasible into an upstairs loft and before wireless cable was available.

As long as you are within reasonable range and sight line of the local station's transmitter/antenna, you will get a far better signal than you would with cable or satellite. No grooming is done on that signal.

Stick a digital antenna on your flat screen TV and get the game over the air. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, you should be able to get the CBS broadcast.
