Beating a dead horse, with a Spanish twist My experience for 2012: FACTS: 1] DISH LATINO MAX subscriber (this is top tier for DISH in Spanish) 2] DISH offers MLS DIRECT KICK 3] DISH offers ESPN, ESPN2, ESPND (Spanish) 4] DISH offers Univision, Unimas, Univision Deportes, Telefutura, Telemundo, Fox, FSC (now FS1) I am a happy customer, I can view all of the FCD away games, and can record home games if I want My experience for 2013: FACTS 1 - 4 are still true: ...and.... 5] DISH offers NBCSN 6] DISH offers BeIn sports I think I will be a happy camper...BUT....then comes the fine print MLS Direct Kick will BLACK OUT ALL FCD games (home or away) that are shown by TWCSC (channel not available on DISH) - I'm NOT happy, this is all announced after the package has already been bought - grrr No NBCSN available to DISH LATINO subscribers. (That's right, DISH only allows ENGLISH DISH subscriptions to purchase the NBCSN channel...But you can add it by switching to the top-tier english package which also includes all the add-on movie packages and you will still get some of the local over the air Spanish channels) Now I am angry (channeling Marvin the Martian) So, to recap - I have been able to watch/record only 7 of 32 FCD games (those shown on ESPN/UNI family of channels, or TXA21) thank goodness I could still watch all of my favorite former FCD players on their current teams! (NER - Toja, DCU - Saragosa, Ruiz, NYRB - Dax, Hartman, Alexander, Pearce, COL - Moor, Harris, Wallace, SEA - EJ, SJE - Chavez, Goodson, CHIVAS - Avila, TFC - Wiedeman, plus Kries, Pareja, Cassar, Dir)
Aside from the FCD fiasco, I still have a nit with Dish for not carrying GolTV. Curious how which SH recruits are now playing for other MLS teams ?
