My Dish Network has an Obama channel

[NewJeffCT]

Channel 73 on my Dish Network is listed as "Obama" and has from 12-8 today Obama discussing his economic plan. Shades of Ross Perot buying time in 1992?

I searched DU for the last 3 days and couldn't find it, so I posted it here for people.

1. Proof ---- The Media is 150% in the tank for Obama

Do you really need the Sarcasm Sign???


For the Benefit of our freeper friends


:sarcasm:

[NewJeffCT]

2. Yes, because he probably bought the time with his own

campaign money - he's obviously a socialist, too.

5. shewie, DTV is freeperville

i know cause i have it as well....


ever checked out what channels are number 1 on the screen that shows what people are watching?

fox news is almost ALWAYS at the top ...

10. Direct TV is owned by Rupert Murdoch

Dish Network has George Soros as an investor.

12. Oh so another reason to keep Dish Network

I have had so many people telling how much DTV was better than Dish for... no reason at all, except the fact they have it, therefore it is better than what I have.

Except... Dish had a free DVR offer.

15. in my area Dish is cheaper than Direct TV and cable.

And we got a better dvr than the cable company offered--has 100 hours of memory instead of 30. I'm sticking with it.

4. I'm waiting for the Sarah Palin Channel.

But I'm not sure why.

6. We'll have to settle for Comedy Central. n/t

8. Crap! You beat me by half a minute. *pouts*

[NewJeffCT]

13. still, it was a great response by both of you

good job.

[Blondiegrrl]

7. She has one. It's called Comedy Central.

:evilgrin:

[morillon]

9. Just be sure to watch it with the sound off. :-P n/t

[AzNick]

11. Yes, I have it too

That is very fun to watch.

Too bad it's not in HD....

[ginnyinWI]

14. I've got it too! Thanks for the heads-up.

It looks like it is cycling the same material every eight hours, like 11a.m.-7 p.m. central time today. :)

16. I believe....and it has been discussed many times among dems...

...that the only way a dem can get their message out is if they have their own network. A while back, wasn't Al Gore going to get a network?

Anyway, I guess that answers the question of why we have to pay for signs and bumperstickers. I still have stacks from the Kerry campaign, that were given out liberally.

17. i SAW that! My power has been out for the past three weeks

because of Hurricane Ike-

It FINALLY came back on yesterday, and i saw the Obama channel-

the only problem? My DVR receiver is taking FOREVER to re-program, and as of this morning, I can only get local channels-

Hopefully it'll be bug-free when I get home today...

OK that was more info than you needed, but there it is lol
