Any Satellite Dish users out there who get C-SPAN 1, C-SPAN 2 AND C-SPAN 3??

[in_cog_ni_to]

We're thinking about getting a satellite dish, but I don't want to IF I can't get all 3 C-SPAN channels. Our Comcast cable company is going to be adding C-Span 3 to our lineup and I will not sacrifice that channel...I've waited too long for it. Are there any Satellite dish companies that carry all three C-SPAN channels??? I looked at Dish Network and Direct TV and didn't see C-SPAN 3 on their programming lists.

3. I Have A DISH And Only Get 1 & 2... Been Thinking About Writing

DISH for C-Span 3 though! I do like DISH a lot, but wish we DID have C-Span 3. I catch on my PC, but it's not the same.

4. We had Direct TV but left

for Verizon Fios when they put it in this area. We finally get all 3

5. I had directv until it was sold - there was no 3 before

murdoch so I doubt there is 3 now.

7. Thanks everyone.

:hi: That's what I was afraid of. I guess we'll stay with cable then...unless there's another dish company I don't know about that carries SPAN 3.

8. I have been raising hell with Comcast in the DC area because...

my C-Span2 has been overtaken by the Nationals baseball game on Sundays and every other day that they have a ballgame! It all has to do with a suit with the Nationals that Comcast has to show the baseball game on C-Span2 in the DC area because of losing a lawsuit! I've been so pissed about this!
I turned on my C-Span2 on channel 77 and had a damn baseball game on! I couldn't believe it! I called them up and C-Span as well, as have been raising holy hell since then to get my C-Span2 back!


An agreement with Comcast and C-Span will supply the cable boxes needed to receive all the C-Span channels (1, 2 and 3) in the DC area with the cost being about .25 cents per cable box! I will be calling them tomorrow to deliver my cable boxes with my HDTV, since I just today bought a TV with HD on it!

All of you in the DC area, be aware that you can get the cable boxes able to receive all the C-Span channels for around .25 cents per box!


Of course, Comcast is not telling you anything about it! C-Span is the one to call to get the info!!!
