WTH? I've been flipping thru the "Program Guide" looking for the Superbowl and I can't find it.

ESPN and ESPN2 aren't mentioning anything about "We'll show the game at XXX time" or anything.

What freakin' channel is it on?

Unless you have local channels on your dish you are gonna have to buy an antenna and view it w/ analog tv.

Where do you find your local channels? ABC/CBS/Fox? Find those and you'll find your Superbowl.

Channel 88/89 is Fox High Definition, Channel 388/389 is regular Fox (East/West NewYork, LA).

Well, I just changed my package to Total Choice with local channels. Hopefully I don't incur a $99.99 service fee. :roll:

Bwaha...reminds me of an episode of...King of Queens.. Doug goes to a TV store 'Yeah, this high-definition TV is real nice...say, if I needed to return it, that wouldn't be too hard, right?' Store owner 'Why, you're not renting it for the Superbowl, are you?'

:D

ON the website, after you make the change it tells you "The change will take place within the next few minutes." That was 15 mins ago. WTF?

I remember long time ago I think you had to have your phone cord connected to the receiver?
