DISH / MASN Issues










I sent the following to DISH Network this morning.
What is going on with your programming? Regarding soccer (where every place else but here, it ranks supreme):

MASN used to cover all DC United games. That seems to be a wash now. (I realize this has nothing to do w. DISH. Just showing an increasing problem.)
You took away GOL TV.

You now have the option for SETA... but you gotta pay even more.

This one really hurt though:

USA vs El Salvador I had trouble finding that ESPN was even covering it.

Finally found it by accident on ESPN, but the on screen guide had it listed as other stuff, including some Strong Man competition!

At the half I was too tired to watch remaining and hit the record button to catch the rest this morning.

OH YEAH!....Apparently the strong man competition was scheduled to end at the same point in the game where USA just equalized, and about 2 minutes of regular time remained...

Meaning the entire end of the event went unrecorded.

Heck, even my wife blew a gaskit, and she's not a big soccer fan.

I just want it known that I'm extremely disappointed in DISH, and if I had much of an alternate choice, I'd probably drop the service.

Shoot me a free season of Direct Kick or something here. How about a free SETA subscription? Something.

Thanks for your attention to my gripes.

On The This Pic


This is no fake pic.... I wonder how many people can pull this one off...

Laying under a crop of sweet weedness while a NARC-copter flies across overhead.

Oh yes... completely verified and very much real.
I took the pic after locating this hidden field, and had the copter do 3 fly-overs to get the right pic. This seemed to be the best one.


The public sucks!!!

Just thought I'd mention that because I CAN!!! My fuckin' blog! PISS OFF!

WHOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note: This was originally one of the first posts to the new Darkgarden site, and was the original title photo. After changing said title photo, this blog ... made even less sense than it does now. Soooo.. I added the pic to the blog, and added the history of it. Who cares though?! I don't... but I'm'a put this descriptive in anyway. See the aforementioned Piss Off reference.

Ahh.. OH!.. OHHH!!! .... Shwweeeooo!

Darkgarden lives!
