HRTV vs TVG

[Danzig]

every time we go into best buy, here comes the directv guy....do you have cable? same reaction, regardless of store. hand goes up...i have dish, i'm not changing.

hrtv and tvg is available on dish in the most basic package with no contract. Just dont get the hopper....its a joke

already have the hopper. no issues with it.

well, except about a month after they put the new dish in, we had a huge tree limb fall..wiped out the dish, another tree....was a massive oak limb. filled a trailer for firewood when we cut it up.

I'm pretty sure that TVG is standard with cable and HRTV is part of the "Sports Entertainment Package" for an additional $9 per month. Sports package includes several other channels like NFL Red Zone, ESPN Goal Line, Pac12 ntwrk, etc

Comcast offers both channels in some areas, and only TVG in others. Here in Philly it's only TVG and you need to pay the $9 a month for the upgraded package to get it.

I actually miss the old Philly Park Phonebet channel circa 2004 when they showed every major track and replays during the overnight hours. They eventually lost the rights to carry NYRA on the channel in 2005, but still carried everything else.
