:mad: Hello all. I am interested in getting Dish Network, primarily due to the recent inclusion of the Voom package.
However, I am a little disappointed about the availability of sports. You see, I live in Philadelphia, but am originally from New York. Ideally, I would like to get MSG network, Fox sports New york etc... However, when I call the representative at Dish Network, I am told I cannot get any regional sports at all. Is this because Comcast has some sort of monopoly? Can anyone enlighten me on the situation?

I am in the Midwest, I paid an Extra $5.99 a month for the "Multi-Sport" package which includes MSG, see the link below.
