Cable or satellite customer? Outdoor Channel a la carte

[Marshal Halloway]

During my days in Louisville (NRA Convention), I spent some of my breaks at the Outdoor Channel booth listening to comments from viewers and potential viewers.

I noticed that a good portion of the comments was about satellite providers and how viewers had to upgrade (buy channel packages)  to get the Outdoor Channel. None of them knew about the fact that they DON'T have to buy an extra package to view their favorite hunting and shooting shows.

The satellite providers are hiding this fact (for obvious reasons).

So... let me share the same info here:

Outdoor Channel is available nationwide on DISH Network.

    * You can add Outdoor Channel to any existing program package for $1.99 per month. You will need to specifically request Outdoor Channel "a la carte" for $1.99 a month by calling 1-800-333-3474 and speaking to a representative.

I had The Outdoor Channel added a la carte when i switched from Cable to DirecTV about 7 Mo. ago.

Had to fight my way thru 3 alleged telephone "Supervisors" to get it without upgrading to a more expensive package.

+1 on that - although I only went to 2 layers, and the mope refused to answer my question why the first guy refused to hook me up. A major pain. Satellite companies are becoming as bad as the cable thugs.

I've had OC for quite a while.  They are presently revamping their channel line-up!  Imagine my surprise when I turn on the TV and try to view OC and it's tagged as a pay upgrade (which I'm already paying for!!!!!).  One nasty call later and it is all taken care of but I shouldn't have had to make that call.

If the OC is dropping it's night at the range lineup,  I will be dropping them like a bad transmission.  I currently pay extra for the channel so I can enjoy this programming.

Wednesday Night at the Range will remain with lineups relating to guns and shooting sports.

I have Comcast and don't get the Outdoor Channel on cable.  I would have to upgrade to the highest tier in order to get it and simply can't afford to do that.  I would drop Comcast allogether if it wasn't for the fact that it is the only practical option I have for high speed internet.  If I drop the cable TV and only go with the internet, my internet charges go up dramatically to nearly the price of TV and internet combined.  The Comcast Crooks keep moving popular channels to the highest tier and either don't replace them or give you the Golf channel which they own.  Comcast's commercials say how much better than satelite their reception is which is crap.  Poor quality often.  Every time I get poor reception I call and demand a credit on my bill which I get, but have to probably spend more time on the phone to them than what it is worth.

I've had DISH Network for almost 10 years. I think we were one of the origonal customers in this area. When the Outdoor Channel came along, with the Outdoor Life Network, it was $1.99. I've been hooked ever since. I'm sure the OC will maintain it's shooting/firearms programming.

Anybody know if Time Warner Cable will provide it separate from a "Sports Package?" What I was told a couple months ago when I asked for it is I had to upgrade to the sports package for $9.99 More a month.
