getting a certain channel (8835)

[Mucka]

channel 8835 comes out of florida. they show miami dolphins games. my roommate would appreciate it if i could get that channel to come in. we already get 8834, another florida, but not 8835. i've tried scanning a few different times. does anyone have any ideas for me? thanks

dn has to have a contract with local tv stations to broadcast their programming and i don't think they do with that particular station because i have a cousin in miami and can't get itthrough subscription to dn and locals

Have you tried setting Florida as your local viewing area and then specific area or city where games are played?

i'm in california here, so i don't think it would pick up local channels, would it? either way, thanks for the quick responses. no big deal, it's just the last preseason game.

Local channels can be set to anywhere you want, BigE in the above post says dish may not carry that station but you can go into your menu, user options and see what you can get in Fla.
You can also see who their playing and go to their local area and pick up the game that way.

just looked on lynsat and the footprint for that channel is just over south florida so if you are not there you can't get it
don't know why my cousin can't unless she's just a dumb a$$

What's the stations call letters that will show game?

[Mucka]

well, it's a dolphins/saints game and it's only preseason so i only checked miami and new orleans. doubt it would be showed in many other markets. not a big deal though
