And for those of you have just have joined in...Mike has been spewing his malcontent predictions for pretty much the whole day without any credence than his own bias. He is trying to stir us up. Don't let him.

KAB the only one around here embarrassing himself is YOU! There is no reason why I can not converse on this website and express my opinion just like anyone else. When you run your own website you can practice as moderator. You could give old James Long of DBSTALK fame a run for his money ,except you don't have a moderator slot on this forum. THANK GOD!

I will add you to my ignore list because I think you have expressed enough of your view points today. And as my old mother used to say : You don't have to say everything out loud, just just because you think it.

I'm not sure I understand the criticism of dish here. If you have a contract with someone and you believe they've broken it, you take them to court. Should you just let people not hold up their side of deals because you've already been involved in X suits in the past Y days/months/years and you don't want to be seen as lawsuit happy?

Because some here have to bash Dish (Charlie) anytime they can even when there is no call for it. I would say Dish has won out most battles in the end, be in Court or not providing programming if they felt they were being charged too much. (Lost distant's issue in court, yet won in Court in the end with AAD - actually being in a better position)
And it appears they could be about to make very good headway again in the Tivo battle.

Plenty of things to complain about Dish, this is not one of them.

Maybe we should get a sticky thread with all of Dish's lawsuits, and their status.

This sounds mostly like it's time for companies to give E* the same deal as everyone else. The amount is chump change for both Disney & E*.

And the sticky with each of the cable company's (especially Comcast--even harder hardball than Dish) and Direct TV lawsuits would show each company to have about equal to more lawsuits than Dish. Oh, and they lose suits, too. Direct TV sued Lifetime Networks for the same reason when Charlie got a better deal than Direct.

Well, Direct TV sued Lifetime Networks for the same reason after Charlie dumped their channels than got a better deal than Direct TV. All these cable companies and Dish and Direct, etc., they all sue, and so do the media companies sue Dish, Direct, cable, et al. The perception is that Dish is more litigious, and this is promoted by the media. However, Dish is no worse than any of the other companies. Now, if you really want to see hardball and litigious, start examining Comcast. They make Charlie look like a wimp.
