DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

[coltrane679]

You are right they are going to pay in that litigation. One way they will pay is by putting AMC/IFC/WE/Sundance back on again. All that remains to be determined is what amount of cash has to go along with that reinstatement. All the rest has been posturing. That is how big boys litigate.

I called today to switch to Direct so my wife could watch walking dead and was happy with the dish counter offer: roku, 10/mo discount for a year, and 3 months of all premium and multisport to match the direct offer. With that discount dish comes in at the same 2 yr price as DTV and DTV gets way more expensive after that. Wife gets her show commercial free with roku. I still want bein sport hd, though.

I called Dish today about TWD and they gave me another $35 credit for my Roku box (Just like with Breaking Bad). CSR also gave me my multi-sports pack for half price for the next 6 months. I don't want to switch because I love my hopper, and Dish is making it easy to stay.

1st or 2nd roku?

1st or 2nd roku?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I only have 1 Roku. They gave me a $35 credit on my bill ... the idea being that I can go pay for a season of TWD on Amazon and play it on my Roku box. They gave me the Roku during the Breaking Bad premiere.

edit: Doh, almost as soon as I hit Post I realized you maybe meant 1st or 2nd generation Roku. It is a Roku 2 XD

For anyone with a Roku, Vudu is now available on it and I strongly recommend using it to watch the Walking Dead, the HD picture is so much better then Amazons, full 1080P vs. Amazon's 720P for the same price, also DD+ for the sound, I believe Amazon is just DD or at best Pro Logic.
