I would be very interested in a bundle with unlimited data...or a family plan with a pool of data that could be shared.

Every ESPN Gameplan game I've seen with DirecTV and Time Warner has been SD only also...I wouldn't blame Dish on this one.

That makes sense. I should clarify my last post and mention that I canceled the TV service but still have and like the U-Verse internet service.

I had U-Verse service for 1 month in my home and was able to compare their DVR and service side-by-side with Dish for that time. After the month was over I decided that the channel selection, price, and especially the DVR was superior with Dish so I canceled the U-Verse TV service. I kept the...

I have U-Verse for internet and Dish for TV and get ESPN3 access. TV-only U-Verse has a really good price, so I'm happy with my combo.

Adweek says that Dish picked this time to draw the line in part because of the FCC meeting tomorrow. Though it has limited authority to radically change the rules, the FCC put retransmission reform on its agenda for this Thursday. One analyst thinks the timing was not an accident. "While this...

The $16 that I paid for a month for locals only *included* the DVR fee. Now, I will pay $14.99 plus $6 for the DVR--$20.99 per month, but I will pay $15.99 for 6 months.

I had locals only and am leasing my 622. I never bought any of my Dish equipment, but I was allowed to switch to Locals only.

This exact thing happened to me also. We just noticed the change in our bill a few days ago and I spent a night on a chat session with a Dish CSR and then a long conversation with a person that the chat person told me to call (a department called something like RTA). They wouldn't budge from...

I just tried out a couple of antenna options and my experiments sure seemed to confirm what antennaweb said about availability. The towers are all in different directions and very far away, plus I don't have line-of-site due to terrain (hills in the way). I don't think that GoogleTV and the...

I had read up on everything when I called about switching away from Absolute. I thought that they would reject my request for locals-only, but when the CSR put me on hold and asked a supervisor and then came back to let me know that they would let me go to Locals-only, I switched right away...

Sadly, all the networks are *not* available OTA where my house is. I have an OTA antenna set up and cannot pull in all the networks no matter how much tweaking I do. When I plug in my address in that online guide to getting OTA networks, it sure doesn't look possible for me to get all the...

I am leasing my 622, but when I got the letter about Absolute ending the CSR let me switch to locals only. My bill is $16/month--that includes the charges for DVR and for Locals Only. My account shows the $16/month charge, so I'm assuming that this worked for me even though I'm in a lease.

I did the comparison yesterday and for my setup (1 DVR, a 622) it would be a *lot* cheaper for me to stay with Dish, even after the $10/month promotion ends. I also talked with a Dish CSR who was very good at answering my questions about the letter. The only question he couldn't answer was...

I have U-Verse for my home internet service, so I guess I should look at how much it would be to add TV in a bundle.

My wife just called and we apparently got the letter about losing our Absolute package. This is a really sad day. I'll probably take 120+HD and with the 12-months of credits we should be fine until we find a better option. I love my 622, but I got it right after they came out and it isn't...

Fox is really dug in now...I'm guessing this is a bad sign for how long some Fox stations will be off Dish starting Monday. News Corp.'s Fox has rejected the latest offer from Cablevision Systems Corp., meaning that about 3 million homes in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will continue...

I doubt that Dish will be caught doing what Cablevision was caught doing...Cablevision customer service rep was taped telling a customer about two web sites that they could go to if they want to watch Fox.  Cablevision: You Can Watch Fox Illegally

Interesting chart that shows just how much money is at stake in the Fox/Cablevision and Fox/Dish disputes. It is amazing that subscribers pay $4.08 per month for 1 channel (ESPN) that is watched on average 1 minute per day. By 2017, Wells Fargo Securities estimates that retrans consent for all...

NY Times article about Cablevision had to agree to arbitration with Dish (which will cost Cablevision money in its dispute with Dish) due to the Cablevision-Fox dispute. Cablevision-News Corp. Fight Intensifies - NYTimes.com

It seems that the Fox-Cablevision dispute may actually end up helping Dish with its Dish-Cablevision dispute over MSG. Fox pointed out the hypocrisy of Cablevision asked for arbitration with Fox while Cablevision refused to accept arbitration with Dish. But late in the day Tuesday...

One benefit for Dish subscribers of the Cablevision/Fox dispute is that we get to see the real numbers instead of just listening to the spin from Dish. However, in this case it sure seems that Cablevision is the one being extremely greedy. Cablevision says that Fox is looking for 4x to 5x...

At least Cablevision's contract ran out with Fox a couple of weeks before Dish's contract. With Fox off in NY and Philly, a big public battle will get even more media and public attention. Fang's Bites: BREAKING NEWS: Cablevision Pulls Fox Stations in New York and Philly

Cablevision no longer has Fox stations in NY and Philly...two very high-profile media markets. At midnight on October 16, News Corp. pulled the plug on Cablevision customers, blacking out Fox 5 and My9 in more than 3 million NY-area households. Cablevision is calling on News Corp. to...

I've read this before in a number of places. However, it is concerning when Fox asks for 4x to 5x price increases (in their Cablevision negotiations), since that will definitely impact consumers significantly...and I don't see how a cable or satellite system could increase prices 5x. For 2...
