You sure you want to apply that type of logic ? If so, anytime Dish adds (1) channel, you want to see a rate increase, right ?
It'll get resolved before or within a week after CFB season starts. But yeah, it's not worth gambling a 2-year agreement over it.Christ on a cracker!!! Now I have to cancel my Dish install for Wednesday. I was all ready to make the jump from Direct even though AMC was gone and now this?? That's to much. I'm a Buckeye fan and I will go or stay with a provider that has The Big Ten Network. I'm sure fans of that team up North, Wisconsin and so on feel the same.
I said this before in another thread... My fear of going to Dish was them dropping ESPN, Big Ten and so on during college football season. I think one thing Charlie doesn't get or most people is the fact that we LOVE our college football and will leave no matter how much if you don't provide it. Yes I know everyone does it including Direct but man it seems like Dish does it constantly!
Yea I know some people don't care and will say goodbye just like they always do. For those people I say I can't wait till they drop two or three of your favorite channels for a really long period of time.

Yeah, I wish more people would hold off on their knee-jerk reactions until more info comes out...Few details as of yet though
Why does everyone lament a negotiation at the end of a contract as Dish losing channels?
Isn't B10 still there? Or are you wishing for B10 to remove transmission permission?
You do realize that is really what it is? Dish is not dropping the channels, B10 will withdraw permission for retransmission.
Most of these get resolved before the deadline and here you are whining about what has not yet happened - get a life.
There is more to life than football and there are certainly more important things to worry about.
Save your angst for when something happens, don't waste it on speculation.
What a waste of electrons.
Good grief!!

I agree while yes there is more then just tv, I get a little entertainment from watching some college football, in the end hope it's negotiating talk and all is well
Here's the "corporate" bull**** answer to that:Considering the reason they give most time is to save money for the consumer, it's a valid question. Yeah the bill may go up if they give in, but let's be honest, it does even if they don't.
"Yes, rates did have to go up slightly, but they would have went up more had we not negotiated with the provider."
