But as you point out this isn't real world. Posting you would definitely do something and actually doing it are very different things.

I feel like you just kicked me in the netherregion.
RE: DISH dropping AMC
maybe it'll be like DISH dropping The Weather Channel...that lasted what, ... 12 hours

You mean American Movie Cast takes the air for a weekend then we get a slide of it not being available anymore. Dish would try to make it look like AMC did twenty years ago.
Oh NO
Never that will could never have a channel w/ classic movies on. That can't be right.

Say what?!?!?!
Correct. So, the same holds true for the entire result of the poll, including the part you pointed out previously.

That was a good move. That temporary Weathercast was terrific. I was actually able to watch the weather instead of a documentary about tornados. They should have dropped TWC for good.
True dat.Never that will could never have a channel w/ classic movies on. That can't be right.
I just got off the phone with a Dish CSR, and asked "Are you really going to pull AMC Networks?". He said no, there's been an update, and they will definitely NOT be pulling AMC. I asked how recent that information was, and he said "Within the last day or two". Can anyone else confirm this? I'm planning to wait an hour and call back.

I would take this info with a grain of salt as CSRs are the last to know about these things. If an agreement had been reached there would have been a press release issued from one of the parties.
I would just like to not have to read tea leaves, like lists of resolutions of prior spats, absence of AMC in channel lineup cards, etc. Unfortunately for us, we're not willing to live without Mad Men and Breaking Bad, no matter what "high quality" channels replace AMC. I'd REALLY prefer not to leave for Comcast, but I need to make a decision soon, as I'm having my roof replaced soon, and have no desire to sink a dish into it just to have it removed a week or two later!
There will be a big press release when this is resolved. It will be posted here long before it gets sent out the the CSRs. Hopefully the press release will happen before the contract expires. But, it unfortunately looks like Dish is digging in for the long haul.
