more and likely that means they got a 3-4 year carriage agreement instead of a 2 year contract.Will I wish I knew that information... we never know how long contracts are... all's we are told when a deal is made is that "we have reached a long term deal." Whatever that means.
We would be able to waive the $5 downgrade fee in a situation like this.
I am hopeful this will resolve before kick off, so if it does not, I will contact you about making this happen. Regards.
WHY are other providers not having issues?
I'm not privy to the terms of our contract that pertains to Fox Sports 1, so I would not be able to speculate on other providers.
Here we go again. After four years, Dish and 21st Century Fox are apparently headed for their second fee fight. This time over the 2014 College Football games on Fox Sports 1. Obviously, someone hasn't learned their lesson, yet, and I wonder who the guilty party is? I am a Dish customer, and no matter how greedy Fox is getting, I have locked out Fox Sports 1 on my TV sets, and I am NOT going to unlock that channel until the two companies can grow up, and stop this game of chicken. I find this action Totally Unacceptable, and I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS B.S.
Since DirecTV has these events, Am I to assume that they paid the extortion, or they got a free pass.. This mess with Fox is getting out of hand.
I am not clear that the other providers have not also been approached on this subject. I am also wondering if Dish simply jumped the gun first and pulled the games as a negotiating ploy, in advance of the turn off date. I can't see Directv rolling over easily either, to be honest. I had Directv several years ago and went through this crap when Versus was pulled during football season. So let's see, I have ESPNs, I have Fox broadcast station and I have Pac 12, but a good chunk of Pac 12 games are on FS1.
Can go back to Directv and have FS1 (for the moment), but no Pac 12.
Circular crap...do we wll need to have two providers to just avoid these things? Seriously!!!!
Fox is also tight lipped about the Dish dispute, refusing to comment at the moment. I think all of this caught them off guard.

I say let them go...and drop my bill in the process. I could care less as any game I watch is either on ESPN/ABC or CBS/ACC Network or I can stream them online with WatchESPN. So yeah get rid of them and drop my bill and I'll be happy.
If you "ask". .....Oh yeah they will

Takes two to tango. Dish needs to grow up. Charlie is a petulant kid that takes his ball and goes home after throwing a tantrum. The networks need to stop the greedy money grab. Customers are stuck in the middle and we win by paying higher fees.
