There are probably multiple components from different manufacturers, but I would not think they would be making so many of them that could not be assembled by one "vendor".

Today or tomorrow is what Mark told me when I emailed him.
ThanksYes. I can't say much more now. All will be clear soon.
What I find Fascinating is you all Failed to mention that $10 more than likely also has Dish profit embedded into it.
If Dish is charging $10 you can bet your bottom dollar even the NY market probably doesn't even cost Dish more then $8.
Just remember ESPN cost almost as Much by its self then all the locals in Each 210 DMAs by Charlie's $10 standard.
The locals have by Far more content than most channels that cost twice as much.
$10 is a Value IMO for whats offered especially when OTA isn't an option at all.
If you can get them for Free, Great,
But Charlie needs to point the Finger in other areas as well about out of control programming costs.
ESPN need to be Al la carte.
I agree with ESPN needing to be Ala carte. I also think all sports need to be ala carte, just like Premium movie packs are ala carte. Of course the only pack that comes close to this is the Flex pack and the add on packs. I am surprised that DISH found a way to accomplish it in the first place, but happy that they did.
Agree, Locals IMO are not the problem why our bills are out of control.
Sports channels and even RSNs which again was already brought up, Clearly RSN cost more money.
The 120 and 120 Plus pack would be the same price otherwise.
And since RSN can't be removed from TOP 200 and 250, tells me they are definitely costing money, as well as making money.
ESPN not being a la carte is not necessarily Charlie's fault. Disney doesn't want that to happen
Charlie comes from the C-Band era, I'm sure he'd be happy to sell us every channel on an individual basis for $5 each like they used to if he could

You can't cry Wolf in one area and yet not do the same where the expenses really are out of control.
What stopping him from showing us an uncheckable box with the Disney ESPN suite?
That box would probably say $30
For selling them A La carte , Yes.
But thats not what was said.
No, Don't buy that.
You show me where the Local networks stated to Dish that they can show a $10 Uncheckable box designed to show what it cost Dish customers.
You said what's keeping Dish from showing a line item for ESPN, which is one single channel
Dish is not showing a line item for every individual local channel, and it's the same nationally. That is a huge difference from listing a price for every channel separately
To most people this is Obvious.
To the members that post excuse after excuse its clearly not.
Like I said, my pipe dream would be an access fee (that would include Dish's take) and then the itemized locals true cost, but there are sooooo many things to muddy the waters it could never happen.

It is still true that if you use the OTA adapter with Hopper 3 and cancel your local channels through DISH, you won't get the guide anymore? Sorry if I missed this discussion?
