So how long do you think the Dish/Turner dispute will last?

[edisonprime]

I don't have Dish anymore, but for their customers sakes I hope it's like only a couple of weeks. I remember what happened with AMC, although the Voom lawsuit had a lot to do with that one.

 

[ChadT41]

I think it will be back by Tuesday.

 

[stardust3]

It will last as long until it is resolved.

I think Nov 1, just before the election, as CNN's ratings are only getting worse without Dish, Dish knows this and with the election coming up it's even more favorable for Dish.
Personally, I wouldn't put CNN or HLN back on unless they paid me to carry it.

 

[toricred]

I wouldn't put them back on even if they did pay me.

I just hope they don't take off TBS and TNT. I like watching Conan and would be pissed if it got taken away.

Doesn't TBS and TNT contract end in like a couple of weeks?

 

[ChadT41]

I thought it was 2 weeks... A week ago

 

[Claude Greiner]

I say a week. 2 weeks tops

 

[Stargazer]

At least a total of two weeks from the start with TBS and TNT coming into the mix. Then it could get uglier and be held out even longer or could suddenly be a quick fix and channels be back. I'm sure they are negotiating TBS and TNT already.

 

[ChadT41]

I guarantee they are a factor. My guess is Turner is playing the same game and wants them included, and dish doesn't, but still wants the streaming rights. I think it was Hall that said he was setting out whiskey and cookies for Santa. Sorry, I said ho ho ho and stole it tonight.

 

[cosmo_kramer]

They will be back SOON.

Time Warner will wait until the TNT and TBS contract is up, so I would say about 6 to 8 weeks.

This dispute is all about Cartoon Network for me. Only channel of the bunch that we watch. I plan to switch if isn't restored by the Nov 3.

Yep itty yep, that's all folks!

This is the same for my family. If Cartoon Network isn't restored very quickly we are leaving Dish.

You also got to consider I sold a lot of Directv last week, mostly from dish customers complaining.

How much can dish take customers canceling service ??

 

[dwarren2]

Here's a possible alternative. It's called Play On. Don't know much about it but it looks like for a 1 time fee of $60 you get access to many channels on a variety of devices including Roku

[ChadT41]

Sure they have done the math and calculated for the few that have left. I don't think the numbers are that high

 

[Willh699]

if the dispute isn't resolved by the middle of November, then i would expect the savemyshows.com site to start promoting DirecTV and Cable as the only way to get these channels. as least they haven't done the whole AMC "Not on Dish" advertising campaign where they show ads for TV shows on other networks with a logo with Dish's logo with the no Symbol over the Dish logo.

i still gonna go with 4 weeks like i said in the other thread
