fresco said:YES only wants the same deal they got with DTV...nothing more, nothing less. Why should Dish be expecting anything else?
They aren't going to get it. They were offered EVERY DOLLAR raised form people who want the channel. What they want is to extort money from subscribers that have no desire to get this channel! We are talking more than a couple of bucks per month per EVERY subsriber in the YES area whether or not they want the channel. It's not nickels and dimes.
So to make is simple, as long as YES stick to this model, they will not be on Dish. And since the launch of YES, Dish is still growing subscribers and still profitable so YES is not that big a deal.
See ya
