On one hand I'm sad because I might not get to see my Boilermakers. On the other hand I'm relieved since I may not have to sit through a lot of losses.

no....I wish.....not as of last night when I had to watch Breaking Bad on my pc.....
Maybe because they are two COMPLETELY different subscriber bases.(and forums, and threads) And the Dish folks realize the reality of the situation whereas the Direct subscribers have not experienced the likes of what Dish has done to their subscribers. Dish has a history.
If you don't like what people are saying don't read it.
If BTN is gone on 9/1, I'll wait about a week just to see if a deal is reached after BTN pulls their signal. Hopefully that'll be the case. If not, I'll probably jump to Direct over this one.
No
I think He is referring to the scam that they had of giving out the reconditioned Roku players that cost them less than what they saved in one month .
A lot of dish guys thought that was better than sliced bread .
It really had no value but they loved it
Call me weird.. call me what you will. But anymore, the ONLY reason I pay DISH is for the sports I enjoy especially the Big Ten. Even though I have 6 months on my contract, if this doesn't resolve itself in 2 weeks, I'll cancel and go to DirecTV (my only other option). I just don't watch much else anymore but this and I pay a LOT to watch what I do. The least they can do is give me the programming I actually watch.
This one will get resolved within one week I'm guessing. As large as the AMC outcry was on this board, it really isn't that popular a channel nationally. If you mess with people's college football, though, watch out. I would imagine that Dish would see a notable and nearly immediate exodus of people directly attributable to dropping the BTN channels, so I don't think they'll be off the air for long, if at all.
Surely you jest?
I mean they at least tried to take care of customers that watched those channels.Roku,$30 and $35 one time credits $10 off for 12mos,free multisport or premiums in some cases and ppv certs in others.Scam? I'd hardly call it a scam.
Personally I like the roku not to mention the other offers.$30 and $35 one time credits $10 off for 12mos,free multisport or premiums in some cases and ppv certs in others.If that's a scam count me in for more of them.

The differences between the recent Dish/AMC and Direct/Viacom disputes were discussed at the time. And, it was clear why most people supported Direct, but not many supported Dish.
-Dish dropped the AMC channels. Viacom pulled their channels from Direct.
-Dish made the decision in advance to drop AMC at the end of the contract, with no negotiation. DirecTV wanted to keep the channels up while negotiating.
-AMC made some of their programming available at no charge on the Net. Viacom removed all of their programming from the Net.
-Dish is doing this because of Charlie's personal dislike of AMC's parent corporation due to a separate lawsuit having nothing to do with these channels. DirecTV was only concerned with the issue at hand, the current carriage agreement with Viacom.
-Quite simply, Dish has more of these public disputes with content providers, always using the excuse of saving its customers money. Yet, never has a loss of channels brought about a reduction in package price.
I'm sure there's more. But, those were the main ones off the top of my head right now.
Either way they need to put things to bed get all their network issues taking care of and stop making the consumers pay for it.. If they keep this up Dish and Direct folks will be getting out of their contracts due to their not getting services they signed up for. I think the refs FCC and FTC will start hearing more from the consumers on these issues and make both Dish and Direct plus the network play the game better than what they are now.
He must not bleed Orange since he won't get the ESPN debacle taken care of already. He can't see all of his Vols games in HD!D
Well he probably can since he most likely has a D* receiver at his place, but not on Dish!
of course he does. Thats how he can see all the sports in HD
AMC actually has decent programing. Other than a couple things on Comedy Central Viacom has crap on their channels
