DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

Claude, a price increase was coming regardless. Bet nearly every other provider gets one as well.

$700M cash including Dish getting some wireless licenses cover 45 DMAs. It is fair to say the VOOM's star attorney is crap crap crap crap:), at least as far as Mr.4069 is concerned.

Perhaps now you can now Troll-Away to a land where Dish really does beat Tivo, Dish also beats Voom, and your beloved leader does no wrong. :dontfeedtrolls:

This is good news for both parties, who are both happy with the settlement! Now, if you wish to now somehow spin this good news in a major win for Dish...go right ahead and keep yourself entertained. :hatsoff:

Wow, only took Dish 4 months and a lawsuit to solve this programming dispute.

One thing for sure is the $700 million is coming from somewhere, and it sure aint Charlie's pocket. Im sure we will start seeing the effects of this come Febuary 1st when their price freeze ends and they raise everyones rates.

They still have competition, and can only raise rates so much. Besides, it's been posted here MANY times that money was set aside years ago for this settlement. Surely you noticed?
 
Well now with AMC back on, thanks to the fellow satellite guys out there who first discussed the roku and the credits, thanks to dish for providing the credits and the roku's for the shows we were going to miss or thought we might miss (mad men) for me :)
 
BTW, didn't Dish and TiVo settle at the last minute, BEFORE an actual judgement was passed? Or is my memory faulty? Well, it is, but that's for another thread! ;)
 
i said this in the other AMC thread:

well 4 years of legal mess have finally ended with a resolution with Dish getting one dispute ending at 3 and a half to 4 months, and one that lasted 2 years and 4 months. no word yet on if MSG and MSG plus returning, if they do return as well on Nov 1. then that means that dispute lasted 2 years and one month. it's good that they resolved this AMC network dispute/VOOM lawsuit. now to the next legal issue to resolve, and that's the Dish/Disney lawsuit and the dispute said lawsuit has caused.
 
Thanks for 4 1/2 years of lively discussion everyone! At least we all finally know happened in this case...exactly what Voom claimed in their amended complaint back May 2008. Anyway, I've had enough of this thread for one lifetime so it's time to exit stage left. Again, this is great news for CV/AMC Networks and Dish Network customers. And who knows, perhaps we'll see some Monsters and KungFu action in the future? I'll see some of you in The Walking Dead thread later this evening. :hatsoff:
 
Did I win or did someone else? (In price is right rules.)

Looks like my prediction was closest with out going over.
I predicted $400 Million. Yet some called that outrageous.
In the end Dish Paid out $400 Million plus about $300 Million for the Wireless licenses that they wanted all along for a total of $700 Million.

I big thank you to RIFFJIM4069 for his great reporting over the last 4 years.

"Anyway, I challenge you to look at the facts. Earlier you predicted this case would cost Dish $400M. I find that figure to be outrageous considering Voom had already invested 300M in the 'service' "
