DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

[king3pj]

I get why people (especially OLDER people) would have a little trouble understanding it ~ that you need to record an entire network evening at least once a week to activate it. That is a little clumsy, right?

I always wondered if DISH made AutoHop a little tough to activate as a means of satisfying the networks. Clearly, with recent lawsuits and this ABC problem, the networks are not satisfied.

Well if you just turn it on it does all 4 networks every night by default. That is probably the way it is set up for the vast majority of people. Most of them probably don't even know they can select which networks and which nights.

Does a deal happen tommorow or do the mouse channels go dark?

You're annoying.

You're annoying.

Whatever

Just glad I'm not under contract at the moment.

Makes one wonder if Ergen developed a massively elaborate plot to develop the Autohop feature in order to turn it into a prized chess piece to be traded in specifically for the new ESPN contract.

Disney: Okay, we will give you the farm and WatchESPN, but you have to give up Autohop.
Dish: Umm... okay. *giggle*

They'll go dark, just to rile you up.

Disney/ESPN logos missing

Anyone notice the logos for the Disney/ABC/ESPN group missing in the guide and on screen info bar? Something isn't adding up right if stuff is starting to disappear. Can somebody shed some light on the situation?

This was mentioned in the longer ESPN thread. Long story short, nobody knows what it means (if it means anything).

Optimists will tell you they are getting ready for HD feeds of ESPNU, ABC Family, Disney Jr.

Pessimists will tell you they are getting ready to yank the whole damn Disney bundle.

I know one thing - if they get yanked, we will get a ton of make-up crap. Will make the AMC Rokus look like nothing.

Yep. Same here. Local ABC still has the logos though.

Yep. Same here. Local ABC still has the logos though.

But the ONLY (local) ABC's that would be affected anyway, will be the ABC O&O's - not ABC "affiliates" - are you in an O&O market?

I wonder if we will get Espn buzzer beater/ goal line channel if a new deal is reached...it could be a nice addition to the multi sport pack

 

[3HaloODST]

Probably not.

Logos are back. Is it a sign?

 

[Rey]

Whatever

Any updates will be posted here, I promise you that. Until then, no sense in asking the same questions over and over when there isn't new information. Hopefully this will all be over soon.
