Speaking of that I am still waiting for Cox to get CBS Sports Network in HD.Also, I was just joking about the whole resolution thing. As long as it's in HD I'm happy

Les Moonves Calls Dish-Disney Deal “A Great Start” But “Not Enough For Us http://tv.yahoo.com/news/les-moonves-calls-dish-disney-deal-great-start-213842072.html
Oh yay, Dish's contract with CBS is up at the end of the year! More drama to look forward to. Too bad Les Moonves is a greedy a$$hat. I know it's early, but I predict a dispute over CBS programming. I just can't see Charlie and Les playing nice for months while a contract is hashed out (like happened with Disney).
Aside from OaO locals (including CBS and CW here in SF), that would include the Showtime suite of channels, CBS Sports and TVGuide channel.

If you are a Mountain West fan, then its something you have to have xD
Watching Boise State football matches in SD is an eyesore.
So it looks like cbs is next (end of the year)...I wonder what deals need to be re done after that ???
I'm just not sure why dish would not get all the hd channels available from disney...Surely that had to be a stipulation no ???

Humm...what can we call les Moonves
You know, while Dish and Disney had major issues in the past, during this last contract talk when was the last time a programmer kept the programming on past contract time. Yes there would have been major issues for Disney if they pulled, but they didn't thus both companies negotiated something it looks like cbs is not open to doing yet. But wait what will we all do if TV guide is pulled!
Yeah, that was amusing. My least favorite was learning that Dish semi-caved on auto-hop.
One has to wonder why they bothered developing auto-hop at all if they planned to make it this useless from the beginning.
I think it's an eyesore in any picture quality.
That field is something else.Yeah, that was amusing. My least favorite was learning that Dish semi-caved on auto-hop.
Yeah the three day thing is kind of a bummer, I think by the time I watch it will be past the three day window
There will be a CBS thread with 3000 posts on it before we know it!

I mean who really cares about Autohop, I don't cause you can just press a button and do it from then on anyway. And if you think about it I feel this was by design to get what they wanted in the long run. You basically design and build a car that can drive 200mph but then only sell it in a country that has a 75mph speed limit. lol
Anyway where are the HD CHANNELS!??!?!? COME ON BABY!! ESPNU HD

It will be awesome if they put the WatchESPN app on the hopper - far too many times have I been only able to use that streaming method to watch something but to be able to do that and put it right on the TV in pretty HD would be sweet.
I think it just show how few people were involved with the negotiations. The contract of course would continue to be secret from almost everyone in both Dish and Disney. The few in the know will let out details as they think they are needed, these contracts are very competitive, Dish would not want other cable/DBS operators knowing any of the terms, or what moves Dish might make. Disney of course wants to be sure they can extract as much as possible out of negotiations with other companies, they do not want these terms out.
