    New Dish RSN Dispute- CSNCA

    I can't imagine how even the most staunch Dish mouthpiece could defend this move on Dish's part. I know I am gone as soon as my DSL with Frontier is up at the end of December. The Comcast package is just too tempting and I won't have to deal with the crap that Dish seems to be heaping on us...

    Dish out in Sacramento due to snow?
