    rfdtv gone but not forgotten

    You should study history. I agree 100 percent, censorship is not freedom. Which is why there was a war called the Revolution fought in the late 1700's which I thought gave us certain rights, freedoms and protections from opressive governments.

    rfdtv gone but not forgotten

    I'm not concerned about rfdtv's price. I'm not upset over it not being on the top 100. It's a little channel of no concern to 99 percent of subs. It's called censorship. Just as the free previews were self imposed censorship by dish, this is worse, blocking rfdtv from the fta list was done by...

    rfdtv gone but not forgotten

    The only and I mean the only reason rfdtv is no longer a part of the pi channels on dish network is because it represented the rural American culture, or flyover country and not Mexico or San Francisco. If rfdtv had a program called Dyke Cowgirl TV instead of Big Joe's Polka show it would have...

    October Movie Fest - Free Movie Channel previews

    Which violates both the Constitution and the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. We are no longer a free democracy anymore. An opt out aproach would be constitutional, but blocking free speech without consent is a socialist experiment. No, this rule effects more than just family pack subs...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    EXCUSE ME? Dish did this to me and infringed on my rights at the beginning of the year when they took away my limited sample viewing of cable programing because of some behind the scenes family package contract which effected me, a customer not subscribing to this new package. Dish does NOT...

    DiSH subs number drop

    This is what happens when a company cares more about contracts, ala family package censorship of free previews, and less and less about the average joe who can no longer afford even the most basic package and sees no benefit in buying a cheap package who's only purpose in life is to restrict...

    Lesbian kiss on family package?

    Why is lesbianism now ok in the family package? I was flipping through the channels when I came across colours tv where a bunch of thong-clad babes dancing around. then two women started kissing. I am not making this up folks. __________________ "Though not a member of any family...

    No porn subscriptions in Ohio??????? look

    According to dish's family package contract, tcm, ifc, and free previews might as well be hardcore porn, since the latter is now forever banned on my receiver even though I do not sub to the family package..It all has it's roots in the superbowl incident, which I never saw and never was...

    Would Ala CArt really be so bad? + Broadcast Basic..

    If they introduced a new low cost a basic cable package, with say, the top ten most watched channels, and one priced as cheap as the family pack then there would be no need for la carte. That would be 2 dollars a channel, with 50 percent profit for dish since each channel costs an average of 1...

    ReelzChannel To Debut On Dish In Fall

    Wake me up in twenty years when tcm is available ala carte for one dollar, otherwise I'll just stick to watching entertainment tonight on my locals only package.

    Starz "free" Preview? Bite me!!

    They have used what is commonly referred to as a black out in mlb terms. I can understand why they are doing this but I strongly disagree as to how it was done or even if it was necessary, ie free will. Echostar has in effect created an upper and lower class tiered system, much like todays...

    No more free Dish?

    I requested the fta stations last week, and finally they turned them on, but I noticed a few missing channels like cspan, one of the stations that really really want. What to do?
