I find that funny coming from D* TV. I was a original DirecTV Streaming customer who was paying $20 a month when they first launched and when I finally got around to cancelling because it got to high, I was paying $80 a month (which is more then Spectrum cable charges for whatever cable line up...

Btw it's starting to get Media attention just saw this NBC News tweet: Dish Network still reeling from week-old ransomware attack

I miss ONN never watched it on satellite but had it on Time Warner cable. Stinks that it was not profitable for the former owners of WBNS-TV (The Wolfe family) to continue. They ran it out of a double-wide trailer next to the WBNS Studios in Columbus :)

I have UVerse for TV so I am mixed how I feel about this whole deal.. As long as my IPTV service stays as is (or gets additional channels) I am fine. I see this really as a way for AT&T to have their own service provider to offer video to rural areas (or areas they don't want to upgrade to...

Both D* and AT&T already "outsource" a majority of their telephone customer service.. I doubt much will change.

Times are a changing' in the rental industry .. Honestly BB would have been gone a lot sooner if it wasn't for Dish propping it up for this period of time. (I know here in Columbus MOST of the BB's closed around the time Dish was getting ready to take over) .. In fact they bulldozed a few of...

My guess is not IF they make up but WHEN.. all programmers want their programming in as many eyes as possible.. It's realistically only a matter of time before ABC/Disney and Dish become 'pals' again.

Can't blame dish on this one.. It was an issue with Starzz itself.. also was out on AT&T UVerse.

Dish just wants you to get excited about what it has to offer!!!

I find it interesting "Russia Today in Spanish" ... What would most Spanish speakers want to watch about Russia?

Hey now... Uncle Charlie wants you to cook your VIP222K so you can "pay" for the latest hopper or something :P

ALACart option would only mean you would actually pay more.. I am kinda happy with getting 200 channels for X dollars a month..
