    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    But back to the original thread: Can anyone ascertain (now that the FCC is involved) that ANY progress has been made?

    Moving to new house that already has a dish installed

    I've always found when I moved that ultimately DISH had to come out and go to "the new ARC" etc. It was always free (DishMover) but there was always something they had to upgrade. Not a bad thing. But who knows.

    WISC Madison WI

    OK I can tell I've been super summer busy. I just saw that WISC is off the air. Did some research and this happened a week ago. The usual crap from the OTA station (we want $$ for what should be free... wait they'd never say that). Does ANYONE know where these negotiations are? It won't be...

    Move and EHD

    I wish I had seen this thread earlier. I had 2 accounts - 1 in Indiana (VIP622) and 1 in Wisconsin (322 DVR). I had an external HDD hooked to the VIP622. I sold my house in Indiana and ended that account and upgraded my account in Wisconsin to HD (they did it for free). They sent me a VIP722...

    To Pause Or Cancel

    When we moved back from Indiana to the house we still owned in Wisconsin, since my daughter (who still lives at that house... yes we moved back in with our kids) has Dish already, I agreed to go on Dish Pause at no cost with the deal that when we bought a new house we could get the new deals...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    I guess count me in the group that wants this settled. It has dragged on. It's getting to the time of year where ABC Family has a lot of Christmas shows on. The "glorious SD" usually has me going to buy the Blu-Ray. Would like to watch with my grandkids. Also want ESPNU but understand...

    Dish charges shipping for broken receivers? And, other musings on my super-dead 722K.

    VIPx22 Failures I just lost my VIP622 also. I've had enough hard drive disasters over the years (computers) to know that I had to keep things on the EHD. I kept very little on the DVR as it was 6 years old (the original) and I knew was far past the normal failure time of a 622. Yes I was...

    How long with Dish?

    For me 2006. Have had DISH now at 4 different addresses. Sadly having lost my job here, it will (hopefully) become 5 addresses later this year.

    Excellent DISH Technical Issue Experience

    I read a lot in this forum about all the bad experiences people have with Dish. I sometimes think people have signed up for this forum just to complain. So I thought I'd share a positive experience. I had a 211k that was sending all kinds of messages (Smart card not authorized, programming...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    The whole strategy is mysterious to me. DISH (and BTN as I feel they were equally responsible) managed to irritate everyone in Big Ten country. Dish I know lost a lot of subs and the poor CSRs that work for the proclaimed "worst company to work for in America" had to feel like they were caught...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    Back to the topic at hand: How does one really know if negotiations are ongoing in any channel dispute? How do we know if DISH and BTN are talking? How do we know if DISH and AMC are talking? How do we know if DISH and Disney / ESPN are talking? How do we know if DISH and FEARNet are talking...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    Folks (especially B1G / BTN fans) I think the time has come for all of us to realize it's over with DISH. The last 2 weeks you could see a deal was likely imminent as (beyond the usual pontificating by each side) there was no change in programming etc. But now, DISH has pulled down the BTN Alt...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    BTN OFF THE AIR ON DISH Forget what I just posted in the other thread. BTN is off... just a crawl now.

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    OR maybe the BTN and DISH got together and said "It's stupid for us to hold the fans hostage while we demonstrate our mutual immaturity and greed at the expense of the people that pay ALL of our salaries. Let's show some integrity, keep the channel on and come to a mature agreement as...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    I saw the same thing gjcavana. The one "encouraging sign" was that the "IwantmyBTN" website also showed the settlement message and not the "hurry and switch from horrible DISH message". The fact that this is still up tells me they've probably agreed to keep things the same for maybe 3 weeks...
