Dish Network’s Charlie Ergen: HBO Blackout Will Prompt ‘Game Of Thrones’ Piracy – Deadline

As a loyal Dish customer and long time HBO subscriber I refuse to sign up for HBO GO. That's just helping HBO and not supporting Dish. It's like Charlie said, anybody can search the net and find out how to watch HBO shows without paying HBO.

Watching FOX news around 7:30 pm and I notice an odd commercial for NBC nightly news. I think this is unusual for FOX so I try to back up a few minutes to re-watch it. The commercial is no longer there. Of course I think I may be going crazy but It happens again during another commercial break...

It's hard to understand why anyone would think they're a better football conference than the SEC. The championships speak for themselves.

I think the SEC Network will be great for everybody. We will get to see the best college football available. No one will have to miss out just because they live in another part of the country. That will be worth every dollar subscribers are asked to contribute. This is a great thing for Dish...

I've found the OTA tunner does very little to help improve reception. The antenna is where you'll get the best number of channels. I wound up getting a MOHU. But if you do an internet search you'll find many good options at cheaper prices if you can mount it outside. I do have issues when...

Wrong! No news is not good news when the stations are blacked out. Now that the FCC denied Dishs request to block the merger between Young and Media General things should get real nasty. Will Young Broadcastings 10 channels be blacked out any day now that they are also Media General?

The bright side is there's no reason to black out anything anytime soon. If nothing else Dish and Disney should keep things as they are while trying to come to an agreement. Dish knows they'll have a hard time explaining to their customers how they dropped ESPN because they couldn't broadcast...

Looks like things may be stalling with Disney. Inside info is starting to leak out. The deal is not about money. It's internet, wireless transmission and the hopper. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/04/business/media/disney-and-dish-wrangle-not-over-broadcast-fees-but-the-future-of-tv.html?_r=0

I'm out day 1. ESPN is one channel I refuse to do without. But I was asking looking for recommendations for new providers.

If Dish does lose ESPN what is everybody's choice of new providers? I'm looking at Uverse. They seem to have the best service for the price. I hope things get settled, I would really miss the hopper.

I'm thinking no

I find it hard to believe there are too many complaints about the hopper. It is a fantastic piece of equipment. I had no ideal how much I would like PTAT. If there are any complaints it would be with Dish's On Demand services and their lack of available HD channels. Dish lacks a lot in the on...

I dropped xfinity for Dish. I still had xfinity internet and phone. Then I found Vonage phone for 12.99 vs 44.99. Now I'm down the just internet with xfinity.

I apologize for making that statement. It was meant to be one of those comments people make when they don't think it actually applies to anyone.
