    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    If we are getting Fuse, can a return of the MSG RSN channels be far behind?

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    I have also gotten a negative reaction whenever I start a sentence with the phrase "Now listen here, you f****** c***" Women--such hotheads!

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Charlie knows he's lost, and badly--or if he really doesn't, he's genuinely lost his bearings, which would be worse. I think it is the former, however. At this stage he is trying to find a way to surrender and declare an honorable peace ("victory" would be too implausible even for him).

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    All Dish is doing is delaying the inevitable, as the longer they can forestall the day of reckoning, the more pressure there will be on AMC to cut them the more favorable terms due to AMC's need to get its signal back on Dish. That is it--there is no more. All the rest is lawyerly bullcrap meant...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    You are right they are going to pay in that litigation. One way they will pay is by putting AMC/IFC/WE/Sundance back on again. All that remains to be determined is what amount of cash has to go along with that reinstatement. All the rest has been posturing. That is how big boys litigate.

    BTW, here is a better way to view Tile 17: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17 Also, beware of terms of art that you THINK you know the "common sense" meaning--they are not necessarily the same thing.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Guys, you play lawyer very badly. First of all, the "FBI Warning" is a generalized summary of the law, not the law itself. (The edit adding Title 17 is more to the point) Second, even accepting that we should use this generalized summary of the law as "the law" (which we shouldn't), you just...

    I see a lot of ipse dixit in these recent posts, but no citations whatsoever to any credible legal authority (such as a court decision construing a specific statute). Forgive me if I ask more from amateur internet lawyers. If it is so fricking obvious it should be easy to show such authorities.

    Well, I haven't done that, though I don't know why a "how to" on something not known to be illegal is forbidden. Seems to stand the presumptions of a free society upside down! But I will play be the rules, even if I find them silly.

    BTW, notwithstanding what I posted, I can understand MORAL arguments about the practice generally. However, to me, injecting morality into something like the Dish/AMC dispute is laughable. It is like the clash between Hitler and Stalin (Godwin forgive me). Frankly, I'd like to see them both suffer.

    POSTING copyrighted materials to Usenet may be "illegal" (in the US, subject to fair use and other possible exceptions). What authority do you have that DOWNLOADING such materials is "illegal"? Torrents are different in that while you download, you also propagate (upload) them at the same time...

    Any hope of getting Me TV or Antenna TV to Dish?

    I get both Me-TV and Antenna TV OTA. Dish has guide info for the former, but none for the latter (I know, probably not Dish's fault). This is the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale market. I had to upgrade the antenna to get Me-TV to come through.

    Cancelling DISH

    You are going to lose a lot more if you blow out Breaking Bad. I know I'll be gone after 12+ years.

    Any hope of getting Me TV or Antenna TV to Dish?

    I AM the OP, and yes, I was asking about Dish--obviously. It would be trivial for Dish to add either or both of these subchannels in my market. But they haven't. THAT is what I was asking about. I am about to reach critical mass on the programming that Dish refuses to carry that I can get from...

    Any hope of getting Me TV or Antenna TV to Dish?

    You guys are quite wrong--they are on many cable systems.

    Any hope of getting Me TV or Antenna TV to Dish?

    Yes, they are. Antenna TV is on Comcast cable in my area, and it appears Me TV will be as well. Antenna TV Affiliates - Antenna TV Me-TV Network | Find Me-TV in your area

    Any hope of getting Me TV or Antenna TV to Dish?

    These channels do very well what TV Land USED to do. Right now I can (sometimes) get Antenna TV on local sub-channel, but Me TV is debuting here soon on a sub-channel I cannot get.

    TCM HD looks fuzzier than its SD counterpart

    Grand Prix was much better on the HD feed tonight (didn't see Thomas Crown). The utility of the HD feed is going to increase gradually--remember, TCM has a vast programming library, WAY beyond almost what any other channel has to deal with. I repeat--check out 2001 on Friday and let's see how...

    TCM HD looks fuzzier than its SD counterpart

    2001 is on Friday at 8pm (ET). If they can't show that in true HD, I don't know what they can show.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    By phone and by chat today I was told "tough luck"--it would cost me $95 to fix. Because Dish has a problem with its satellites, I am supposed to pay $95? Bye, Dish. That's $2400/year you won't be getting--brilliant business decision!

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I called on 2/11. The customer service rep (for existing customers) AND her supervisor never heard of the issue. I managed to get transferred to tech support--they knew the issue. I was on the phone almost an hour. The bottom line--although they were hoping that a promo would be issued "soon"...
