    Tegna dispute IS OVER!

    I'm still missing a local channel from the Mission/Nexstar mess. It's been out for over a year now, and I don't expect it to ever come back. Now I have another missing local because of Tegna. I give this a 50/50 chance of ever coming back. I use the Directv Stream, sure would be nice to have an...

    Any one else having intermittent issues with Phillies-Braves game?

    Every channel but my locals are down. I'm getting a "weather related event", with partly cloudy skies.

    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    At this point in the game, Charlie and Dish might as well just go all in. Get rid of ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS Sports, Big Ten, etc.. get rid of sports completely. Sink or swim on being the leader in no sports. Just think how much Dish could lower your bill each month. Or more likely, keep your bill...

    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    Disappointing... I've been using Directv Stream for awhile now, and would have gotten rid of Dish already, but the boss lady likes Dish. With Dish dropping/being forced to drop 25+ channels? Maybe it's time to get rid of Dish completely. The boss lady is setting up for a wedding today, using...

    Tenga Stations Return to DISH.

    Yeah, interesting. A friend has Mediacom and stated his channel came back on. But maybe he got confused with his OTA that he has setup. I'll have to see if I can get an answer from him.

    Tenga Stations Return to DISH.

    Mediacom came to an agreement at the exact same time as Dish... after over a year of being off air.

    2 year agreement ran out

    I called a week or so ago. Got $50 off a month for a year, 6 months of Dish movie pack at 50% off, 3 months of showtime and Starz for free. Got this for a 12 month commitment. The nice lady at first looked up a 2 year agreement and could only get $10 off a month for that.... yeah, weird. lol...

    The Blacklist

    I'm definitely still watching. Red doing Red things, especially now with him taking on another role... oh yeah. Though the Asian team member is extremely annoying... she has taken over the most annoying spot from Liz.

    DISH Fights for a Fair Deal, Tegna Prioritizes Greed above Consumers

    Right at the top of the hour, bang.. off the air. Mediacom has had Tegna off the air since January 1st... guess we'll see how long Dish holds out.

    Nexstar Media Group forces blackout of nearly 5.4 million DISH customers

    I've been without my local Fox station for months. It won't surprise me if Charlie doesn't renew the contract. As Charlie has said, you find the programming else where. What Charlie has forgotten, is yep... we the customers keeping you in business can find the programming else where by going to...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    :Sigh: I stated I was out but got drawn back in. Let's just say you're incorrect and I'll leave it at that. Perhaps IParsons would like some easy money? Regardless, have a great night. If you, or anyone wishes to discuss Mediacom and what they are doing, feel free to start a new thread.

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    Mediacom has been 3.1 since, 2017. Is it everywhere for their footprint? I have no clue. But I do know they are testing multi-gig internet, IPTV, etc.. :shrugs: Since this is about selling Directv, I'll bow out. Have a great one! :)

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    Actually Mediacom is already testing IPTV in certain markets, as well as multi-gig internet, such as in the Ames, Iowa area. IPTV is coming... along with multi-gig internet, Docsis 4.0, etc.. :)

    Marshall Broadcasting dispute

    Local Fox station still off the air, as well as NBC Sports Chicago, etc... Boss lady doesn't want to leave Dish, neither do I because of the Hopper 3, so lowering the Dish package, getting Mediacom cable/internet. Overall, will be paying the exact amount I am now. Not ideal, but will be getting...

    Marshall Broadcasting dispute

    Dispute is still ongoing. On one hand I'm a bit surprised Marshall, and whichever companies involved in this, haven't blinked yet. If this goes for a month, then I'll begin to think these stations won't be coming back.

    Marshall Broadcasting dispute

    I would imagine they're thinking if you're on DISH, you'd be apt to want to keep satellite, hence Directv. This area is comprised of a lot of farmers, etc.. so the Directv reference makes sense. Cable companies tend not to go to those areas due to cost of build out. Many only are able to receive...

    Marshall Broadcasting dispute

    My area is still down. Dish states they're asking for almost double the previous rate. My local channel is stating they're asking for fair value compensation. They also changed their dispute page which states that "you have options" "consider the attractive offers of Directv or streaming...

    Marshall Broadcasting dispute

    Interesting that my local channel, KLJB, a fox station, is pretty much stating they took the signal off air... normally the station and Dish, ATT, whomever, play the blame game on who took the signal off air. Their big speel right now is, you're going to miss the NFL playoffs and Superbowl...

    Marshall Broadcasting dispute

    See, that's where the confusion comes in. Mission owns that station in Rockford it looks like, but Nexstar is still the operator. So it looks like the stations Nexstar operates is involved with this as well. Looks like about 25 stations have been taken off the air. ABC, FOX, CBS, etc.. dependent...

    Marshall Broadcasting dispute

    This is a bit of a strange one. Handful of stations threatening to go dark at 6:00p.m. today. But most of their owned stations are operated by Nexstar.. Regardless, The Marshall owned and operated stations don't have much leverage unless Nexstar flexes their muscle on it, which I'm not sure...

    NBC Sports Chicago Upcoming Renewal

    I'm not sure about the Cubs channel. I don't really expect Dish to carry it, but I dunno. Metronet states they should be able to provide service to my address by summer at the latest. Regardless what I do with video service, I'm adding Metronet for internet as my main. Mediacom internet will be...

    NBC Sports Chicago Upcoming Renewal

    Still nothing new from Dish on carrying Sports Chicago. Only saving grace is the Bulls and Blackhawks are sucking it up this season. AT&T Now has both this and the Cubs new channel available. Though I'm not sure of the whole IPTV working 100% of the time at the moment. I've decided to hang onto...

    NBC Sports Chicago Upcoming Renewal

    Yeah, I don't expect Dish to carry this or the RSN again. Charlie figures those who want it have already left, and those who are staying don't care enough to leave. My free month of youtube tv will expire soon... It's ok, pretty much the same thing as Hulu TV, but I wouldn't want to use them...
