Telling the C31s to stay on does not solve the issue. I am getting very tired of this.

I left Dish after 14 years for Directv. My experience might be instructive for someone. WHY? My wife got more upset than I about AMC. I got really pissed off the second time that Dish and the Big Ten network. So I started looking around. I had been thinking about upgrading from my 622/612...

I agree that the importance of this is over-rated. For one, it's in the interest of every ad-supported network to have an audience. Why would comcast in particular cut off access to something like NBC sports for Dish network or Directv? That would cut off more than 25% of all us households. Why...

This is what I have now: AT250 HBO Sho Blockbuster at Home HD DVR Protection plal DVR service Total would be 128 and change Directv would be: Choice Ultimate HBO Sho Advanced Recvr service and three TVs At the end of the promotion period, that comes to about $110.

I have been with Dish through thick and thin for the entirety of the 21st century. But the way they dealt with the Big Ten Network upset me enough to compare Dish to Directv. Ultimately, the Big Ten thing gave me a case of "conflict fatigue". I have a 622 and a 612. I have no contract. I want...

Fox Cable does the negotiating for BTN. Fox is a 50% partner and does all the business and technology. Fox knows Dish very well. This could have come as no surprise to anyone.

This is clearly NOT about the stores or that type of Brick and Mortar distribution system. I would guess it is about the Brand (says as much in the statement) and perhaps about inheriting distribution agreements. However, many distribution agreements do not survive a change in ownership, so...

Nothing is going to happen until FCC rules on Comcast/NBC merger

This will get solved when one of three things happen: 1) dish contract to carry abc locals comes up. 2) dish contract to carry ESPN comes up. 3) espn launches a cable channel that dish feels it needs. At that point things will get settled up and both sides will issue "partnership" statements...

I do have an antenna, but at my distance WTTW and wycc are iffy at best, especially on windy nights. I see dozens of other cities getting PBS hd. It would be easier for dish to pick up WTTW than for me to spend $200 on a new antenna install. Jus wondered if anyone heard anything about what the...

Sorry if this has been covered before, but what is the delay for PBS Hd in Chicago? No WTTW? No wycc? What gives?

That is a long time from now. It's more possible that it will come up during the negotiations for ABC O&Os. I thought I heard that is next fall.

I hope this means that Fox and Dish have together come to the conclusion that they are not enemies, and that the enemy is actually the trend toward people moving "Off-the-Grid". Through Dish, and potentially through GoogleTV, programmers like fox maintain an element of control and a revenue...

That's the value of men that watch events live and don't skip commercials.

There are two chances: 1. Get an antenna 2. If the FCC thinks that cablevision and fox are not bargaining in good faith, the may try to order arbitration on that case. And that may spill over into the dish-fox case. So arbitration may be ordered in that one as well. Me, I have an antenna.

GAWD. I forgot how obnoxious The Fan is. But they bring up one good point that should be elaborated on: Why is Fox asking for such a large increase? Because they are afraid they will NOT be able to compete with ESPN for rights to Baseball, Nascar, NFL, etc. Generally, retransmission rights go...

Withdrawn. Guess I should learn to read. Or maybe we should end this thread.

If it's not true, Fox Chicago is going to look awfully stupid. There are Anti-Dish commercials on at least four times an hour on the two fox stations here in Chicago. They all flatly and unambiguously say that Dish will lose access to the two Fox affiliates in Chicago at Midnight Nov. 1...

Read the article: "DirecTV Group sold in 2008 to Liberty Media's Malone, in exchange to his News shares." News Corp no longer has an interest in Directv. There's the rub with switching to Directv. Their contract with Fox will run out eventually, and they will end up paying whatever Dish...

Let's look at just retransmission rights for the New York News Corp stations, because it's simple. "In his report, Joyce estimated that Cablevision pays about $8.6 million a year for WNYW-TV and WWOR-TV in New York, and that News Corp. is now seeking $34 million a year." I assume every...

Dish subscribers might be interested in this. The numbers that cablevision is paying now vs. what Fox wants in a new contract are indeed staggering. Fox-Cablevision Battle Factored Into Stocks: Analyst - 2010-10-13 19:09:59 | Multichannel News If this is what Fox wants from Dish, then I...

The answer is as simple as N-F-L. And H-U-L-U. First, Dish will be put into a tight spot at the end of the month, and they know it. Imagine how many subscribers they will lose if the Fox Channels are Dark November 7 in places Like Chicago, Dallas, New York, Etc. IF they are dark throughout...

Television Blackouts in U.S. Reach Decade-High Over Fee Fights - Bloomberg Article brings up quite a few good points, including: 1) Fox contract with Cablevision for local stations expires this FRIDAY. Could be a precursor for the Dish dispute. 2) Reminded me that Fox has not been...

There are a dozen ways to parse this so that both parties are "Right". One is that some of the FSN networks don't exist anymore, Like FSN Chicago, which was largely usurped by Comcast Sports Net Chicago. But I have heard that Fox wants Everyone to pay as if there were an FSN. Should dish pay...

If there were negotiations going on, then there would be less ranting on websites, TV ads, etc. Since that does not seem to have backed down, I assume that negotiations are on Hiatus. I am sure things will pick up at the end of the month.
