This is not the same as GolTV. This is a new channel launched in Spain by MediaPro to air matches, domestic and foreign, for which MediaPro has the rights. I don't know what the international copyright laws are but maybe there is a difference between GolTV and Gol TV (with a space).

No, what I keep saying is it shouldn't matter to you what anyone else does. If people are "rational" or not or "emotional" or not when they vent, why does it matter to you. You are so hellbent on "correcting" people that you miss the tenor of these threads. People are venting their frustrations...

Exactly. What does it matter to you what people on this and other similar threads think and do? If GolTV doesn't matter to you, stay with DishTV and it shouldn't matter what anyone else does, no matter how "uninformed" in your opinion that person may be.

Are you a Dish Network accountant, then???? If not, the above statement applies to you as well.

Judge and jury, eh???

No. Dish Network is responsible for the success (or failure) of Dish Netwok. GolTV is responsible for the success (or failure) of GolTV.

This could be great theater. Floor fight????

There is "chatter" that ESPN may want to make a run at La Liga and the Prem after this season. There is another GolTV thread on this forum where this has been discussed. There is a thread on the BigSoccer site, TV thread, that discusses the rumor that ESPN may bid for the Prem. What I think you...

I would like to know what the ratings breakdown is between the Spanish and English sides for GolTV. I do know that the La Liga ratings for the Hispanic market are excellent. I would guess that La Liga and the Bundesliga attract a fair number of English speaking viewers, while the rest of the...

That is definitely an intriguing rumor. Also, GolTV is launching on Time Warner cable (LA NYC among their locales). That means more alternatives for receiving GolTV in the nation's two largest (and heavily Hispanic) media markets. Given the possibility of the ESPN scenario described above...

How long was Lifetime off the air? GolTV announced today that it is launching on Time Warner Cable this week. That would include LA and NYC among other locations. There was speculation on another thread that the possibility of GolTV losing the rights to La Liga, and thus many viewers, after the...

That is bad news. To any Dish executives monitoring this forum:..... Here's a reminder of a fact that I'm sure you've all been made aware of......Setanta won't keep La Liga and Bundesliga fans (not to mention fans of the various Latin American leagues on GolTV) from leaving Dish en...

I'm not quite sure at what or whom you're hinting. In truth, I don't watch that much soccer beyond Barca and Madrid matches (and if Madrid is cruising to an easy win, I can't stand to watch and I turn it off). While I generally have an idea of what's going on in Europe via highlights and news, I...

Yes, the HD possibilities would increase. That would be great. La Liga in HD was pretty sweet while it lasted. No, never played poker. Why?

It would make good business sense for ESPN. The three top leagues (Eng, Spa, Ita) play matches for the most part at different times. Consolidating them on one channel plus having Champions could do well. I don't know if Dish has GolTV over a barrel. La Liga fans will switch to Direct or cable...

On the Spanish language side, there is absolutely zero doubt that the matches would be live on ESPN Deportes. If I'm not mistaken, La Liga gets the highest ratings in its time slot in Spanish speaking households. On the English language side, I especially could see problems during college...

Yeah I remember. The worst was when they sub-licensed the 3rd choice match to whatever Fox Soccer channel was called, while never showing the 1st and 2nd choice matches (meaning no Barca no Madrid). In the 2000-1 season they had matches on PPV on ESPN Extra for 5 or 6 bucks a match if I'm not...

I think the lack of contracts with cable makes it less frustrating when they pull a channel. If you have recently signed a two-year, you probably would be pretty p'd off. So on second thought, maybe Dish does deserve the bad rep compared to Direct. ESPN does seem well positioned to take back...

This is what gives me hope that something will be worked out. By virtue of being ahead of the other providers in adding GolTV (and ESPN Deportes (ie CL matches) if I'm not mistaken), I would think that, early on, Dish grabbed a pretty good share of the soccer (particularly Hispanic) fan market...

Not having that information, thus making it difficult to evaluate "what is reasonable", did not stop you from trying to evaluate the situation earlier in this thread. And in both cases, the assumption was that GolTV was "at fault". You introduced the "speculation" that GolTV wanted to move up a...

Let me qualify this. You very well may be correct that that GolTV is more "at fault" in this dispute. But, without being privy to the details of the standoff, you reflexively feel that this is true due to the past (in your view "good") negotiations of Dish. This does show a bias.

We are in agreement here.

It sure sounds like you support Dish over Direct here. It also sounds like you support Dish over GolTV in this dispute.

You still haven't answered the question. In spite of all that you claim Charlie and Dish have done for the history of the world and satellite TV, saving us from the collective greed of Rupert and the cable companies, would you, a professed Boro supporter, subscribe to Direct or Comcast if your...
