It's always been like that. I was a former cable company customer and they had the same requirement unless the state utility required them to give a credit to each subscriber. Depending on the severity of the storm.

Apollo could still negotiate with Dish. Just because they own DTV doesn't mean they can keep their stations to themselves. Dish could file an anti competitive lawsuit against Apollo and win! Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

I agree! But, If you know about hedge funds - they love money and profits. I'm sure the endless increases will continue. Same as the cable world or they have an incentive like a two year moratorium on increases. Who knows. Juss saying... Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

I'm staying for the next ten years if a new buyer brings auto tune, caller ID to another Genie DVR with more tuners and space then the current ones have housed in them. Bring it Hedge funds. Just don't run the service in the ground like the guy that is running Sears into the ground. Make money...

They might make an agreement in the near future. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

HBOGO is no more. You have to download HBOMAX in its place. AT&T sent notices to all it's customers of the end of the service. I believe it ended July 31, 2020... Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

I don't get why AT&T would raise DIRECTV'S prices. I mean didn't they want to dismantle the company and move those subscribers to their streaming services? What happened. This strategy is not working for them? Or did the powers that be at AT&T tell them to lighten up on the strategy? Don't they...

DIRECTV'S product is still good. I have always said that I like their programming and the variety of it. I was going to bail and go to Verizon FiOS full time but, I didn't. The service does mess up at times. The majority of the times the service works flawlessly. I don't like the annual...

Don't feel bad. I moved to a new place and transferred my service. The technician didn't show or call. He did something odd the next day after I called Verizon to cancel the visit. The technician called me and said he didn't make the appointment because he was on vacation. I didn't expect that...

How are prepaid customers unprofitable? Are you suggesting Dish will get rid of Prepaid and move their customers on Postpaid? I thought bringing cash into the company on a daily basis was better then waiting for customers electronic or paper payments. I guess we will see how this plays out.

This would be good karma for the broadcasters and programmers. Bring this bill on! Pass a law and protect the subscribers from their greedy behinds. We have had enough of being stuck in the middle of these carriage disputes.

Thanks everybody for your responses. I got a clear idea of what's going on with these disputes and Charlie Ergen. I thought it was him exclusively but It is a combination of things.

Why do you want him to stay in charge? Every year there are multiple outages on Dish! Is he a bad negotiator? Partly to blame? Or is it the programmers fault? Make me understand. I don't get it. It sounds like bad business to me. But, Who am I? Nobody...

It's a shame because they let these retransmission providers hood wink them into these unsustainable price increases. They expect us to pay these outlandish rates. Some of it is the providers fault namely AT&T. It's scale and size of its empire. We are paying for this growing monopoly. When does...

Who asked you JSheridan? Asking for a friend!

It's a nice channel. I watch a lot of it's world and business news. My only peeve - It is a little blurry or grainy on DIRECTV. I don't know what is up with the resolution of the channel. Maybe that is the way the channel is beamed from the sky to our satellites. Any thoughts or comments from...

What is the HBO and Univision dispute about? Is it AT&T being a big bully charging higher rates for HBO or something else? It has been a long outage. Every year there is some kind of dispute with Dish. I mean DIRECTV outages are mostly local channels and few other channels from their lineup...

Not trying to be a smarty pants. But have you noticed the same thing on YouTube's app for the Samsung TV? They are very frequent too. Sent from my XT1609 using Tapatalk

I am not arguing about discounts. What you are benefitting from is a monopoly's size, power and deep pockets. Your bill will go up. Enjoy what you are getting from them. It won't be forever. If you are AT&T's size they can do all that stuff you gloat about. Their grandfathered customers don't...

Raise prices for the other content providers? Or AT&T's customers? Because they raised prices each year that they owned DIRECTV and I was a customer. So who's fooling whom?

We'll, It's being paid for some kind of way. Some DTV customers are not AT&T wireless customers. So, They are seeing yearly increases and I'm sure ATT/DIRECTV customers are also. Those discounts you are getting are only for a little while then your bill goes up. We all know about their todeo...

You know something? What did we get or gain by AT&T buying DIRECTV? Not a darn thing! They are picking it apart. Keeping the good things they like and getting rid of the stuff they don't. Caller ID never hurt anyone nor Auto Tune. But, To AT&T it apparently does. The customer has no say in the...
