I mean if there's anyone who has information that relates to the original topic of this thread that hasn't been posted yet it is you....

There is precedent for how a merger of Dish and DirecTV would work. Two different ways, actually. DirecTV bought Primestar in 1999 and eventually moved every subscriber (who didn't get poached by Dish) over to DirecTV. I don't think that would be a bad idea, especially if they have an army of...

Good grief, this thread is ridiculous

A lot of us are still wondering why you think this behavior is caused by excessive fragmentation on the hard disk

Why do you think defragmenting the drive will help with that?

Funny that you guys think customer input matters. The only thing that matters here are the providers paying Dish for placement

To watch Bally's Sports on a Roku, you need a login from a pay TV provider. Your internet provider is irrelevant, so it doesn't matter if you use AT&T or Comcast or Charter or anyone else for internet access. What matters is who your TV provider is. First, you have to have a TV provider like...

No one has said the FCC is wrong. You're misinterpreting what "unserved" means

You don't even have to qualify to ask. You have a first amendment right to call Dish and ask for whatever you want. You can ask them to send you a pizza if you want. Doesn't mean it's going to happen I'm not sure why you're so hung up on wanting us to give you the exact legal language, but...

No, you can't make me

I'm done arguing this, this is what the law has been since at least 2010, if not whichever law was prior to that (SHVA I think) If you think I'm wrong, call Dish and argue with them until you're blue in the face, they aren't going to give you an out of market replacement

I don't know how else to put it, Dish cannot import a distant network station if that network station exists in your local market. If they could, they'd just find some po-dunk station owner in North Dakota and triple his income by using his signals for every subscriber in the country and not pay...

I was only referring to the legality of what the satellite provider is allowed to distribute to you, I was not trying to claim that it's illegal for you to receive another city's stations with an antenna. That should've been obvious

It's not a contractual issue, it's a legal one. It's illegal for them to import a station for a network that exists in your market. The clause you are quoting refers to markets that don't have every network. Some small markets only have two or three network affiliates. Take a tiny market like...

Yes, your ability to put up an antenna large enough to pick up the stations over the air have nothing to do with it. If you live in the designated DMA, that station is the only one you can receive legally

looking at this purely as NBCSN being "weak" is the wrong way. Comcast is looking at their entire portfolio. Between all the channels they have (USA, Syfy, E!, Bravo, Oxygen, Olympics Network, Golf, NBCSN) think about how much original content is there vs. what is just re-runs The market for...

Well they're already not at an affordable mass market price. They need to do those things if they're going to keep charging a premium It's going to take some investment to get to that point, because they need to replace equipment to get rid of SD duplicates, etc; and it would take some...

I honestly don't understand why Dish and/or DirecTV haven't positioned themselves as a premium high quality TV service. And I don't understand why the MVPDs (meaning Dish/DirecTV/cable) haven't worked with the program providers to re-sell the new streaming services It's silly that paying a...

I'm staying in my parents' camper for a month or so while my under construction house is completed. They have a tailgater and a Wally that I'd like to get going along with hooking up an antenna. My question is, can I use a diplexer with the Tailgater? I'm pretty well versed in satellite setup...

Hey guys, I am moving (like, seriously real physically moving) from Birmingham to Atlanta in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to decide on whether to try to shoehorn Dish into my apartment or just go with Google Fiber. It all basically hinges on whether or not I can get Birmingham locals. The...

Charlie very obviously thought he was going to either sell or buy another wireless company. Now, he's coming up against FCC deadlines and has to do something, and he's either pissed off or let slip away any potential targets If he truly is insisting on running whatever comes out of it, he's...

That is different though. Just because Dish waives ETFs and bends/breaks the rules doesn't mean squat about the ability to enforce the contracts. Sometimes it's in their interest to just wash their hands of a situation or otherwise to make a customer happy. That doesn't mean the contracts...

Just because you didn't read it doesn't mean you didn't sign the contract. Claude doesn't have a point, I don't care if he was a dish retailer for a thousand years, he's not a contract lawyer, and I guarantee a fortune 500 company has their ducks in a row on this issue

I've got news for you, signing a contract on a digital device is just the same as signing on a piece of paper. As are checking check boxes and then hitting "submit" or "I agree" online https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Signatures_in_Global_and_National_Commerce_Act

Guide data comes from Dish, over the satellite stream. They do not gather any guide data from the OTA signal at all. Dish has to pay for the guide data regardless of whether or not they are carrying the channels on satellite or not. The guide data disappearing when a channel is "off" Dish is...
