AMC is part of Rainbow media, majority owner of the now defunct Voom Network, with whom Dish is now tied into a lawsuit. So, highly doubtful.

In a word NO cuz of what KAB said.

suck. would really like to watch next season of breaking bad in hd. at least they got us fx in hd in time for sons of anarchy.

Not only that, but Rainbow seems unwilling to give ANY of their channels up to potential competitors to Cablevision. Uverse and Fios also lack AMC and IFC, not to mention MSG HD. Verizon is suing over this issue (at least in regard to MSG).

However, cablevision has no trouble with fellow cable operators who don't compete, like Comcast and Time Warner.

Suck indeed...I can't believe I had a channel on Comcast that I won't be able to get w/ Dish when I return to subbing with them.

Damn the whole Voom debacle--I wish that hadn't flamed out! Double dammit that I'm not going to see my Mad Men in HD!

Actually, I'm pretty sure Time Warner doesn't get AMC HD either.

Actually, in Skokie, IL, they weren't too bad. Service was stable/good (esp in the terrible storms we experienced the last 8 mo), PQ was alright. Hilight was great OnDemand offerings, the suck was the hardware/interface (about 8 yrs behind, antiquated feeling).

I wish Dish would get some decent on demand system/content together to match the big cableco's, and, of course, AMC-HD...
