Now we can laugh at everyone that went to all the trouble of switching to the dreadful Directv LOL

I can't agree Direct TV is anywhere near dreadful, they would be my second choice to Dish for a carrier. But those of us who have been on the forums for a long time know every carrier can and does lose channels for awhile. I don't deny Dish does or seems to more often, but most of the time they are back. NY RSN's and AMC would be the biggest exceptions. (I don't see AMC coming back any time soon, though some analysts do) Those who stayed, who really wanted the BTN made out quite will in some cases. They got discounts and now their games. It became a minor inconvenience at worst, for some actually worked out well. Those that really want all the AMC programming might not agree, but others probably made out well with a Roku, discounts, and still can watch their more popular program(s) other places.
It was important that Dish got the BTN back if only because of losing AMC recently. I was critical of them losing BTN actually more than AMC and I could not care any less about the BTN. But it seemed to me this was important to work out, and predicted it would after a week or two. My gut tells me this time it was not just the BTN that "blinked", I have a feeling Dish also made some concessions.
