That is the reason CSN Houston went belly up..... no one carried it but comcast, so unless you could get comcast you had no choice

Yes and I have had Comcast in the past and will never again. I have never had Direct TV and based on what I have seen there is not all that much difference between Direct and Dish so I wouldn't have problems switching. In fact as a new customer I could probably get a good deal and much newer equipment. Still, I am happy with Dish overall and would rather stay put.

I just couldn't stand the idea of being with ATT. That's why I'll probably never go DTV. I am really hoping that the buyout really falls through.

I don't I wish it fails
That money could of been more useful for something else
especially hardware and programming

Not AT&T breathing down our necks or if they ever touch our receivers and ruin it,

I don't trust anything AT&T does as much as they pitch their fantasy ideas

Even though I have wireless with them
I'm close to switching to T-Mobile.

I used to have a side business doing stuff like helping people install VOIP (and fixing it so that all the phone jacks were wired to the VOIP), setting up home networks, etc. I had one customer convert from AT&T to Comcast. Had to go out to his house and re-connect their VOIP... Comcast tech completely screwed it up.

He converted for Rockets games though, basically. That and a new customer deal.

based on the statement from the Dish spokesperson, it appears to me anyway, that Dish isn't interested. So another major market in which Dish has decided it has no interest in that market's sports fans.

Does that say they sold it for $1000??? Hell, I would have bought it for that much. LOL. Even if I just put on replays or something I would likely make my money back, and push it to the MVPD's for cheap, as long as it just hit every home. $0.03/sub. Worth it, and around $2.43M a month from all the providers combined. That wouldnt be a bad deal for someone just getting in the game. Now, just fantasizing here about owning a channel, this is not serious, and I know that was likely a typo or some special deal.

"A Dish spokesperson noted, "We're interested in high-quality content at an appropriate value. If that balance can be struck, we're willing to consider it."

I'm going to give them a couple of weeks to strike a deal. If not I will see you guys on the Direct TV forum.

 

[ChadT41]

I really don't see this happening. Who knows though, it may.

Well since Directv took over and converted to Root Sports SW they might consider a deal with Dish

But they have other issues to worry about first.
