Directv contract with Fox networks coming up...AGREEMENT REACHED

[Mr Tony]

why would you lose anything?

Belo contract also ends 11/1
Belo owns some local networks

 

[Mr Tony]

well I guess this part of my post originally was right

Also assume the part time ones would go too....like I say its just in the guide right now. I wont worry until maybe a week from Monday (Halloweenie)

 

[Mr Tony]

also the Mike White loop is now gone and the D* logo is back on those -1 channels

 

[Mr Tony]

VERY happy they got a deal done.

 

[Mr Tony]

Yep.one of my main reasons when I made the switch a few years ago.

my RSN in HD 24/7 and MLB Net were mine

 

[Mr Tony]

248-1 now says "Great News regarding FX" and says the agreement was reached

 

[CK SatGuy]

Glad to hear things worked out, but I'm curious to know who caved in the negotiations. We'll probably never find out though.

 

[stardust3]

I'm glad, maybe my phone will stop ringing now, people have been calling pretty regular asking if I knew what was going on.

 

[cave1376]

back to crying about adding more HD channels! lol i guess

Yea, like Nat Geo Wild HD.

I hope adding Nat Geo Wild HD is somewhere in the agreement.

Awesome news! Dish needs to take a cue from this and use it in their negotiations.

I switched to Comcast yesterday and couldn't be happier. I cannot wait to get one of those four tuner TiVo's!!! I'm SO excited! And I can still watch American Horror Story!!!!

Looks like you jumped the gun.

Does it mean my Directv bill will go up 40% now??LOL

ONLY Yours !

Well, I guess it ended up just as some of us have been stating all along.

D* is good at these type of things and rarely lose channels, they have a very good track record and they have continued down the same path this time !

Too all those that were scared about missing a channel for a few days and or going to jump to another provider, some of you already did, but you were looking to go anyways ...

You all can relax and quite worrying

D* is very good at keeping channels on the air. I have told many I did not think it would come down to them being without their programming. E* on the other hand would have been a high likelihood of being without & the propaganda machine saying we are working hard to restore your programming "soon".

Well, if form holds, the Belo stations should also be good to go on DIRECTV within the next few hours. That said, KING/5 Seattle was running "the crawl" some moments ago during their 7 PM program. Hadn't seen that lately.

Good to hear !

 

[Joe Capitano]

Don't get too excited. It wasn't the good kind.

ONLY Yours !

but what will the $$ be???

could have been used for a nice discount on NBA LP if the lock out ended and fox's were out till then.

Are you asking how much more your bill will be due to this settlement ?

D* price increases a few bucks every year in Feb/March. just like most TV providers, your bill will not go up any more than what it would normally go up because of this.

Now if only Direct TV could fix the programming guide on those channels so I can see what programs are on those channels...then everything would be just fine....
