The only thing worth leaving DirecTV for is Verizon FIOS and maybe AT&T UVerse.
I have yet to come across a regular coaxial cable system with as many HD channels as DirecTV.

Bye from Directv. If someone posts a legit reasoning on why they would leave a provider (like when I left Dish and got Directv) that is different
But to post that you are switching to Crapcast even though nothing has happened here yet basically means your mind is made up. Those posts get the answer I gave. Now if its been say 2 weeks after the channels are dropped well then that is a different story
I'm a DISH subscriber (for over 14 years). I'm perusing this thread because a friend of mine expressed concern for loss of FX and thus missing Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story. My advise to her was to relax and that these disputes/negotiations are typically resolved in the eleventh hour. Regardless, I assured her I'd hook her up with any episodes she might miss.
Please don't take my question as anything but an honest, albeit probably naive, question. I'm not here to play fanboy.
It has been stated a number of times in this thread that DirecTV has a better track record for reaching a resolution prior to actually pulling the stations. Does DirecTV raise rates quicker and higher than DISH?

After the DVR fee increases I don't see DISH ever losing the rate increase crown. Not really the thread for this though.
Did DishNetwork ever settle with MSG? Not asking to be a smart alec. I waited for them to settle and when I missed a few Sabres games I switched to DirecTV and now that I've had D* a while I often wonder why I didn't switch sooner. 
MRV is awesome heheheh

Not exactly. DirecTV authorizes the receivers to tune the RSN and PPV channels that carry the games directly, and the 7xx channels are just guide listings with pointers to the source channel. Since your receiver is already authorized to watch FS Detroit because it's your local RSN, when you hit the 7xx pointer to that channel you can watch it.
Broadcast exclusivity. The networks like MSG, FOX SportsNet, and Comcast SportsNet all pay to have exclusive local broadcast rights of the game in the local market; this is important for advertising sales. Center Ice works as a package because exclusive broadcast rights are only sold for the local market, and the NHL is the ultimate owner of all of the game content. The NHL can sell you the feed to broadcasts in any market but your own.
Interesting....I just saw an ad on the local FOX station saying that they may also be pulled on the 1st. Not sure if this fear mongering from from FOX via the loca stations or what. I thought the locals were not going to be effected. Its the Tucson local KMSB.
Seen 1 or 2 FUD spots today, not long enough for you to even digest the information... just 'directv going to take your channels away, here's some shows, some channel logos and a website'.

Kurt Sutter from SOA said Direct and FOX would be meeting all this weekend to try and get something done. I think it's safe to say nothing got done, we may be losing FOX for a while. I just don't see this getting done tomorrow if it hasn't all weekend.
I can't for the life of me see how this is legal. Fox is blatantly LYING to Directv's customers in an attempt to influence the negotiations. It's a textbook example of libel.
