Don't think that applies to Sling customers considering that's what I was talking about.

Nothing indicates that NBCSN is part of this that I can see from the website.
In general, I could lose all those they list, with little harm, but Bravo and USA are pretty popular. And some probably like watching MSNBC as well. Losing NBCSN would be devastating (to me), but other than local NY RSNs, Dish hasn't permanently lost anything, so I won't lose any sleep over this until the EPL goes black.

Is Directv seeing growth in subscribers ? Are cable companies ? My impression is that the majority of customers who cancel their TV subscription go with nothing vs a competitor.
I think Cable and Directv gained subs last quarter but TV providers overall lost subs
Most of the growth was from AT&T cannibalizing their UVerse TV product and converting the subs to DirecTV.
Yes. Those reasons are why I posted early this isn't one DISH will be too successful at if the channels are taken down. We don't know what Comcast is asking, it may be more than just about money as we see has been the case recently so to be fair to DISH knowing that could change my mind. (Streaming rights etc...) But if there is a way DISH can get past some of what they want and get it done without the channels dropping this time I think they should do that. I also think some channels are not up as yet? So it appears the attempt is to get them all under a new contract at the same time. With some shows like Suits not starting again till the Summer maybe DISH can get by with some channels being pulled for a short time. But still these are not channels like Viacom, some shows on these channels are watched by a decent percentage of people.
Directvs biggest problem is they are way to expensive.
They could redeem themselves with a new pricing structure.
Lower those Premiums, Make all packages available with and without RSNs.
Stop charging that ridiculous first receiver fee.
Dish would need to add far more HD sports content and keep the price the same.
That's far more difficult IMO.
If Dish had everything that's Directv has programming wise.
No doubt in my mind Dish would be more expensive.
For as much of these Disputes there are with dish, they should be far cheaper then they currently are.
If I wasn't under the good 2 year price lock, the difference would be minimal.

NBC threatens to black out Dish on Sunday if no renewal deal is madehttp://www.fiercecable.com/story/nb...ish-sunday-if-no-renewal-deal-made/2016-03-15
Well mine would be a little more then $5, but I understand your point.
Except It's more like $15 at my house with the 1st receiver fee and the over $6 RSN fee.

all i am doing is showing you guys some of the articles that are talking about this dispute all i am doing it to get you guys informed on what is going on.please dont yell all i am trying to do it to help you guys out on the forum.
just checked my dtv bill, no first receiver fee
Watch DIRECTV on Multiple TVs
2 TVs at $7; Save $7 off 1st TV
and my regional sports is 3.63
also have free hd for life
Okay but that's you, that's not the norm anymore.
The norm is $7 first receiver and $15 advanced receiver fee.
And my RSN Free is $6.63.
Your prices are unobtainable by a New customer.
The premiums are also $19 for HBO
And $14 for the rest.
That adds up.

First off that is the BUSINESS side of Bell...not residential
You also have to realize that alot of the Canadian TV stations with names that we have here in the states are NOT the same channel. Alot of them are owned by the same 3 or 4 companies in Canada and just the name is the same for principal...but older programming.
