DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

[syphix]

Its listed as at120 and above on the dish website now.... http://www.dish.com/entertainment/packages/americas-top-120/#channels

Excellent. Good to know. They're online CSRs appear to have that info now. They were stating AT200+ before.

Well, I am told AMC HD channel 131 is in the top120 officially, this is not from a CSR.

(as soon as I am given it, I will post where to see that.......)

Of course, not my point, in your own two posts you asked about it in two different ways, what package now, and what package after. If the CSR did not know about the change to 120, the answer for now would be top200, very understandable answer since this all happened so quickly. In fact as of just a couple of hours ago I am betting it was officially in the Top200.....

I had a feeling AMC would now be in all the core packages.

I had a feeling AMC would now be in all the core packages.

Of course. Increased viewership had to be part of the settlement.

Everybody keeps posting how Dish got such a huge bargain. Perhaps they did as far as the lump sum payment is concerned. But, the carriage deal is quite likely a very good one in AMC's favor.

I just gave Dish's facebook page a view and it's hilarious. There are a lot of people who comment before they think.

It's comforting to know that never happens here.... :up

Let's hope it stays there. every other provider has it in their entry level packages.

What are the prices of the entry level packages of the other guys, though?

And as always in such discussions, we will never know.

While flipping through the channels I just saw that Dish is showing the first Episode of Walking Dead season 3 on channel 455 right now. This is one of the sports PPV channels but its free. The episode has already started so it's probably too late to help most people but I thought it was interesting. This is not just a remapped AMC feed because I am recording Halloween on AMC right now.

Edit: they are playing it again at 10:00 on channel 455 so anyone who missed the first episode because of the dispute has a chance to record it.

They are doing a 1,2 repeat before ep3 on on Sunday night.

Looks like it will be in AT120 per the free preview page as well: http://www.mydish.com/perks/free-preview/

In addition, it is listed on the channel lineup card as the first channel under AT120:

It is also in Dish Latino Plus and above. (I think I typed Dos earlier as the pack it was in originally, but I think it was in Plus before actually).

I understand that it's in free view until 11/21. I was asking (as we're others on the Facebook page) what package it would be in AFTER that. And we were given two responses, as I posted above.

I don't consider free view a "package", as its only temporary and changes frequently.

Often times you get conflicting answers on the Facebook page. I used to notice that our own gpollock or a guy named Tony Gothard would straighten out any wrong responses by DISH staff. Hell, most of the time they'd be the ones to answer questions first.

Was AMC in any of the dish America packages before it got dropped? It does not look like it will be back in these packages after freeview is over.

No. It wasn't in Dish America Silver at least (as I had it before the dispute) and was never advertised for any of the DA packages.

If AMC is back where is Hell On Wheels? All I see is a bunch of horror shows.

Thanks

[Scherrman]

Right now AMC is doing a fearfest which makes sense because of Holloween. When is Hell on Wheels suppose to be on? Doesn't look like it started last year until Novemeber, so maybe it doesn't start this year until then.

WOW, thanks for the link. Found The Rifleman. Couldn't find it in Dish guide. I thought the series was over but found it for Nov 3rd.

Looks like Hell on Wheels ran from 8/12/12 thru 10/07/12. FearFest started on 10/13/12 and runs thru 10/31/12. Searching AMCtv.com does not show any airings for at least the next four weeks.
