LOL!

Dish Network broke laws, and didn't stop when asked to stop.
DirecTV broke laws and DID stop when asked to stop.

Dish is being punished. DirecTV isn't.

Please see numerous threads on the topic. Closing.

unable to reply to my last question

I was unable to reply to an answer to my question about Dish having to drop distant locals. If it was illegal and Directv stopped carrying distant locals as now dish is told to how is it i've read that people can go to Driectv fcor the distant locals. How can they offcer something that they aren't allowed to offer and don't carry?
