I can see why non sports fans couldn't care less about the ESPN disputes but AMC's original programming has been solid and my contract is up so it won't cost me anything if i switched. It will be a matter of time before threads come up about TLC, A&E and the History Channel.
If you have not yet cancelled Dish, I suggest you wait until AFTER you get Uverse installed and you decide if you can live with the PQ and their DVR.
+1 go with Direct before U-Verse imo
Directv doesn't have H2 or ID in HD. Those two channels are a must for my house.
Although the outcome is looking grim, we have plenty of time before TWD starts back up in October to see what actually happens before deciding on switching to Directv or cable. I'm sure there are die hard fans out there that don't post on these forums who really don't want to wait until possibly Fall 2013 to see season 3 (cause I'm guessing season 2 will be released on dvd and Netflix streaming right before new season starts up) and also don't want to download them from itunes or Amazon.
While a fan of TWD, I am WAAAAAYYYYY more invested in Breaking Bad. I can't miss the final season of that show which begins airing this summer I believe.
Only AMC show I'm watching is The Pitch and not really sure if that will be available on Netflix in the future.. either way, not worth switching...
Breaking Bad is a fantastic show. We started watching late, but once we did, could not stop. Netflix was great for that. Everyone we have recommend the show to has ended up in the same predicament.
TWD is good. A few episodes were a little stale this past season, but the show is still WAY better than a lot of the other crap out there.
Couldn't agree more about Breaking Bad not Netflixs. If you know where to look you don't need Netflix.

Had to go there for seasons 4, lol.
we are strongly considering dropping dish over this, but it is not an easy decision for two reasons:
1.) The equipment is in place and we really like it.
2.) DIRT
Maybe DIRT should be the #1 reason. Issues are easily resolved through DIRT.

Be honest! You know that AMC plays true classics such as Die Hard with a Vengeance, and The Man Without A Face. AMC should stand fore American Movie Channel for people who don't get Encore or Flix.
That's an honest approach, not a knee jerk reaction. If Direct TV is where you would go I don't see how it can be bad, just different with minus and pluses. Cable would be the unknown, or known and not good.... lol
