I love how everyone hates Dish.

 

[darrencp22]

You create your own breaks.

How many lawyers does Dish have these days??lol

Hey, how about a class action suit by E* subscribers for breach of contract so that the US Supreme Court can eventually decide when "soon" is?

 

[darrencp22]

Is it coincidence this was filed on opening day, the 2nd opening day without EI?

Maybe he meant soon in Geologic terms.....

 

[tsduke]

Man this is getting rediculous!

 

[darrencp22]

I bet Dish will be sued aagain very "soon".

Looks like Charlie got cranky when they wouldn't renew EI in 2007 by trying to hold back some of the last monies from the 2006 subscriptions.....

What is the shortest list in the world?

Answer: A list of the companies that are not suing Dish

 

[mike123abc]

All big companies are sued a lot. The federal government is the most sued in the US followed by Walmart. Dish is probably a ways down the line in the number of suits.

That being said looks like it is a dispute over royalties from 2006. Probably a dispute over the number of subs to MLBEI or something. One would think that it would be pretty easy to figure out and settle, but apparently not...

I predict this lawsuit may be settled, "soon."

:haha

This just in......MLB EI is comming to E*....."soon". just kiddin. I know a lot of big business get sued but E* seems to have a knack of being sued a lot. And by big companies like TIVO! Or MLB! Or by BIG NETWORKS! E* complained about the price of MLB EI, thats because they're getting sued every month. And what chaps my hide is I live in the SF Bay Area and comcast has MLB EI in my area. I would not be surprised if dish lost all the sports packages that they have left. For what that's worth.
