Message: Losing HGTV and Food TV

[joefloyd]

A message just went across the bottom of my screen saying "Attention Dish Network Subscribers. Starting tonight, you will be losing two of you favorite channels. HGTV and Food Network. Don't miss...."
It just ended like that. It was in a red banner with white lettering.

What gives??

 

[KAB]

Just watched both channels...no such message.

 

[joefloyd]

I was watching Paula Deen on Food Network and it went by just and ended with "Don't miss" then went away. I rewound to read it again.

What?? is this a Joke?

I was watching Paula Deen on Food Network and it went by just and ended with "Don't miss" then went away. I rewound to read it again.

So when was it recorded?

 

[joefloyd]

Ths fact that I saw it (twice) is no joke. The fact that it was there may be a joke or someone adding something (at Dish or Food Network) as a joke.
My wife said "If that's true, then they can have this satellite back"

Probably another programmer/provider dispute getting ready to start up on oct 1st with cheapo chuck.

 

[joefloyd]

I was watching it live. I don't know when the show was recorded. I rewound it after it ended (DVR) to make sure I was really seeing it.

Just saw it on both channels at 7pm eastern 2 scrolls running directing you to visit:
I Love HGTV! News, Updates and More for Fans of HGTV
I Love Food Network! - News, Updates and More for Fans of Food Network

Same here, if Food Network goes, my wife is going to seriously pissed, and I have a feeling we'll be looking for a new provider.

It is Spelled Dish Network.

I don't think it said anything about Dish Network, I think the scrolls were to promote their new fan sites.

I have both channels recording now so I can see it myself.

 

[SkysTheLimit]

What I saw was this

"Attention Dish Network Subscribers. Starting tonight, you will be losing two of you favorite networks. HGTV and Food Network. Don't m...."
It just ended like that. It was in a red banner with white lettering.

 

[SkysTheLimit]

What makes you think it didn't say anything about Dish Network??

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Maybe they lit it up a day early.
