I'm GUESSING because whoever brought the suit against Dish didn't pay Fox anything (at least not directly) in order to get the channels. Since they didn't pay anything, what would they sue for?I don't understand why Fox isn't part of the suit,unless they offered to allow dish to keep the programming on while they negotiated?
Can this go anywhere? Dish almost always gives money back for a missing channel, if asked. If they allow this through, that would seem to open the flood gates for any transmission breach, regardless of cause. And it was only for a month. How much value is there to that anyway, $0.20?

But...how many actually ask?In all honesty it shouldn't be that way.If not for these very forums,I wouldn't have known to call in during the amc dispute.Sure dish treated me very well after I made the call,but I'd bet the vast majority didn't have a clue to call in. I'm not a lawyer lol if Dish can prove that Fox forced them to pull the channels or pay the higher fees,then Fox would seem to be at fault imo.
I haven't read the suit, but I'm guessing it's for a breach of contract. Dish customers have a contract with Dish not Fox, so there's no contractual liability for Fox related to this.
People who turned to the channel to watch something and were upset enough to call to see why they weren't getting the channel. The people this would have floated by were the ones who didn't watch either channel.But...how many actually ask?

I agree if you stay in the class and the class wins, if you're lucky, you'll get .05. How much of the monthly fee is for those two channels (what you're "out" and POSSIBLY entitled to a refund on)? Then take out the expenses for the lawyers, THEN pay the lawyers.

Lets see,I once got a check for the grand total of .02 from ebay motors,not even close to the paper it was printed on,then years later I was pleasantly surprised by a check for $48 from a class suit against robocall.This suit falls into the .02 cents category,maybe $1 or $2.
I don't understand why Fox isn't part of the suit,unless they offered to allow dish to keep the programming on while they negotiated?If dish simply pulled them then I suppose I could see a case for the case.
Either way I'm not fretting it,if I can remove myself from the suit without a written letter I will,if I have to write a letter then poop on it.
Yeah, pretty much the same for me: if I have to move off the couch? Sue, baby, sue.
IIRC, I got a check for like $3.48 one time for a rewritable cd's lawsuit or something. Been a while. Bet the compensation here is similar.
Personally, I don't see any downside to being in the class. Even if every Satellite Guys Dish subscriber opted out of the class, I don't see that making a huge difference in any settlement (I assume a settlement will be $x/subscriber).So I'm not going to lie but I'm almost to lazy to write a letter...but should I make it a point to get taken off this lawsuit???
You never got them back yet?
