He said he saw a scroll across his TV that said he may lose his CBS channel..really not that hard to understand
I bet some Dish customers are already pissed with losing Turner channel's for a while and just need another mishap to drop it completely
This would be it if they lose football if their CBS is O&O.

The point I was attempting to make earlier was; I saw a scroll running across my NBC channel last evening saying, our Bay Area/Northern California, Comcast Sports Net Channel 41209 was in danger of going dark Monday do to a dispute with Dish TV... Just more of the same, but more specifically the channel carries the San Francisco Giants games, 49er football media events, local sports personalities, etc.
I really think this constant barrage of disputes between Dish TV and whoever has become troubling for the paying customer. Like many I enjoy the Dish equipment and system, but these disputes have complicated my thinking in regard to the reliability and viability of Dish TV. Obviously Dish TV is having issues on multiple fronts with it's providers of programming. If there were only a single dispute I could chalk that up to a broken negotiation, but multiple disputes suggest a deeper inner company problem coupled with programer relations.
Perhaps I should have started a new thread for the Bay Area viewers, but I feel the issues are relevant to everyone. So sorry for the confusion by some earlier.

You act like you are new around here, which you are not. These disputes affect mostly those who chose be bothered, and like to mouth off about it. To some of us, these disputes are just a passing thing which will ultimately be resolved and we save our breath for other things.

It does seem as if they are on the same page right now, and hoping they do settle. There are a lot of features CBS has offered other companies in the past, that I'm sure a lot of us would love to see on dish. If they are not to be offered on Dish, then I sure hope dish is getting a much better rate on the channels than the other companies.
Or neither wanted the headache of a blackout and continued negotiations over Thanksgiving weekend. Think of the press if it were announced negotiations were on hold over the weekend and their mutual customers were blacked out missing their football.
I wouldn't read too much into it. I'd still bet the stations go dark for at least a few days.
Yeah, I hate the bull s**t the stations dish out as well. Isn't that the bull s**t scroll you read on your screen, from the station?
It was on NBC SF, they carry some Giants games also and are affiliated in someway with Comcast Sports net. The scroll was amateurish looking and grainy....weird.
After watching a comedy sketch about Comcast I guess they truly don't give a f**k which
they should come out and say it

The only thing I read into this is that Dish unfortunately has all these contracts expiring at the same time. So far it has been only a single dispute since only turner channels went dark. The likelihood of it remaining a single dispute is low. But I don't attribute that to a deeper Dish problem. Both CBS and Comcast want a lot of money, Dish isn't just going to agree to that. Ideally it's resolved without a dispute, but in the long run, a dispute that keeps overall cost down is probably better for both Dish and consumers.
