Since Scott isn't posting any news updates (that I've seen) about the Dish vs CBS dispute, I can confirm that the Chicago CBS affiliate just got dropped.
The screen message says: "Sorry for the interruption of service. There is no need to call us. We are aware that this TV station is temporarily unavailable and will have this channel back as quickly as possible."
Looks like Dish is going to have a blackout... I wonder how long it will be. Given that they have had extensions makes me think they are pretty close, but CBS does not want to give any more.
Oh well. I'll just have to not watch CBS again tonight, or any broadcast network.
These downloads of Downton Abbey Season 5 will have to suffice for now.
Then, it's back to Netflix and Amazon Prime.
