That's what the "terse" joint press release seemed to imply to me. They didn't announce a new contract, only that the channels are being restored and tnt/tbs are being extended.

Surprises me that Dish would agree to an expire date that gives Turner maximum leverage (March Madness). Potential for maximum ugly in the Spring.
How much you wanna bet we are having this same discussion about a blackout the night before this expires?

Yup. Straight from CNN on that: http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/21/media/turner-dish-extension/index.html?iid=HP_LN
Damn... I wasn't missing them at all and was hoping to get more discounts out of Dish cause of them being gone after my current ones run out.
Edit: wait this is for several months!! WOOO *rolls eyes* I would just they take them off and Dish stick to their guns and not give discounts to anyone really...just a few dollars cut off the bill would be fine.
CNN (channel 200) is not showing up when I log into dishanywhere.com on my computer, but it does show on the dishanywhere app.
I'm sure this group will find something. We are good at that.
While the deal to make those nets available to Dish subscribers is temporary – sources familiar with both companies said the extension is for several months and will extend into 2015 -- perhaps the biggest benefit of the extension is that it will avoid a blackout of TNT and TBS, whose contracts were expected to expire on Dec. 5.

with the return of the channels that were pulled and the avoiding a blackout, i wonder if a long term deal with be reached by the time the short term deal ends. i hope so.
now Dish can put full focus on settling with CBS to get a new long term deal in place and NBCUniversal to keep the Comcast SportNet RSNs in the markets affected.

First question now is will they reach a deal before the NCAA Tournament? I told my wife that I will buy cable during the tournament if Turner pulls the channels during March. I will not be without March Madness.
However, I will not switch permanently.
Second question - Is there a way to update the program guide beyond two shows or do I just have to wait?

Just wait.... On older receivers -- I am presuming you have a Hopper -- you could arrow-right on that channel in the guide and kinda "force" it to pull more guide data. I don't think this works on the Hopper.
Doesn't work on the hopper. Right now on TCM, it says "DISH" for all but the current and next movie.
