You can't deny Direct has a better record than Dish at resolving these disputes either before removals, or shortly after. That said however, I might worry if I was a Direct Subscriber because I don't know if I remember Direct being this aggressive and outward about it. Might mean they are far apart. FWIW, just as I do with Dish, unless I get information to contrary, I side with Direct. Don't overpay.
If they lose direct broadcast access, you'll probably still get the games, but via the league-provided standard def feeds.
Hmmm, something I don't do .
I don't go to OTHER forums LOOKING for TROUBLE or starting it...
I'll read over there from time to time, but thats about it.

Fox scored the world cup from espn. I wonder if this has anything to do with it! Maybe fox is asking more because of this? Only speculation and nothing official!

the only ones that would affect me are Fox Sports West, Prime Ticket, Fox Movie Channel and NatGeo
I would miss the Red Wings on Fox Sports Detroit, but that would be it...
I don't see it being shut down, still a longtime to go before they need to come to an agreement.

Just saw this one Fox's Keep My Nets site. 
Plus, soon, could lose the following local FOX stations:

I thought Directv and Fox both were owned by Rupert Murdoch? Doesn't Directv own's Starz also? If they are under the same roof wouldn't be easier to work out a deal.

And since baseball season is over and there is no basketball season, the only sport to be affected is hockey.
I'm not on either side because I do not know the details. I don't like accusing any one or any company of being greedy. Making a profit is the main purpose of any company. I will not call it greed when they are simply doing their job to negotiate the best possible deal for themselves. One can easily call DirecTV greedy for doing the same (trying to pay the least amount possible).
I do have a clue. D* has always tried to run the show, guess what, not anymore. Hope they do get droped and droves of people leave for other providers. If not for my DNS I would've been gone long ago. I don't see the big deal anyway, their gonna send us the bill for it so just do it!
