I sure hope your being sarcastic,otherwise.......
You guys do realize that people might not watch AMC except for the particular series they watch, and since Walking Dead hasn't been an issue til now, there will be some that only notice it recently.

The Walking Dead season 3 (16 epis)doesn't even start until Oct. 14th this year. So you have another month before you have figure out how you get it. Move to D or cable or buy via other source.
i keep hearing people say to buy from another source
if your paying for it from someplace that is the same as your dish price going up imho
I'm just stating what you have already done. By what you have listed in your signature you already have made that choice.
Glad you posted that. I agree but........
1. At least for awhile people got some very decent discounts and a free Roku that offset that. At some point it does begin to cost you to buy them.
2. It didn't raise my rates. For all those that do not watch, or only watched if it was there but don't care enough to make an effort - we are saving money then. If you switch to Direct TV go get it, new customer discounts aside, you will pay quite a lot more to watch it. (Not just because of AMC)
i am paying @ $7 a month more after all discounts, and that is $3 for whole home, and $6 for a second room
so no directv is actually very similar in price to dish
actually before the hopper came out directv was much cheaper if you had 2 dvrs due to dish fees
it came from the up to dishes $17 per dvr fee vs the $6 directv
fees per dvr varied from $10 each to $17
so you started in the hole
Oh, silly me, I was looking at the bottom line, not just individual fees.
If you are going to compare fees, the $17 dual dvr fee is actually for 2 tvs, so you'd have to compare the $17 to $12 (two DTV outlets), or 1 outlet ($10 for the 612 vs. $6 for DTV).
Once you figure in the difference in programming costs, it's a wash.
thats 1 hd, one sd
but overall the bottom lines end up being very similar. the package prices look diff, but what dish gives up in a package they make up in fees
SD or HD, DTV still charges $6 per outlet, correct?
So, you agree, it is not "much cheaper", as you initially claimed.
it depends reallySD or HD, DTV still charges $6 per outlet, correct?
So, you agree, it is not "much cheaper", as you initially claimed.
but for the normal user its not, its similar
dtv is $6 per reciever it can be dvr or non dvr sd or hd
I guess i will get the walking dead on my roku. dish told me they would not reimburse me the cost though.
it kinda is because they are reimbursing other customers for shows they bought.Talk about a "horror story"!!!
But you will have to wait until the season is over to get it on the roku. AMC said streaming would be delayed at least a month matching just like how Netflix has to wait for new releases.
Guess they were on to Dishes game of giving out roku.
I agree with you buddy. My wife loves the show so I have to buy the season or at least each episode. (if the wife ain't happy, nobody happy.
) Was looking forward to a reimbursement like they told me they would do back when the takedown occurred. Of course there is still plenty of time for something to change so I won't sweat it just yet.
