Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

[Jim5506]

which was a drop in the hat...

Master of the mixed metaphor, eh!

 

[johnissoevil]

It's not going to be that easy. Disney/ESPN will certainly try to appeal the ruling, so the wait for those HD channels could be longer.

 

[osu1991]

I seriously doubt Disney/ESPN appeal this ruling.

 

[whitewolf8214]

Anytime ESPN has to pay someone for screwing them it is good I doubt ESPN appeals the ruling also

Yes at this point I'm calling Bluegras a troll because he keeps hijacking threads. Now :focus:.

Lol. For some reason, bluegras is kinda amusing to me. I dunno, his enthusiasm is unsurpassed!

charlie 1- disney 0. nice......

Actually it is Disney 7 to Dish 1, Dish only won 1 out of 8 claims and got 5 million out of $150 million in the suit... Probably not even enough to cover the lawyers.

So does this mean we will never get ESPNU in HD? And get back the Disney Channels in HD?

Probably find out how nice Dish and Disney are to each other around September. So check back then.

 

[Poke]

Well let's hope they get this behind them and we can get those channels back.

 

[The Fat Man]

That would be a pleasant surprise.

Get the old ones back? I just hope we don't lose the ones we still have come September.

Yup thinking the same thing. September is when MNF returns on ESPN...sure hope the negotiations dont mess up MNF for Dish customers.

Who cares about MNF? It is the most overrated program in history. Heck, the entire NFL season is mostly pointless. It has become a mindless round robin. ESPN paid too darn much for it and I'd hate to see even normal sports fans have to pay a ridiculous price for ESPN partly because of MNF. I'm so tired of channels being held hostage by their parent companies for limited programming (especially a game that has about 15 minutes of actual game play and more commercials than a movie on AMC!).

I definitely care. I agree completely.

It will be interesting to see what happens now. I suppose they will come to an agreement quickly now for ESPN and we will have a price hike next year to cover it.

 

[reddice]

Disney should have never bought ESPN then this would have never happened. Who use to own ESPN lets say back in the 90's?
