Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.
Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.
Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

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

Haven't you ordered Directv YET???

Probably find out how nice Dish and Disney are to each other around September. So check back then.
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!).
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.
Disney should have never bought ESPN then this would have never happened. Who use to own ESPN lets say back in the 90's?
