Dear Disney/ESPN and Dish ...



And at this point no news is no news.

any updates with whats going on with dish and disney?i appreciate it very much.

Yes, Dish and Disney still haven't signed an agreement. An agreement is expected something in the near, short-term, or long-term future. I'm starting a rumor that Disney is delaying because they have read this thread and think that if you continue asking this question, Dish subs will gladly pay twice the billing rate just to get you to stop.

Thanks for your appreciation.

Well it has been 5 months going on 6 months since this thread started. I predict we might still be in a holding pattern till next August .

I'm starting to think that, too. To coincide with SEC Network and football - do it all at once.

Also wonder if upgrades are needed, that we don't actually have the room for all of those HD feeds in the existing set-up (I'm sure one of you techie types will correct me if this is totally off-base). My rationale - if part-time RSNs are still an issue (including PART TIME MAIN feed for PAC12 Network???), can we really assume Dish could flip the switch to add all that (what, like 7 new HD feeds?) with the existing set-up?

Stop asking. No one knows. We'll hear either by a press release or in the Uplink report.

IMO if we don't see it by Beginning of February I say August also!!

 

[Teehar]

Nah,I think it will be finalized this week or next.

But couldn't they release an app with news on when they're releasing more apps?

I found this which has some interesting information about the Dish-Disney situation.

 

[satjay]

Pretty sure he does, as he had had questions about a Hopper he has had

I don't know why I didn't think to post that link.

The logos for ESPN/Disney are still in the guide. I think that's good news.
