DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

  • 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!

Up next is DirecTV's deal with ESPN and ABC. I wonder where that's going to go and how well that it will go now that the Dish deal is done. I think Dish getting these networks are good for DirecTV subs. You can expect DirecTV to get a similar deal. I especially want the Watch ESPN stuff on DirecTV. While, it seems like DirecTV is following Dish's footsteps in this one. In this case I agree with it.
 
I was the one who suggested that a concession could be a longer delay in Autohop (I think I even mentioned 3 days). So Autohop still stands but is just delayed a couple days. Seems a good compromise to me.

For all we know, Disney wanted AutoHop completely dead. Maybe this is actually a win?

Actually, if it was a true compromise, both sides will claim "win".

Dish will have to completely re-write their autohop ads/claims,to me that is a win for that evil mouse.Not too mention that Disney pretty much got what they wanted financially.My bets are on pundits claiming the mouse is the winner,but in the end we the customers are the real losers.

I'm shocked!!The mouse kicked Charlie's proverbial butt! Why does he continue to ruffle all these feathers only to relent in the end?:rolleyes:

Because he's making money and getting what he really wants in the end.
