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!

I think you will see more of the niche channels being on demand and streaming only in the future. The TV board in the UK just announced their intentions to take BBC 3 off of OTA broadcasting and make it an internet only channel. The thinking is what popularity these channel have is with younger viewers who tend to watch most things on tablets or streaming services
 
I can't believe that I'm saying this, but there's no point to espn news in HD these days. When dish lost it, it had extra bars for specific stats. Now its like watching sports center 24/7. Too me the room could be used elsewhere.

I agree. With the amount of time that SportsCenter is on the regular ESPN channel I never feel the need to watch ESPNnews. They could drop the channel altogether and it wouldn't bother me much.
 
Yea ESPNnews in HD is a waste.But there are a few occasions when they air a game.It still boggles my mind that Dish is so hard pressed for space though.Trim back some ppv channels,hurry up the swap,or better yet,get another sat in orbit.

I felt the same way until I looked at the guide and found that when the other main channels have game programming on SportsCenter is usually on news. Also, other programming like 30 for 30s, Olbermann, SportsNation, etc. are often replayed there throughout the day...
