Like 1 out of a million? Sooo you're telling me there's chance.....
at least for fun there will be a closely watched uplink on Wednesday, just to see, that would be great though of there was
Don't they test (whatever is changing) before it goes live? The contract runs out on the 30th.
Correct me please but reading a article, article also states PAC 12 channel would go dark as well? They fall under Disney as well? Basically the article I am reading, bar owner in California has dish because of PAC 12 and is worried it would be pulled?
I didn't think so either, poorly written article big shocker! and not sure where this bar owner got information that PAC 12 would be removed
Pac 12 deal with Dish was signed last year. He probably saw some of the recent coverage of DirecTV and Pac12 not agreeing on terms.
Lets do some math.. How many times does .50 go in to $5.00? That's how many other channels I could get compared one way over priced espn channel.
Time for some sport packages. So if you want it you can pay for it.
Oh boy, just another 7 days to go till we find out which way it will go. Can't wait to see how it all ends.
Here's a question for everyone, if Dish does happen to drop all the Disney owned channels how long are you willing to hang in there until you switch to another provider? I'm willing to hang in there for about a month before I decide it's time to make a change. It's going to take a lot for me to switch from my Hopper set up and pay a cancellation fee.
No I won't switch . It will work itself out and besides it is another opportunity to get freebies from DISH to stay.
I don't see myself switching as well. If it does happen and I don't think it will and am going with Scott's gut
I have a two Hopper/one Joey set up and I think we will live without Disney for the short term for sure Now would I call and discuss some programming credits, that I would.

The problem with that math is that it doesn't consider how much that $.50 would go up if ESPN was no longer factored into every package. Drop ESPN from any package and many current subs would dump that package.
This is not correct. PAC12 was done last September and has zero to do with Disney. Reporting fail!
Seems to be the same debate over and over again. The people who don't watch sports complain and the ones who do defend it by saying they don't watch the other channels out there. I'm a big sports fan and am willing to pay but I also watch a lot of other channels. I can understand why people want sports moved into a different group since they cost so much more. It would be different if they were more comparable in price but it's not even close.
The posts should continue to become more interesting, maybe over the weekend good news will be leaked
