Of course without sites like this, no one would even know there was a negotiation going on right now. Of course only a tiny fraction of Dish viewers even find sites like this, so for most people, it is business as usual without the worry.

Of course SD looks crappier now because you have a HD set, not a SD tube tv when there was no HD coverage or mentions of HD, and even when HD started, it was too damn expensive at the time(think plasma sets for 5-6000 bucks).
In one of my living rooms, yes I have two (actually 3, but one substitutes as my daughters' playroom) I have the same TV I bought at a black Friday sale back in 2006. That's my comparison. SD has become worse. That TV is a 1080i LCD Set. I upgraded to HD a week later. So, like I said, SD is purposely worse today. And, it's time to kill it.
100% agreed,SD is way more compressed via dish and dtv,than it ever used to be.Makes no difference if you have tube,lcd,or plasma.Some of our family and neighbors still have sd only sets,and the video quality is atrocious compared to what it used to be.For a comparison,try a netflix show or movie in sd,then compare it to a show on dish or dtv in sd,you will definitely see a difference.
Your exactly right. I would have had no idea on a lot of stuff without this site.
Your absolutely right about

When I loose signal and I know it's not local weather, I come here first to find out if others are having the same problem.

Yes, Dish has PAC12. Direct has NFL ST, ESPNU HD, MLB Extra Innings, YES Network, Sportsnet New York, NBC Premier League Extra Time, and at least a few other RSNs that I can't think of offhand.
Fox News is really great. I speak for most people.
Nothing is going to happen on ESPN until next month.

Thats what im afraid of that they are just trying to get the set up we have now...no way disney goes for that though
Maybe this will be the week that all this will be put to rest and some sort of new agreement between DISH/Disney will be reached....... that will include the missing HD channels..
More likely Disney is packaging ESPN in a way that pretty much means Dish has to buy every channel both in SD and HD or pay more. The court documents from the last dispute showed that Disney gave discounts for more channels being carried as a volume discount. The more subs you have with more channels the bigger the discount.
