Dish will get a deal going with Fox Sports 1 soon so it will be able to sock it to ESPN when its contract expires October 1.
I have never seen such excitement over a new cable channel that Fox Sports 1 has gotten.
I hope Dish gets Fox Sports and then takes off ESPN off the air for a few months. I am tired of having to pay such high rates for channels I don't watch.
... And Im personally tired of hearing "I'm tired of paying for stuff I dont watch". Who cares (not me)? ...
Correct me guys if I am incorrect on this. The way Im understanding we are getting FOX SPORTS 1.
SPEED CHANNEL will be renamed FOX SPORTS 1.
Its getting renamed, but if Dish doesnt have a contract they will keep the old version without the new programming. And Im personally tired of hearing "I'm tired of paying for stuff I dont watch". Who cares (not me)? I pay almost $150 a month, I want my sports and do not care one bit that you dont watch them.

I'll just send you my bill during the 7 or 8 months of the year that I don't watch espn or fox sports programming, since you don't care the extra payments won't bother you.
If these were bundled in smaller better thought out packages instead of all or nothing, I think people would be a little more forgiving of the rate increases and channel disputes.

80 cents per sub...THAT is what is going on.As of right now, you are incorrect.
Dish Network, as well as DirecTV and TWC, have not yet closed a carriage deals for Fox Sports 1.
We are less than a week away from the launch of the channel. What the heck is going on?
Hey Mitch, We ALL pay for stuff we don't watch. As a non sports fan, you are not special, no matter what anyone involved in your upbringing told you to believe.
Look, its a freaking joke and I cant take anyone seriously that thinks a couple of channels worth a few bucks are really causing their bill to be so high. Joke. I see people with one or more hoppers maybe a joey floating around (paying those hardware fees) and they keep crying about ESPN, give it a rest... Pay tv is a luxury, if you cant afford it, go another route.
If you can't handle the small burden of the ESPN added cost, you probably should cut the cord. I dont bitch and whine about all the HD channels I never watch, so the non sports fans can stick it as far as Im concerned. They arent going to get any love trolling threads discussing an upcoming sports channel.
