I don't think it matters. My understanding is that the DTV/NFLST is an exclusive contract, so that no other bid from any other provider would matter. Not Dish's or any other provider's fault for not having ST.

FXX doesn't premier until early next month. It is in HD and will be in the AT120 package.
On Monday, September 2, FX Networks will launch FXX, a new network aimed at young adult viewers, it was announced today. With the addition of FXX, FX Networks will become a suite of three networks consisting of FX, FXX and FXM.
FXX will be available in 74 million homes in year one, making it one of the most widely distributed entertainment networks ever for an ad-supported cable network in its inaugural year. FXX initially will be built on a foundation of original comedy series, movies and acquired series, and expand to include original drama series, all primarily designed to attract young adults 18-34.

I've been away for over 10 days so I'm trying to see whats the latest with FX1 and FX2. I really did spend some time here trying to catch up but can someone recap where we're at right now. I only see Speed on my guide. What channel numbers should I be looking for? Thanks
FS1 is on channel 150, FS2 is on channel 398... Even though they still show Speed and Fuel as channel names the programming is FS1 & FS2...
I see the bitch fest is still on going... Who said you were paying more? Did the Dish fairy show up last night and take money out of your account for the FS1 launch? Did you get a memo your bill was going up?
Unless Fox completely caved then yes our bills will be going up.They were asking for .80c as opposed to .23c per sub.The Dish fairy doesn't come around till Feb or March btw.
You have been out of the loop. Fox Sports didn't get any increase, it has been put off until the next contract negotiations in a year or so.
ESPN is about $6.50 a month now for everyone and they now want at least a 15-20 percent increase for the next few years. Contract expires on Oct 1.

Nope all UFC programming from FX, Fuel, Speed, etc will now be on FS1 with some cards on Fox. Also FS1 will now have a weekly(correct me if I'm wrong) card on Wednesdays now starting later this month or in Sep.
That's what I ment. It's on their now because of the new branding. Which is a good thing. I enjoyed it. I made that statement because someone said UFC was going to be on there even without the new branding.
You don't like pure highlights without a talking head saying how X player isn't as good as Y player who is a superstar? Or how x team doesn't even belong with y team who is a powerhouse?
Sorry but if you don't like Fox Sports Live go back to that biased as s*** BCS(EC)PiN crap and leave the rest of us alone.

Not a fan of espn sports center either. To me fox sports live is similar to espn sportscenter but maybe it will grow on me, will see.

Fox backed down to keep from having to fight Dish, Directv and Time Warner all at once. The next question is when exactly the current contracts expire
There seems to be conflicting reports about that.

my opinion, Fox new it would hurt them to launch without 3 of the 4 biggest providers and caved to get on the air with the old contracts, while still trying to broker a new agreement now before the old contracts expire
Ive read it in more than one spot. No deal made, they just agreed to carry it while talks are ongoing... Thats prob why my guide still says SpeedHD.
We will be good if Directv, Dish and TWC stick together on a deal. I dont think Fox wants to lose them.
