When Dish goes into a local market and only has two of the four major networks, I'm curious as to how much actual negotiating is going on between the tv stations and dish from that point. I emailed the two that are not in HD and both responded that dish would not accept their terms. I assume directv was offered the same terms and they seemed to find them satisfactory as all four are in hd now. I wonder who eventually gives in or is strickly a hold out till they (dish) gives in or else. I would hope that pressure from tv customers and the fact that their competition is in hd might pursuade the tv stations to give-in a little. Just thinking out loud.
