So many channel disputes Dish has. Another one might come up tomorrow. Geez. I don't usually watch CNN much but there are good shows on it. I watch Cartoon Network and Boomerang a lot. But these stations are back, but now ANOTHER dispute is coming tomorrow with the CBS stations. I watch CBS a lot. Wow. Disputes are all over the place with Dish. Remember the one with AMC?
I'm so glad I switched from Dish to DirecTV last year...

You're lucky DirecTV never has disputes and drops channels. Looks like you're safe now.
That is fine and well that you are "glad you switched to DirecTV" it is nice that you are pleased. However, what made you feel the need to come to the Dish forum to post this? Sounds like your just trying to ask for negative feedback posts and D* vs E* crap.
I'm so glad that tv doesn't interest me like it used to, so disputes mean nothing anymore.
I agree, not sure if it's because I am a bit older, busy but I just don't get that worked up, I read the facebook comments for a good laugh at the venom people spew, kind of amazing
I do remember the AMC dispute, I remember Dish having some good customer service addressing that issue for me including a Roku
What Dish does is actually my business since I'm a retailer and I also have been a Dish customer for a very long time yet I don't get worked up about these things either.
I even had two of my TVs not working the entire day even though I pay much more than the average customer yet I still didn't complain. Why? Because it's not a big deal.
Yea I just figure when the channels come back, they will. Dish has always been good with credits and again the anger I see with folks commenting, it's crazy
and it wouldn't affect you in Rochester as KIMT 3 is NOT owned by CBS. Yes it would affect it if you lived in the Minneapolis market. But since you don't it wouldn't affect you.
agreed. I just chuckle at these disputes. The only person who loses is the customer.
The providers say "oh we are looking out for you". Nah they are looking out for their bottom line (more $$$$)
The channels say "oh make sure ______ keeps us". If the provider drops them their value becomes less
When I had Dish I "moved" to Minneapolis, so. And guys, I didn't mean any disrespect to you Dish guys. I actually feel bad for the Dish customers is what I meant.
I said if you LIVED in the Minneapolis market. But you don't so again it would be a moot point.
If you decided to "move" and you lost the channel, unlike other folks all you do is move back home.
True, DirecTV has disputes, but they tend to not last as long and are fewer. Many of them, such as The Weather Channel, stop being in demand as well.
I appreciate the empathy. Being a Dish sub has been hard the last couple of years. You never know if food will be on the table for dinner. The water shortages from the Dish related drought makes it so we can't even water our lawns.
I'd switch in a second to Directv if I didn't fear Charlie Ergen would smother my face with a pillow in my sleep.
That may be true but it only takes one of your favorite channels to be dropped and you sitting in the same boat but now under contract. I'm not trying to say you shouldn't switch because I feel Dish is better than DirecTV, I'm just saying that DirecTV isn't immune to the issues you feel Dish has. DirecTV isn't all that different than Dish.
