OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

[jsb1980]

Are you sure?

DISH VS Fox is down, while:

DISH VS Fox,

DISH VS Fox,

DISH VS Fox,

DISH VS Fox.

DISH VS Fox,

DISH VS Fox.

All of those are still up.

Note that those are all different URLs that point to the same site.

If there has been an agreement, does it include the missing channels from Oct 1st? Is there anyone at home that is able to confirm this?

no channels back yet, we'll have to wait a bit longer.

DISH has taken down their anti FOX websites.

I think that alone means a lot. FOX, on the other hand, hasn't updated theirs... Dish's twitter page says "...no new info yet...".

I think Dish bought so many anti-Fox domains they've forgotten they need to update them !!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yeah the first one is the one I tried. The FOX pages are still up...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

GoogleTV is NOT a DISH Network product. If we want Hulu to be on GoogleTV then Google needs to make that deal with Hulu.

 

[Hall]

no channels back yet, we'll have to wait a bit longer.

Yes, you will. Did you read "...the channels will return on November 1st" ?

REP: "dishnetwork DISH Network
@CaptJCruz We haven't gotten any new info yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we do! *JH"


Don't know what that means, if anything. Also, FOX and DISH smear sites still up. We shall just have to wait and see.

LETS GO HEAT

LETS GO HEAT

Not on Dish. It's gone.

 

[dvrexpander]

Ohh please dear Lord let this be a start from here then to ESPN/Disney then ESPNU in HD!!!

 

[cfunk]

I seriously doubt that.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hmmm....

The FOX station that reported the news has now pulled the news from their site. However you can still see it at the link below.

Must have really jumped the gun then, but we'll see.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok just got a call (RUMOR ALERT) and I am told that a deal has indeed been made but the contract has not been finalized or signed yet. So they have agreed to a deal but again the paperwork is not complete.

The station that posted the news did jump the gun. (Whats kind of wacky is as I visit there they have a bunch of DISH network ads running there.)

SO just a rumor but sounds plausable to me.

 

[distex]

FOX AND DISH CAN GAIN A LITTLE TRUST BACK BY PUTTING THE CHANNELS UP NOW.

Don't make me miss another weekend of football ?
Best for Both.

Even the Dish Network's main page doesn't have Fox dispute as part of the news

DISH Satellite TV - $24.99 & HD Free For Life - Let's Watch TV

 

[singhnx01]

Its not part of the main news on Dish's site

. . . Cablevision's now facing a class action lawsuit from customers angry that Cablevision hasn't doled out refunds for the blocked Fox channels. The lawsuit, which is asking for a whopping $450 million, claims the blockade constitutes a Cablevision breach of contract, and that customers are seriously harmed by missing Fox's "distinctive viewpoint in the political speech arena... just days before a critical mid-term election.". . .

The full story and comments on BBR.

So they are suing for serious harm caused by missing Fox News? Fox News must have already caused irreversible brain damage, because FOX NEWS IS STILL ON CABLEVISION AND IS NOT PART OF THE DISPUTE! How can people be so dumb? If someone is going to sue, they should at least turn on the TV first to confirm whether they have a case or not.

The real irony is with Fox locals gone, lefty shows like Glee and The Simpsons are the ones that people can't watch anymore, not Fox News. Unbelievable.

Speaking of Glee, ratings fell like a rock in NY thanks to the feud, while they went up everywhere else. Maybe they'll think twice before pulling their top show from millions more homes.

Fox should be sued, not Cablevision. The Cablevision contract is probably like Dish and states they can drop or change channels offered at any time. This case is just a publicity stunt that will get thrown out the second a judge actually reads the contract.
