Prime Time Any Time Coming to SD Only Markets.

[jimdandyvi]

Yes, but ignorance is bliss for the networks. If I'm buying spots in prime time when it comes to negotiating rates based on viewership I'm going to tell the network that I'm not going to pay for Dish's 14 million subs because they are all auto hopping. The fact is that other people maybe time shifting and maybe skipping commercials, but no one knows how many are.

Puts the networks on the defensive and no one likes to go into a negotiation at a disadvantage.

Hi Scott

Sorry to boder again with the same critique. But I have to say it!!!! Dish does not respect PR/USVI costumers period. Why in the hell does Dish activate PTAT to every single market that only has SD networks and leaves Puerto Rico out again in the cold without another feature. This is just unjustifiable!!! Never in my dreams I have seen such a blunt disregard for paying costumers. The are selling and installing new hoppers in PR like they are going out of style and PR is one of those markets with the 4 Networks still in SD; Why not activate the feature for us also. And I just checked, even the 4 Networks are being transmitted through the same TP so there is no technical reason not to do so. This blunt disregard for, and let me stress, PAYING costumers is without reason. Would somebody at the Dirt team give a reasonable without beating around the bush explanation for this actions. Sorry but I am very mad for all of us here on the islands that are being left out as always. Just praying for D*** TV rumor to come true. To see if Dish starts refocusing their bbehavior down here. Simply abusive!!!!!
