Rumor Alert: Channels Changing Packages

[rvvaquero]

Remember what your father told you.

Yes, I remember. It was your post about sports which reminded me.

I have TV5+Word, and i never get FXX!. BUT ... i like Dish offered a mini pack of Fox's channels. (FX,FXX,Fox Movies, Fox News).

Can you add the $10/month Dish Movie Pack to your package? It includes just FXM (formerly Fox Movie Channel) and not the other Fox channels you listed. For more information: https://www.mydish.com/dish-movie-pack

Dish may even offer you a special on the Dish Movie Pack like half off for example for a number of months.

I wish there were a package for people who don't watch sports, make it all optional.

how about having all children's programming in a separate family package, I don't need to pay for that either.

 

[MitchDeerfield]

Children's programming doesn't cost you $15 a month, like sports does.

Yep....and with Disney your forced to get ESPN......I believe all these giant companies have done this on purpose so any provider is forced to get more and pay more.

and I wish there was a package for those of us who just wants sports.

 

[Mr Tony]

and I wish there was a package for those of us who just wants sports.

[MitchDeerfield]

and I wish there was a package for those of us who just wants sports.

Then we agree . . one special package for the sports lovers, Tennis channel, Golf channel Fox Sports 1,2,3,4 ESPN 1,2,3,4,5, Root Sports, Comcast Sports, BeIn, CBS Sports, etc etc., NHL, NBA, NFl Channel, MLB Channel, Regional Sports Channels.

Actually, there is a Kids Package add-on that is $15/month that includes: Boomerang, Cartoon Network, Cartoon Network (West), Disney, Disney (West), Disney Junior, Disney XD, and Animal Planet. I wish it was not that much.

I read that a little too quickly.... Not there's anything wrong with that....

 

[rvvaquero]

Every time we have a thread about programming, someone complains about having to pay for Sports they don't watch. Then, someone counters about paying for stuff they don't watch. Yada, yada, yada. Fact is that most of us pay for lot's of programming we don't watch. The providers know this and continue with the same old format. Wishing won't change anything.

I think a la carte would become more expensive over time if it was the only option available. It is all about money. $ $ $

Yea and then I'd be able to not subscribe to everything else. It sounds like a good fantasy, but it will never happen. All those worthless channels would have few subs.

Remember what your father told you.

There were two things my dad used to say.
"Be careful what you wish for ... you just might get it," and:
"Wish in one hand, and ..."
Perhaps you should fill in the blank.

 

[ChadT41]

Wish in one hand and party with the other??? jk Work computer.

[brejust]

just looked it says

• Channels in Free Preview can be found here and are included in the channel listing below. that shouldnt happen because what if someone thinks the channel is in one package and only in another. going to confuse them.

If you keep doing that you'll go blind?

Must be why my eyesight is getting so bad.
