I'll be long gone by then. UPS can pick up my Hopper and Joey.

I wonder if Dish will offer free OTA installs for their customers with this dispute. I got mine installed during the Meredith dispute in the summer of '19. Lost my CBS local for two months and IIRC it came back just at the start of the NFL season.
Can Dish still provide guide data for OTA locals? Or is that supplied by the local networks? If I can keep the guide data then I don’t care if they shut them off or not.

I don’t believe either side. The fact is, the only reason I stay with Dish are because of the Hopper 3, some sub-channels I can’t receive with my antenna, and a couple other stations.

Seems like Sinclair/Dish have a short term extension
Would that indicate that they have closed the gap. or is that just wishful thinking?
Dish, Sinclair extend contract to prevent removal of 100+ channels from satellite TV service
Dish and Sinclair have temporarily extended their contract, which ends Monday, preventing the removal of more than 100 local TV stations from Dish.

Did they say how long this TEMP agreement would be ?
Last time I heard of this type of thing it was for like 3 days.
This is actually a Good thing, it means they are still talking.

I believe Dish just because of the way contracts work in general, carriage agreements in particular. Dish simply doesn't have the option to pull channels.
Methinks Sinclair blinked first. If their position were as strong as they thought there would have been no reason to agree to an extension but they did.
It’s hard to believe Dish on this because they have way more disputes than anyone else. Like I stated I don’t believe either side.
Different story in Seattle/Western WA. KOMO/4 is still running "the crawl" a couple minutes into every program along with the usual "Call dish and complain" spots (BTW: DON'T unless you call Sinclair and do the same to them). Methinks sometime tonight we'll get the dish Barker Video in place of whatever should be on - unless cooler heads prevail.

Sure thing. I hope you laugh once you're still paying for a TV service that provides you with less and less every year. The fact that people think their costs will come down is laughable too...they won't. You'll still be paying a ton and eventually won't have the channel or channels you want...

Exactly. We have had some negotiations in the past where it was ugly. The fact that there is an extension makes you think that both sides feel that something could happen.
No guide data for either of my two Sinclair locals as of last week. CBS and Fox.
