Yep.

Yep.

That is old.
I remember that from my last Time with Dish.

I have a feeling they are paying to have their HD channel on Dish. As DIRECTV added in HD too this week.

Technically his first name is Earvin, but he goes by Earvin "Magic" Johnson.

It's better then the internet bottle neck that would occur in my house with 4 rooms streaming OnDemand all the time.
If you don't like live channels, then nothing is stopping you from canceling your DISH service.

Sorry buddy, I'm not falling for that old trick. I never said I didn't like my Dish account. I stated that many people, including myself, get what we want through the On Demand services without the redundancy. Especially with Starz On Demand being offered to BB@Home subs without Starz subscription.

Remember the real 'Unlike' button?

No, I don't. Just the one you use after liking a post.

Bluegras, you'd be interested in the "Watching Paint Dry Channel" if someone else had it in HD and Dish didn't

It still requires a Movie pack subscription at $10.
And I can count about 75 + million that like live channels.

I knew that Chad, but for bluegras's sake I wanted to use Magic, he might actually know who that is. If I said Earvin Johnson, he would be bewildered.... As it is he didn't pick up on Johnson from Jackson....

 

[JSheridan]

No, I don't. Just the one you use after liking a post.

I think it was called 'Dislike' or something like that and it was right next to the Like button. It didn't last long probably because some people got a lot of Dislikes.

That's a separate point. I'd rather paid $10 for that pack, with its rag tag group of channels and the On Demand service, which gives me all the content from the linear channels,than pay the extra $5 to $10 per month for the linear channels, with their redundant over played movies, outside the cinema and in black channels.

You are absolutely right.
But you are not speaking for what the Majority of what people actually want.
Live Channels

 

[Troch77]

Nobody really cares about the linear channels anymore. The only linear service that I get is EPIX, and only because it's part of a package that I subscribe to.

In case you forgot what you said.

Lol. I figured you knew. That was for Alan's benefit.
