You think Dish Disputes are bad...

[Scott Greczkowski]

We make fun of the disputes that DISH has with Channel owners here at SatelliteGuys, but in all our years I have not seen anything quite like this.

Comcast is in a dispute with Comcast.

Yes you read that right.

2020 has been a strange year.

I wonder if the problem is if they go easy on themselves, it sets a precedent for the other providers negotiating with them.

Dish is still the king of disputes. Nobody can top Dish! Dish started a dispute with the Hopper Arcade app at the same time that the HBO/Cinemax dispute started. To this day, that app has never returned to the Hopper.

There was no dispute with Hopper arcade. We knew it was going away do to low subscriptions.

It was a joke. The point is that Hopper Arcade happened to be removed at the same time as HBO and Cinemax, and that dispute never ended, either. When Comcast has been in a two-year long (and counting...) dispute with itself, then maybe they will have something to "brag" about.

I think as far as Dish is concerned, the HBO dispute went away the moment they removed it from the EPG.

I don't think you can call HBO a dispute. A dispute is when two entities are arguing over an agreement. There never was an argument, AT&T had every intention of pulling HBO from Dish the minute they owned it. There was never going to be an agreement..

Ever worked for a company where two different divisions or departments fight over budget allocations?

I personally don't care if HBO and Cinemax ever come back to Dish since I subscribe to both with Spectrum TV Choice, and with that I get a free HBO Max subscription (I just wish it would come to Roku).

Nope. And I don't plan to be. Much less stressful.
