    The Mountain West Conference is going exclusive with CSTV in 2006 (I believe)....so it would be nice to have the network on DISH by then. CSTV also provides coverage of the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming every year.

    Sorry to feel a damper on the joy and celebration, but we were hostages and pawns in the Dish/Viacom negotiations..... We were used.....most people are o.k. with that, perhaps, but I'm not. I'm looking for a good DirecTV deal......
  3. General DISH™ Discussion
    SO....if Dish's programming reverts to only Bloomberg and Shopping channels...everyone should lay back, open their legs and take whatever is given to them.........? I think there is a difference between a change in programming and a slashing of programming....
  4. General DISH™ Discussion
    Except neither Charlie, nor anyone else really cares about those of us who are leaving and we ARE leaving. In my checkbook, there is no such thing as "brand loyalty"....it's who gives me a better deal. I don't live to give Charlie NOR Rupert a more comfortable life....I only live to give...
  5. General DISH™ Discussion
    Agreed......so we should tell Charlie..."Please use us again in your contract negotiations. We'll be happy to pay more so that you and Viacom can make more money....Please use us......use us.....use us."
  6. General DISH™ Discussion
    I'm not staying.....I've already cancelled part of my Dish service and will cancel the rest once I have DirecTV installed. I was always happy with DirecTV, but switched because Dish offered more channels.....Not any more. It's so nice that Dish is giving (for free) the channels that I already...
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    Actually, I saw the crawl on Spike about the channel going away because of DishNetwork..... It was Viacom who made it sound like it was going away. I'm cancelling Dish A.S.A.P., but I think BOTH parties in this pissing contest are at fault.
  8. General DISH™ Discussion
    Whatever.....the common person sees 6 cents....and sees Charlie's mug on their CBS station or a graphic telling us to compain to the other guy......and it makes a lasting impression. The other guy is telling us to complain to Charlie. Viacom has their O.T.A.'s. I think Dish has more to...
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    Since some people don't care about the loss of the channels....perhaps Dish could come up with a "Viacom package"....where we pay an additional 6 cents....or $2.00 more and keep the channels....rather than using us to get what they want. My bill went up $3.00 last month.....I don't have alot of...

    CBS Soaps must have started....the server is busy again!
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    The keeping of TVLand and Spike.....appears to be a loophole.....somewhat like those who get DISTANT NETS can still receive the channels that those of us who are local cannot. A guy in Nevada can still get the Denver CBS channel.....and in Laramie, Wyoming, I cannot.
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    So.....in otherwords......"thanks for raising my bill by $3.00 but holding the line on Viacom's 6 cents" :nono2:
  13. General DISH™ Discussion
    Or E* tries to extort Viacom by withholding viewers.....it's all a matter of perspective. My bill went up $3.00. Viacom wants 6 cents of that....... Who is making money off of me the $3.00 guy? or the 6 cents guy? Actually, DirecTV will be making money off me in the future.
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    Resolve away.....I don't want to be "used" by either to advance their cause whether it's financial or on principle.
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    But....what if they dropped some channels that you ALWAYS watch?!?!?!!? As in....some kids and Nickleodean.....and my wife with CBS?
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    In some ways, I believe this is true. When I lived in the Cincinnati area, I was in a dark area where I could receive NO networks over the air (even though I was about 5 miles from their towers) I got waivers from all except ABC and spent a year without any ABC programs. I survived just...
  17. General DISH™ Discussion
    The woman I talked to was quite nice and calm (considering what she must be going through).... However, I'm not one to rant and rave and yell at csrs....so maybe I was a relief call (even though I'm pissed). I started with a movie channel cancellation (she waived the downgrade fee, so that was...
  18. General DISH™ Discussion
    I'm trying to cancel my movie channels now....the rest will go after I find out how much of a penalty I have to pay for leaving 6 months early (following the mover special). I think for many this experience will leave a bad taste and people will never consider returning.
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    I would like to know the TRUE penalty cost for cancelling DISH. Last night the penalty seemed to vary from $70 to $240. Last August I did the "mover" thing. Which means I still have 6 months to go. I'm calling to cancel the movie channels today and have been on hold for quite awhile. I...
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    Fox Movie Channel USED to show movies in letterbox (but my picture was so bad on DISH that I stopped watching...don't know why). Turner Classic Movies seems to always show movies in their original version. American Movie Classics formerly was a great source of original aspect ratio...
