What Else Is New: FX, NatGeo Could Go Dark On Dish Network

more and more taken away, bill stays the same

 

You could keep them and pay a LOT more? Plus we know Disney is trying to tie all the channels to new channels and bind DISH. DISH is losing subscribers right and left. It has to start saying NO to some of these channels.

 

Dish, Disney Skirt Blackout For Now

I have a Roku/Fire Stick and if I wanted to, I could easily get a cheap skinny pack to get those channels for the period they are off Dish. In the past, a person would have to switch from Dish to Direct or cable. For those that have high speed, those channels are in several packs, if they are that important. To me they aren't except for Nat Geo.

 

If I lose FXM, I may get another pack elsewhere.

 

Lose them with DISH now or switch and lose them with someone else later. Oh yeah, and then some politician says its our fault and the content providers should get anything they want. Welcome to the new reality.

 

That is true. I guess in this day, if you want a channel and your provider drops it, you just jump from provider to provider or sub to two and that way if one drops it, you get it from the other.

 

Dish is in the entertainment business.....if they have no channels, they have no entertainment........no entertainment, no customers

Consumer's bills go up every year, with less to choose from......so these disputes in the so called name of keeping prices down is a farce. As a sports fan, I have now lost the RSN's, the ACC channel is not on Dish & now this. Living in a small county, I don't have the availability of hi speed internet.
If it wasn't such a hassle to switch providers, I would do just that. Been with Dish for around 20 years.....this crap is just so tiresome

 

Keep them and pay more? we pay more anyway, prices go up not down!
