Dish Is Dropping AMC

[Sailor]

Where are you going to get your Zombie fix?

Keep AMC Networks

 

[EvilElmo]

Probably just the typical rate increase negotiations. That happens a lot with Dish because they don't just roll over and hike prices whenever a network wants more money.

 

[Hawkeye]

I have Comcast. Not DISH. Saw the ads last night thogh during Mad Men...

 

[Sailor]

Dish is in a lawsuit with them and is playing Enron.

 

[Bapak2ja]

No problem. I just dropped the Dish when they raised my rates. I will not pay $200/mo. for TV.

It is really amazing how much more I get done in the evening without the Dish demanding attention!

DirecTv

I didn't know anyone had dish anymore.

 

[lovemachine]

I called Dish and talked to them about it.

They're keeping AMC. It's just on channel 9610 now.

Is that a legal source?

$200 a month? How is that?

My comcast is less than half that for phone, internet, and cable.

I pay 114 for dish 250 with showtime. Fios fastest internet and phone. The new hopper is great. 2000 hrs of dvr and it skips commercials.

maybe it is maybe it isnt
its not filesharing as iu blocks that, but wont give us any good tv signal.
Ours looks worse than a vhs tape with bad tracking on the lowest recording setting and they didnt ever deploy the tvoip solution they worked on to solve the signal issues. Another huge issue is to even have that quality of image the amplifers are over modulated and cause out of range issues with any tv I have seen(loud buzzing and visable lines in bright areas and red). Alot of people have complained but they dont do anything but take channels away from us. We lost G4 after it showed a pot documentary we have also lost a few MTVs over censoring. Now we do have a awesome ISP if you dont mind not being able to partake in illegal activitys( i think this is becuase of the server you could run on the connection). I usually avg 100+mbps down and 80+ up with litte to no latency, so if any site is slow its the webservers fault.

Antenna TV gives us what we need: most shows we really want to watch that aren't on the antenna are on the internet within a day or two from the official website anyway.

No more AMC after tonight

 

[Sailor]

People are calling and getting free hoppers, Roku he's and 10I bucks month credit.

I used to be a contractor for dish.. the dishs break easy and they charge for their broken mistakes. Also they have a bad habit on not wanting to ground out the dish so if you hit lightning, bye bye t.v. I'd prefer anything over dish.

That's odd. My Dish equipment is grounded at the pole and I've never had any issues with the dish, even after bumping it repeatedly with my mower. Never have had an issue with equipment in well over a decade of being a Dish customer.

 

[RGriff69]

I'm cancelling Dish. Directv will be out on the 10th!

 

[lovemachine]

I'm disappointed that I can't watch AMC anymore. But I'm not going to pay my $60 cancellation fee, and spend more money to start Directv. Especially when AMC has only 2 shows I like to watch, and one of them has only 1 more season left.

I've had no problems with Dish in the past. And I haven't called to get any deals and free stuff yet.

But I'm going to keep them, downgrade my package, and buy the seasons of Breaking Bad and Walking Dead with my iPad, and watch it thru Apple TV.
