I'm sure some of you noticed that FOX News has split the sheets with Dish.
No doubt due to failed contract negotiations.
The funny part is, the channel display says "FN has removed this program" as if they just pulled the plug for no good reason.
Looks like DC doesn't have a monopoly of ass wipes that can't negotiate and instead blame the other side.
Even funnier,,, I decieded to check Direct TV's packages out this morning since I've been thinking about combining my TV, phone, and ISP anyway. Direct TV's site is down. LOL Probably crashed due to folks changing satellite company's.
Dish really showed FOX a thing or two eah?
If I didn't know better I'd think Obama was involved in the negotiations.

Give it a week, both will crumble towards a new contract.
CBS was what 2 weeks ago?

Dish is just fighting one news channel at a time. Couldn't care less with CNN or CBS, but if they don't get Fox back on soon I'll be leaving. I made that clear also.

I went ballistic with DISH about a year ago... had auto payments set up and did not pay close attention to the billing... they had doubled the fee... I called and told them they had 60 seconds to get a return shipping box lined up to get the receiver back or I was going to file a complaint with Visa...
The very Black sounding "customer service" representative attempted about 52 Seconds of shuck and jive BS before I started demanding her full name to include in the complaint... she said the box would be shipped that day at about the 58 Second mark...
I should have filed a complaint anyway.... I despise a thief.
Please don't feed the trolls!

This is not uncommon for DISH. CNN was off a few days a month or so ago, the Turner networks and others have in the past.

Dish had 3600 cancellations the first day of it by like 1030 a.m. I will be canceling shortly as well if they can't get it together. Apparently they are trying to charge Fox more since it has "less" ratings than the other news channels. Fox disagreed having to pay a higher premium because they had less ratings. Hopefully Fox news will be back on soon although they are liberal as well and slowly getting worst.

This morning I told them we don't stay at motels if they don't have FOX News.
