Attention Dish Network Subscribers RE: BTN

Good information. It sounds like DTV is willing to work to keep their customers. I think I'm going to make the switch. I am a little upset their HD programming is less than what I have with Dish but you've got to take the good with the bad. I want Sunday Ticket!!!Oh, one last question, have any of you ever had an issue getting BTN alternate channels? I didn't see anything on their website about alternates.

They have them all plus with the sports pack you get more games on CSN and FSN. DTV also has access to the BTN2GO app. Which is awesome. Streams channel live and has all games and on demand content. Great on phones or iPads!

This will get resolved. A lot of people want this channel. AMC most people can live with out. As far as the Pro-DTV people the Viacom dispute says hi.

It goes on with all the providers

AMC happens to have the best show on TV but yet people still have Dish. Add to the fact that Dish isnt cheaper than DirecTV and I cant figure out why anyone has it....its a mystery

Which one? AMC is pretty much loaded with great TV.

Seriously, though. Breaking Bad is the best show I think I've ever seen. Watched the first four seasons in a week on Netflix. Just wish I could catch up on this season rather than jumping in in the middle.

I've had both, and they are about the same. Dish always has had better equipment, DTV has a couple HD Channels tha Dish doesn't. The whole AMC thing is a recent occurrence, and I just don't care about one station. I will be switching back to Dish as soon as my DTV contract is up, as the whole house DVR is slow, glitchy, and frankly the Hooper blows it away.

I just got an email that the BTN and Dish are in a disagreement over carriage terms of the channel. The channel could be dropped from Dish on September 1st. This would mean an immediate call to DirecTV for me so just wanted to spread the word to others.

From the email:

Attention DISH Network customers and BTN fans,

DISH Network may drop Big Ten Network from its programming line-up. This means starting Saturday, September 1, DISH Network customers could miss over 40 BTN football games this season. DISH customers could miss the first games of the season for 12th-ranked Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue and Urban Meyer's coaching debut with Ohio State.

DISH customers would also lose access to BTN2Go, a LIVE, 24/7 viewing experience available on computers, tablets and smartphones, with live games, extra football game channels, on-demand programming, and historical events.

Why would you call Directv for a Dish complaint?
 
I got an email from DishNW last week offering me a Multi-Sport pkg that include BTN HD . . .so are they really dropping it or do they just want to make us buy an extra pkg to get it?? The pkg is $9/month regular price and includes NFL RedZone, NFL, MLB, NHL, Strike Zone, Fuel, Fox Soccer, Universal Sports Network . . .did any other current Dish customers get that??
