I have always loved Dish TV..No more!

Last edited Sat May 26, 2012, 05:04 PM - Edit history (1)

I was flipping around this am & discovered that Sundance channel is gone.. I went to Google to see what I had missed and that's when I found out that a legal snit between Dish & AMC (they own Sundance) has led to Dish dropping ALL AMC programming..

No more Mad Men..The Killing..and we'll miss the final season of Breaking Bad..

Perhaps it's just a power-play, and they will settle their differences, but I am pissed off, to say the least..

When I had Dish, there were several episodes like this, usually because some network wanted to raise prices. They always settled, and to Dish's credit, they usually won. These networks will be back. You might wind up with a rate hike, however.

Mainly, it was lousy reception during rainy and stormy weather. I would lose reception for a few hours. I finally switched to Comcast and I have never had any problems.
