I have a contract with Dish not Disney. This is a breach of contract. I called Dish and they told me they would credit me $5. What a slap in the face from Dish. Also, why in the heck would they have October 1st a a contract date with Disney/ESPN/SEC? Piss poor negotiators on Dishās part.I have Dish and have since 2000. I am mad as hell. Absolutely BS.
They shouldn't, Dish is fighting back against a huge price increase from Disney. There will be a lot of pressure though.
Starlink has been getting very good reviews for their speed and reliability. It's a steep buy in for equipment though.I dumped sling this morning. My biggest issue is internet. Iām a mile away from fiber. Mile and a half from cable. Neither provider will run to my neighborhood. Sling worked decent running on a hotspot. Tried Hulu today and found out they donāt support hotspot connections so got a refund. Iām about to bite the bullet and go directv. I would wait for sling to figure it out but like I said itās only decent. Buffers a ton and picture is SD at best
Very odd that these negotiations did take place before the season began. Why do this 4 games into the year?
They will be back. I have had Comcast , Spectrum and now Dish and my dad Direct and it happened to me with all 3 carriers at one time or another and it happened to my dad. Anybody that thinks it only happens with Dish are fooling themselves. I hope Dish does not caveDish will lose a ton of customers over this.
I have had both cable and streaming, Paid around $180.00 a month for Xfinity/Comcast, and most of the programming, we never watched, but to get the sports channels one has to select one of the higher cost options. I have used different streaming services and I prefer them to cable. We had youtubetv in it's early format, but it wasn't very dependable at that time. I've tried Roku, Hulu, Playstation Vue. I actually preferred Vue, but they stopped the service, now have youtubetv again, and it seems like they have the bugs worked out, so I'm happy. It all comes down to what is best for the person paying for their service.I guess paying $25/mo more for cable is not worth it to get ESPN when I want to watch a college game in the fall. All of you cheap asses can carry on and look for the best package so you can save 75 cents a week.
Roku does this crap all the time. Granted theyre just a platform, just as integral to content distribution...Theyāll miraculously figure it out. These carriage disputes suck. Disney, Fox, Paramount, Universal etc have all been pulling this for years.
Perhaps so, but, business is good.Negotiations have been going on for awhile now, with disney refusing to budge. they are trying to subsidize their streaming service ( disney plus) because its not as profitable as they had hoped. the problem is their demand of 9 billion dollar increase is ridiculous and nothing but greed. disney has become the most corrupt, immoral and greedy organization of all. shame
Issues ive seen thus far.Starlink has been getting very good reviews for their speed and reliability. It's a steep buy in for equipment though.
