We just switched back to DirecTV after a two year hiatus with Dish for two reasons. One, DirecTV offered us a better package for multiple HD TVs and, second, they kept dropping channels like this.

Wow. FSN is off Dish. Time to switch to DirecTV.

There are probably a ton of different things that influence the issue. Like you said, you only really hear about one at a time because of the contract dates, but I'd imagine there are frequently negotiations when contracts expire. There are sometimes issues not only with the actual rates being charged, but also with what types of packages the channels are carried on (basic, standard, premium, sports tier, etc.). I don't think this is the case (though I don't actually know FSN's ownership structure), but the Versus deal with DirecTV was a major issue because Versus is owned by DTV's biggest competitor - Comcast.

I'm just glad I don't live in that world. Everybody sucks.

!@#$ you, Dish Network! :cuss: I did notice that Nat Geo, Nat Geo Wild, FX, Fox Movie Channel, and Fox News are still there. Didn't that site say some of those would be gone, too?

And, of course, my Jayhawks are playing on FSN tomorrow. :cuss: Guess I will have to go to a bar to watch.

Good thing I have Cox. Ranked #1 in customer satisfaction -- or so they always tell me.

wow

Cox sucks. Terrible company. I refuse to use any of their services. Switch to DirecTV and never look back.

I'm not a big fan of their tv service, but I've had their high speed internet for over a year now and have been pleased with it.

I agree. I think their internet service is the best. but dealing with their customer service is a ****ing joke.

Wtf really..noooooo

Looks like fx and other fox networks will go.... i assume fox 4 kc too? Oh hell no.....wtf dish.

This site says FOX itself might be gone by November 1. How is that even possible? How would DISH keep any customers at all if they can't even offer that channel anymore?

For awhile Time Warner was running ads about ESPN wanting to much money etc etc, then a few weeks later the ads said they worked out a deal, big shocker there eh?

But when it comes to something like Dish they're whole selling point is they're cheaper.

Apparently negotiations are trying to continue but fox currently is blocking the channels. This shit needs to be taken care of....no FX FML
