Da Swede can taste da tears of Dish and he tanks you for it.

[SoothingDave]

Imply. Infer. Whatever. ;-)

Love the Walking Dead. I was a Dish subscriber and the fact they did not have AMC was part of my decision to dump them.

[CatherineofAragon]

"I do."

2nd that. Lately Directv's lousy DVR has been giving us nothing but trouble (it froze up Sunday night during the Walking Dead premiere, provoking panic). But whether we end up streaming or going back to cable (gah), Dish is not an option. My zombie apocalypse habit must be fed.

I loved the VOOM channels. DISH should never have dropped them.

[Las Vegas Dave]

We has DISH and dropped them for VOOM, knowing that when I signed up they were having problems and may go dark. Four weeks later VOOM went out of business, in April 2005. We went back to DISH.

(The TV antenna VOOM provided for OTA broadcasts is still on my roof, and their HD boxes are somewhere in the basement.)

Not true. Guy was crying because he understood Heisenberg was looking for him.

[Las Vegas Dave]

Yes, you are correct.

Received last night from DISH (sounds like DISH knew they were about to get their butts handed to them):

Dear Subscriber,

DISH is pleased to announce that we have reached a multi-year agreement with AMC Networks, which has restored AMC on channel 131.

All customers will be able to enjoy AMC in free preview on channel 131, and for fans of The Walking Dead, the first episode of the season will be available on-demand for a limited time*. Please check your channel guide for a complete listing.

We appreciate your patience during this time and thank you for being a valued DISH customer.

Sincerely,

DISH

I’m pretty sure Dish won or was about to win the law suit against AMC

[RightFighter]

Yes, after the judge pretty much smacked down a DISH executive in open court and ordered her laptop immediately seized.

[Reddy]

Best. Post. Evah.

[Reddy]

My cousin posted two Saturday’s ago that he just realized that Dish no longer had AMC and that he would miss the first episode of The Walking Dead.

He immediately switched to some other carrier.

Some of us just have to have The Walking Dead amongst us.

[Reddy]

OOps. No apostrophe in Saturdays. ;)

That apparently was enough to send a sobbing Crawford flying through the exit doors of the courtroom, even though the judge quickly apologized

this woman is chief of programming for a 13 billion dollar sales media property

with a market cap of around 11 billion

and she ran crying from the courtroom?...cause her wuttle feeling are hurt?....no wonder we live in such emotive BS on TV

women....man....sometimes you just cannot make this shite up ya know..lol
