Second time today :D and this past weekend. Makes me wonder if this past weekend if it was real close with the negotiations. At least it's over.

uhoh... keepfoxnews.com is back to saying Dish Dropped them?

Is it me or does Charlie look irritated in that announcement/update?

It's on their guide as "breaking news" so its probably correct.

About time...

It's a shame to see such anger over a channel. I had to use my ignore as well. I just hope News Corp. and Dish get it together so things can get back to "normal."

Wow... so much hate for one channel. Wow.

I got a notice about reciever as well. It's my 501D. I have a ton of recordings on there, but I am assuming there is no way to back them up before getting a new receiver?

Yeah I saw that as well, but at a glance, over all since the outage, CNN is down a bit and MSNBC has a slight (kinda) bump since they are on channel 200. But I could be grasping at straws.

Makes me wonder if this is because of Dish not airing CNN (and makes me wondering about the other networks being blacked out): More here: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-hits-new-ratings-low-monday-night_b245708

20 Days in. I have to say I am really getting irritated with this situation. I would switch, but even with DTV possibly having issues and comcast (no, just no!), I'm stuck. To put it plainly... this really sucks.

This is really the first time I have thought about changing. 2 of the channels that I missing are some of the core channels that I watch. If TNT and TBS are dropped, I'm gone. It's disappointing to see how far it's gone. I know it comes down to money and I see Charlie's point. But there is more...

I have to say that I am extremely disappointed how long the talks are going right now. I really missed TCM over Halloween and I miss watching Adult Swim on the over nights. I'm amazed how far it's gotten especially with election day today. CNN is going to be missing out on some decent ratings...

How did you get that? I wonder if I should contact Dish again and "demand" that.

I just talked to a CSR via chat (waited about 12 minutes). First they tried to give me $5 off for 3 months. I pushed back and then I got it for 6 months. I guess its something.
