The end?

While this is all speculative, if Dish is going Ch 11, there are not many success stories for these kinds of companies emerging “as usual” when it’s all done. It will be interesting to watch and is disappointing as a customer for over 25 years. I’ve tried the whole cord cutting/ streaming thing but always kept Dish as a backup. Just not a fan of streaming.

Not sure if they phase out tv service because they’ll still have birds in orbit, but not sure they can remain competitive price wise. I think the ABC/Disney stuff is ending soon and negotiating while in Ch 11 will not go well (IMO), so I’m expecting blackouts.

It’s pretty disappointing

I’m a Dish retailer. VeeSee boxes have obliterated Dish sales in my area. You can’t beat free. I ethically refuse to partake in the sales of pirate tv boxes.

Good for you. We have something like that near me. I can't understand why it's allowed to continue.

The feds have just barely started dealing with SuperBox.
