Offer me all of ESPN's content and I'd pay 15$.

TNT

Too bad so much is on Fox Sports or others now

CSoul

Isn't it a matter of time before they follow suit?

Sure, $20 here, $20 there; soon you'll be paying double for half of what you

cougarick

1/6/15 9:53am

I think it's just the opposite. As competition increases among providers

jdub

1/6/15 10:01am

i'm not as optimistic.

thebruce

1/6/15 10:04am

Not initially. It will take a long time I think before the market forces drive

Bob Vance

I may be making a bad assumption when I assume my case is a fairly common one

jdub

1/6/15 11:54am

Yeah. The bundling gets a bad rap because of all of the shopping channels that

Bob Vance

People still currently pay $100/month for a cell phone,

cougarick

1/6/15 11:21am

I guess we'll see, but that logic runs contrary to the demographic

jdub

1/6/15 11:41am

We all have our guesses.

I have a question about VLClean, but I'll send you a boardmail

Sorry... didn't realize this was still the same Dish news. Thought it was

vacougfan

1/6/15 9:47am

Does this include all ESPN channels or just ESPN and ESPN2?

uberslacker

1/6/15 9:48am

Just those 2 from what i've read.

Desert Rat

1/6/15 9:59am

I'm close to pulling the trigger with that...

cougfanz

1/6/15 9:51am

So, when you add up all the separate streaming services,

cougarick

1/6/15 9:51am

good point.. but problem is a lot are already paying for the streaming services

cougfanz

1/6/15 9:56am

the quality will be poor for the first few years at least.

thebruce

1/6/15 10:04am

Why do you say that?

Tokolosh

1/6/15 10:28am

I've had conversations with people that are directly involved with programming

thebruce

1/6/15 11:15am

I'm pretty hopeful about it...

20$ is still too much for ESPN and ESPN2 & channels I don't want.

I'm just encouraged to see the paradigm shift.

vacougfan

1/6/15 9:57am

I agree, but the fact that this is coming from Dish does not help.

byujacob

1/6/15 9:59am

They are still stuck on the whole package thing...

vacougfan

1/6/15 10:03am

that's not dish, it is the content/channel owners

BlueBlood

1/6/15 10:37am

I'm pretty sure it'll end up being more expensive this way

BYUCoug11

1/6/15 10:01am

Who cares if you are getting "fewer channels" if you never watched those other

vacougfan

1/6/15 10:06am

For the same $$, I'd rather have more channels in the off chance that

If it has all the espns and root, id be pretty happy

yfootball

would there be some way to dvr

palangi

1/6/15 10:12am

I know Dish Anywhere has a DVR function so I'm sure it would be an option here

vacougfan

1/6/15 10:16am

no DVR. 3 days of on demand.

thebruce

1/6/15 10:19am

It would be nice if they would release the full TV schedule for the season
