[/quote] That must be something happening with the local provider of DishNetwork. We've had DishNetwork for over 8 yrs (for me, longer than that for DH) and they've never taken HGTV off!!!! Yeah, I'd be in an uproar, too, if they did that! So far, the provider here has been very up front.....so we'll see if anything happens. Meanwhile, we'll get ABC from way back east and down south..... Just so I can see Castle...LOL[/quote]
It wasn't Dish, but ATT Uverse. One this I want to add
to my comment is that if you think about it, why would
a channel, like ABC or a network, like the Schripps Network
that has 5 very popular channels including HGTV and Food
Network, raise their rates to such an absurd amount that
cable and satellite companies would drop them? The only
way a channel or network can survive is if they have a large
viewership, so it is in their best interest to be on as many
providers as possible. I firmly believe it is the cable and
satellite providers that are doing this, not the channels and
networks, who want to be seen by as many as possible.
