:: View topic - DirecTV and Cablevision come to agreement

So I'm 3000 miles away with potentially more access to Sabres programming than you folks freezing your nads off in WNY?

That's f'ed up.

I get double the HD on DirecTV that Dish offers, and I pay less for it.

The owners of these channels are trying to makup lost revenue from other sources by raping them when it comes to carriage agreements. Dish will be in the same spot once their contracts are up.

EDIT: MSG is currently receiving $1.84 per month per cable/sat subscriber, and $1.44 per month per sub for MSG+, combined total of $3.28

They want to increase that to over $4 , which is insane.

They reached a deal, nothing to worry about anymore.

That's not between Rainbow and DirecTV, it's between Cablevision (who owns Rainbow) and the NHL.

Thus DirecTV subscribers in the Buffalo market are able to get HD games, but nobody with Center Ice with any provider is.

Different agreement you need to hope for, sorry.

This is speculation, it seems, but it bears repeating: DirecTV may lose MSG by this Friday, leaving Sabres fans who subscribe out in the cold! Story here\ EDIT: DirecTV and Cablevision came to an agreement, so no one is losing MSG

Plus, I have more HD channels than I know what to do with.

The same thing is happening here in Florida. TWC is canceling Fox networks and the Florida Gators are playing on that station. Everyone is in an uproar because they won't get to see Tim Tebow play in his final college game. It's been on the news every night and famous lawyers down here are in court trying to reverse this action.
