KTBS 3 Dropped From Dish Network Lineup

Texasbelle · 01-04-2008, 09:38 PM

We have DISH and have never had a problem until now. I say screw KTBS and it's owner George Sirven. He is demanding a 300% increase from DISH. Puh lease...who in the snot of us gets that kind of pay raise? I would almost feel sorry for the man if I didn't have previous knowledge of what a horses behind he is.

And let me add I'd like to shove my red stiletto up his arse if I have to miss the new episode of Grey's Anatomy!!!!!!!

George doesn't own KTBS, the Wray family does. George just runs it. He has done a great job over the years IMHO, at least up until recently... But I can't blame him for being under the kind of pressure that would require 300% increase...That is just a sign of the times is all. Not his fault for the most part.

We have dishnetwork and one of the their ill performing DVRs. We are watching HD over the air broadcasts of KTBS. They have most of the programs my wife likes to watch. I would like to know who is bringing what to the table and who is holding out.

Direct TV tried to dry hump me on an install once-so it will be a bitter pill to swallow if I have to use them. I also have a grudge against cable TV, but it's been so damn long that I can't remember what they did. Doesn't stop me from using their internet services. Besides, the picture sucked. At least it did when I lived in South Highlands. Now that I'm in a new area with new cable, maybe I'll have to give them another audition.

I might even try one of those fancy Tivo units. Do I get 10% off if I say Joepole sent me?

Obviously you've never worked for this man or the stories about him. You'd feel quite differently if you did. He is an a$$. And yes it is HIS fault for requesting the increase. Dish did not request it. The signal is already broadcast for free so why not pass along the signal at a reasonable rate. I don't blame the station for wanting to be paid something but seriously the man has to be reasonable. He has never been described using that adjective.

Glad for once that we have cable and dish. Not really necessary except in cases of emergency like this! Is the new Grey's tomorrow night?
