How can i watch breaking bad tonight....

[cofi]

Gay ass dish network decided to prove a point to amc and not carry the network anymore.....which means i wont be watching breaking bad tonight.....even though i have been waiting for almost a year now to see it

how the hell can i watch it tonight? will amazon video have it available? do those torrent things work? i am willing to pay for it

and if they cant get there shit together by the time walking dead comes on im switching back to direct tv

[StagLefty]

Your not alone-same boat. Hulu ???[Beer]

[cofi]

hulu gonna have it tonight??

[grrr]

AMC is streaming it free from their website for Dish customers.

Legitimate online video services wont have it on the night it actually airs. Hulu is not carrying it at all.

Bit torrents and the like are available for free if you're willing to be a pirate.

If you're on iTunes, you can buy the season pass for $22, each episode will download at about 2 am the morning after it airs.

Basically, Dish screwed you out of enjoying your show. Avoid water coolers or get a new cable/dish provider.

AMC executives have said they want to triple the fees charged to carriers to 75 cents per subscriber over the next four to five years. It now charges 26 cents per subscriber per month, more than the History Channel and ABC Family, according to research by SNL Kagan.
Found on some online article. Not really sure who the bad guy is now... 14 million subscribers times 75 cents per subscriber times 12 months... 126 million dollars a year just from Dish? Nice.

If they have the rateings why not? Still not as bad as the fucks at the nfl network! AMC has to pay for their programming right? The more popular the show the more it costs them so they have to raise their fees. The more popular the show the more the cast makes right? It is what it is. Dish is just to much of a cheap MFer, it will eventually raise the dish customers rates anyways to compensate for it. Thats how they make money, thats how the cable/satellite pricing works. Channel for channel they would be equal.

If they have the rateings why not?
That's the hitch, isn't it? Dish didn't think they had the ratings to justify the increase, AMC thought they did.


In the end, it's just the subscribers who get screwed anyway.

just got off the phone with dish.....there said that if i buy new episodes on amazon they will credit my dish account.....works for me dish is back in my good graces

Its not up to dish to decide is the point. Like everything else it is all regulated. If you dont want amc to raise their rates tell them to drop their high rateing shows and then the priceing could stay the same. Like anything else you have to pay for good stuff. Compare amc's per subscriber rate to espn, hbo, mtv, nfl, etc. Wanna know how much seinfeld and crew made per episode? How do you think the network made the money to pay them? Advertiseing doesnt cover all the costs of supplying programming.

Why is it AMC's choice on how much profit they make on shows, but not Dish's?

I'm all for them charging whatever they want for programming. Free market and all that. Either way, prices go up, they lose a few subscribers, and life goes on. If it is worth it to them to lose those few people is totally up to them, and it's business. I fully support their ability to do that. If enough people jump ship (looking at you, Netflix) they'll try and figure something else out. But it is up to Dish, to decide if they want to bear the burden of raising their prices, or if they want to try and call AMC's bluff, and get them to come back down.

I am glad they finally have something worth watching though. I enjoyed the first season of Breaking Bad (I'm a chemist) and am looking forward to catching up. And I'm on Comcast, so I don't have a dog in this particular fight.


What I don't like is having to sit through all the "woe is us, call Dish and tell them to stop picking on us" commercials. On other cable stations with a different provider. Almost as bad as the "Forward" commercials...

Pretty good show tonight. Now I need to figure out a new way to get the show since AMC streamed it tonight only. [Beer]

The actors, crew, investors etc all get paid by rateings the more popular they are the more they get. So then some of that cost gets charged to dish/direc/cable. Every year the cost goes up anyways like 3% but when big changes happen it can go up more. With 100's of millions of subscribers if they lose a few they dont notice, so many people switched from direc and dish this week alone to comcast and other cable providers over lost channel issues that amc probably didnt even notice a ripple. The number of satellite Subscribers nationwide compared to cable is pretty low anyways now i see dish running BS adds to try to save themselves advertiseing the same channels for less money but look at the channels in the new 19.99 package, thats how they get cheap packages. Cable has a $17 dollar package as well.

I bitch about the whole thing as well but its just like pro sports or ceo's the better they do the more they get paid.

They put new episodes up 24 hours after they air

Cancelled Dish this month and went back to Comcast. Somehow it made my internet bill lower to include TV, and they increased my download speed. Good deal from where I'm sitting.
