    The deal is over Dish's Hopper. It allows you to skip commercials. Gannett which broadcasts on channel 9 and 20 wants Dish to run the commercials cause Gannett gets paid to do so.

    Dish wants to offer Gannett "X" number of dollars to have the user skip commercials. They can't agree on that number.

    Personally I hate Dish. Worked in their IT dept. A TOTAL sweatshop. Worse place I've ever worked as a professional.

    I was pissed when they dropped AMC. If they drop 9 & 20 that will be it for me. I'll go regular TV with Netflix and Hulu +.

    I am gonna have to check that out for the new season of the Walking Dead. For now I am paying cheap for dish and can't afford to swap to Direct but as soon as I can I am gone.

    My buddy Joe works in tech support there. He seems to enjoy it. I almost got a job there earlier this year.
