EPL Talk: GolTV Tells Dish Network Customers To Switch

  • jm · 1 year ago
    Wow! I really have to eat crow on this one, I counseled patience, suspecting that this would be resolved shortly.

    What a hassle for Dish subscribers!

    the problem for me is that dish has international
    chaneles that direct tv doesnt have,since i am
    from israel the only thing that keep me with dish
    is the israeli chanel,i hope that people will write
    and complain so that goltv wil come back.

    Between August 1st and now, plenty of soccer fans nationwide have cancelled their DISH Network subscriptions and signed up with DirecTV instead..

    What all four of you???

    Will, you smart arse ; )

    I've received a ton of e-mails from frustrated GolTV viewers who were on Dish but have now switched to DirecTV.

    Feel free to read the message boards on BigSoccer.com to see how many more people are upset about the whole deal and have switched too.

    Cheers,

    This is why I got Gol TV. I am subleasing now but the moment I get back home I am changing. Not just because gol told me too. Any channel that pro AC I am no fan of either but...

    Yeah, same reasoning for me on balking on Dish...I finally moved into an area where satellite was possible and I'm back to Comcast until the GolTV thing gets resolved...Else, it's Direct TV for me

    I see the channel is posted in the dishnetwork channel lists, are those old lists or did they reach an agreement?

    Time Warner still does not offer GolTV in most of its markets.

    GOLTV was added to the Spanish Tier of service for Brighthouse Cable System which used to be a Time Warner Company. I called the help line to ask if it was going to also be added to the Sports Tier which I am a current customer of since the programming is in English and not Spanish and she wasn't even aware that GOL was even on the cable system. I decided to bite the bullet and pay the extra 3 bucks a month to see Real Madrid and Barca games and if it is added to the Sports Tier I will call and cancel the Spanish service. Now I just have to remember channel 913.
