    What a hassle for Dish subscribers!

    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,

    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.
