Walt Jr. all excited and worked up while Walter drinks a listens. Sort of.

Yes, the conversation is a spoiler if you have not seen how season 4 ended.

 

8 more days until the debit. Can't wait.

 

You watching it on Pay-per-View?

 

Hoping I can find BB online somewhere since Dish screwed us out of AMC.

 

We don't have Dish up here. Is it a major cable provider? What's the beef? Oh, wait, how much money are they fighting over?

 

DISH is one of the two major satellite providers, along with DirecTV. They had a similar dispute with Fox a few years ago, and dumped FX and the regional Fox Sports networks for a few months before settling. I think it has something to do with the networks wanting to raise the rights fees to carry their programming on the various providers. For whatever reason, DISH always wants to play hardball.

 

Yeah, it has something to do with carriage fees. I've actually been pretty satisfied with Dish outside of those two little snits. When the thing happened with F/X, they gave us a free month of HBO to counter it.

As for AMC, they're pretty arrogant to think people will switch service providers over their one station. Take away BB, Mad Men and the Walking Dead, and the rest of their programming is garbage.

 

That's horrid.

 

Last time I post using my phone.

Six more days. . . can't wait.

 

The AMC original programming commercials are funny.

It shows the title card for say Breaking Bad, and you've got a voiceover guy who says "Breaking Bad. Available on cable and satellite. Except DISH Network."

The end.

Ha ha.

 

I dropped cable since the last season of BB.

'm assuming I can buy the episodes individually as they come out on ITunes, like Mad Men, right?

 

Didn't even realize AMC had disappeared from Dish. Disappointing, but I still prefer Dish over DirecTV in a runaway.
