Wow, it's amazing that Dish Network does not have ESPN. It seem from your surprise Dish gave no warning this was going to happen. Not surprising. You might already know this, but if not, hopefully this might help. You could cut Dish Network out and go streaming with Sling or Fubo.tv. Both are cheaper and has all the sports networks. Fubo.tv has 1,000 hours of recording. They both have Pac-12 network. You can sign up with these two streaming networks today. They will give you a week or two, can't remember free to try it out. If you don't like them, you can cancel, no obligation, no cost. At least you can watch Saturday games on ESPN today. I used to have Dish, but left Dish and been streaming ever sense. I have Fubo.tv. I also have Roku on my tv, along with other streaming. Lots of free streaming programs, movies, etc. to watch. Hope this helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it's a long story but I bought dish for my mom to get The Hallmark channel when I moved my parents in with me a couple years ago. Huge regrets. Still have 10 months on contract. Then they are going bye-bye. Dish, not my parents. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On fubo.tv there are also two channels that are called "The Great American Family." My wife likes these channels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw777b No. 12 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Yep. Today was the day I was going to fire up my Sling Orange account again because in the past I could get PAC-12, ESPN, and FS1, etc. When I realized ESPN was no longer available, I stopped the activation. Dish owns Sling. It's time to sling the dirty dish. We already have Hulu, so I added live TV/Disney. All I'm missing is the Pac-12 network. Frankly my dear, I don't give a _________. Why? Because if the Ducks keep improving, I believe other providers will be more inclined to broadcast their games making the Pac-12 Network irrelevant to me. If a game is only broadcast by the Pac-12 Network, I'll gladly listen to Jerry and Jorgy on the Learfield broadcast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I pay the extra for that one channel with a big, fat smile on my face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
