There's no need to exaggerate.

frankly, if Directv picks up MTN and Dish does not, I may stick with Dish just because it would be a pain to switch.

I'd definitely stick with Dish. I'm certain I could find a local tribe member with DirectTV. Outside of BYU football and bball games, it's not likely I would watch the mtn on a regular basis.

You freakin' communist...I can't tell you how many wonderful women's softball games, men's tennis and wonderful one-hour specials with women hoops coaches that I have seen. It is also nice to know that if I missed the epic Wyoming--CSU hoops game from the night before, I can watch it about 6 more times throughout the week. Long live the mtn and its high end programming.

I also have Dish, NOT Direc.

I believe it is Dish's M.O., to let Direc hammer out new deals for channels to add, and then Dish usually follows. Besides, if Direc adds the mtn and Dish does not follow VERY quickly, Dish will lose a LOT of customers.

Directv has more customers than Dish.

"nearing agreement". Is "nearing" in the geological strata eons context? Like maybe when the Rocky Mtns are round nubs?
