I was really sad when we turned on the tv to watch Dr.Quinn my girls were very sad (5yrs,8yrs,& 10yrs). Dish & GMC need to work together to make it a regular package. How can we make that possible?

Also i changed from Comcast to DishNet work because i couldn't get currentTV on comcast. I hope they keep Keith Olbermann on Dish. I know not everyone likes Keith, but hey , Not everyone likes bill O'reilly either. I think we need more media other than cnn, msnbc, and Fox. most of our news is owned by corporations. I am one that likes all voices, all points of view. The three cable media's are one sided , one way or another. Hope i will not be disappointed with DishNet work. Time will tell.

I am so disgusted with DISH NETWORK! I sent the following email:

I think it is absolutely unfair that just because you resolved your issues with INSP network, that you are now only offering GMC on the top package! I feel, as I know multitudes do, that you should leave GMC offering on your Top 120 package, just to compensate for all the INCONVENIENCE and FRUSTRATION you have caused your subscribers!! (It really should be part of the Family package)! I am so sick and tired of you people changing things! I never had these issues with Direct TV! They have offered to buy out our contract with you, and I am seriously going to discuss this with my husband. We sure wish in this household, that we hadn't made that mistake!

I am also considering going back to Directv. Finally there is something on tv worth watching but of course I'll have to pay top dollar for it. I got the Family Pack for a reason (to watch family friendly shows) so why wouldn't this be part of the Family Pack. If GMC is taken away I will definitely go back to DiercTV!!!!

Better be careful to be SURE and read the fine print in the contract! I HATE DISH NETWORK! I know that Direct TV may be more expensive, but with them at least you GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!

What package do I need to have GMC after the preview months in my programming?

Posted: 17 weeks 1 day ago

This is AWESOME! I have been requesting this channel to be added ever since I switched from cable and was disappointed it was not in the line up. I just wish dish had told me sooner. I just was surfing the guide and accidently saw it. I hope and pray we get to keep it.

Please Dish find a way to compromise so that your customers can enjoy these programs. I am so tired of crime shows, reality tv and talk help shows it is nice to see something different. Hallmark used to be a good channel to watch but now it is all the same thing three hours of Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons and Frazier every single night is too much. I am sorry I do not love Lucy or care much for Martha Stewart. So when I discovered that gmc had some really good shows like Heartland and Dr Quinn I got excited but then realized I wouldn't be able to enjoy them for very long because you two can't come up with a compromise. Hallmark used to have really nice shows Touched By An Angel, McGregor Saga, Avonlea, Dr. Quinn and the of course Little House and the Waltons (if they weren't on every single day for hours on end) but for some reason good shows were replaced with reality and self help shows. People watch tv to escape from the world for awhile and to relax but evidently that has changed. Please come up with a compromise to keep this channel on your packages. PLEASE.

It is truly amazing to me. I am not going to come over as mean but seriously??
What is going to happen to GMC after Oct 11th, it is simple and I can't beleive none of you even thought of this..
THis is a FREE PREVIEW(Does anyone know what that means?) it means that once this free preview is over with on OCT 11th, you would have to subscribe to one of DIshe's packages that it is going into in order to continue to enjoy this channel. So in a sense it well go away for those aren't in the right package to receive this channel. That's what they mean by FREE Preview.

It is a good channel, alot of great family friendly programming, sad that dish couldn't come to an agreement with INSP(but I am sure they are working on getting it back just be paient folks).
Be sure to watch their uplifting videos in the morning they are great. I hope this channel isn't in HD on DISH since it isn't on DIrectv! If it is, then there is something wrong here. Meaning favoriteism on who gets the HD side of GMC!

Yes, and I was told by the Dish Network customer service rep. that GMC was going to given to all subscribers, and now
I see that is just another claim that they have failed to honor! My list of complaints with this company is way too long to post! I am sick and tired of them changing things all the time!! Never had that with Medicom or Direct TV. My hubby and I are so sorry that we ever opted for DISH!

We have just recently went with dish Network. So far i am very pleased. I have heard both good and bad about both DirectTV and DishNetwork. the main reason i decided to go with Dish because i am not happy with News corps. I guess i will have to find out first hand, but i was surfing and ran across GMC and i find myself watching constantly. After my 3 months is up i will keep HBO, america's top 120, america's top 200, america's top 250. I sure hope keeping GMC will not mean it is not in any of these packages. when will i know what to expect ?

I just saw this...AWESOME! I am so excited. Thank you Dish and GMC!

I am sure this may be a worthwhile channel, but it does NOT make up for removing INSP. The programming has similarities, but I miss the teaching programs, the Gaithers and the movies they had. Just because you have ABC does that mean you don't want NBC anymore? And what will happen in Oct? Will this one disappear, too? Somehow I don't trust DISH. I may be leaving, yet, if they don't bring INSP back.

Posted: 19 weeks 5 hours ago

I am loving this channel I just hope we get to keep it after Oct. 11, This is even better than INSP they took away from us. Please, tell us, what happens after Oct. 11?

Posted: 19 weeks 6 hours ago

What happens after October 11th? Does it go away? I love this channel being on Dish. Can't wait to see Dr. Quinn and the Waltons marathon.

Posted: 19 weeks 8 hours ago

Why is my programming different from what you are posting on here and from what is being advertised on the tv? Just wondering because I am interested in some of the shows you say should be on, something besides Fraiser reruns.
