Dish leases because the average person can't afford to drop 400-600 down to set up a 4 rm set up on their own.
The only reason for the lease is so Dish can recupe the upfront cost for the receivers, dish/LNB and installation. Even then, it typically takes more the 24mths to actually pay off the upfront costs.
