The complete lack of objectivity and thought in the various remarks about GolTV on Dish Network is amusing.
First, let's look at the phrase " poor negoitation tactics ". You are judging this using what data ?
Dish Network knows how many subscribers watch GolTV, how many leave after channels are pulled, etc. etc.
When Dish Network pulled Voom HD channels, there was mass hysteria on these Forums, you couldn't read any thread without manic "I want my Voom!" posts for weeks.
But, a) Dish Network did focus groups of subscribers, and only a tiny fraction were even aware that Voom channels existed, and b) when the Voom channels were pulled, the complaints to the phone reps were actually much lower than they expected.
Any corporation of this size has many accountants, and there are undoubtedly many spreadsheets of the costs of the increased per subscriber fees versus the cost of losing subscribers.
The poster claims that one factor, for which he has no data, is costing Dish more money than another factor, for which he also has no data. In contrast, Dish has complete data on all these factors.
So all GolTV viewers' comments are entirely emotional rather than rational (no matter how well written).
