If we don't like the terms of ANY MVPD, then we should take our business elsewhere. Or is this an industry practice? Either way, vote with your wallet and READ your agreement. Dish, and some other companies, will email all the terms to the consumer for that potential customer to review at leisure BEFORE entering into the agreement, to prevent suprises or terms the consumer may not like and, instead, choose another provider. But if we agree to what was on that contract, then we really should not complain as if we were blindsided. Most often, people just get angry when a company follows the terms of the contract that cost the consumer money they don't want to spend. Then DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THOSE COMPANIES. Hulu and Netflix don't charge for anything beyond your subscription level. That would seem to guarantee avoiding fees for equipment and fees for shipping. Take your business and go OTT and stop giving your money to Dish, DirecTV, Cable, etc. Otherwise, it is what it is, especially if one signs a contract they have a responsibility to READ and UNDERSTAND before agreeing to the terms.
