I understand your point but I also paid $200 plus installation for my 2h/3j system. Plus it's not like the equipment is useless if I quit. They can still put it in someone else's house and charge another $200 plus installation.

That's assuming you're one of the consumers that actually cares and returns the equipment. Also people may only watch a few channels, but they have signed up for the delivery of several hundred channels of programming, so Dish is still delivering programming to customers the content of said programming is just changing.
I've said it before, if you don't want to be concerned with a contract or programming disputes, then buy the equipment and come and go as you please.
To those of you with DISH wanting to watch Minnesota....BigTen Network has messed it up and they currently have no feed due to 'technical difficulties'...so you aren't missing much.
That may be, but this is how providers do it (Dish, Direct, your cell phone, cable boxes, ect). If you buy the equipment, you can leave whenever you want. If you want equipment at no cost, you get the contract that you must abide by or pay the termination fee.
Programming is available from many other sources. You are signing up for delivery.
Unless some form of ala-carte comes about, the argument that one is signing up just for specific programming is moot as Dish can't give anyone specific programming, they can only deliver bundled programming and said bundle can change at any time.
I dont know what everyone is belly aching about? You should be used to all the double talk, penny pinching, and cut throat tactics by dish network!!!!! Same old bull sh*t different day!!
Again another dispute...another ch dropped to save us money...but who wants to bet that come February our rates go up???
I've always been one of the biggest defenders of Dish on here, but today I'll pulled the trigger on Directv. I'm not happy that I'm losing Epix and Retroplex, but it just gets old going thru this over and over. With the BTN it's even worse, since it's a here and gone thing, over and over lately. There were about five channels that I wouldn't go without, and unfortunately for Dish, they found one of them. The longer I wait, the more backed up the installs will be here in Big 1o country, so no more waiting.
Just wondering....and trying to be a bit hopefull that because on the channel big ten was one, it talks about continued talk. Is that just talk....or is it something realistic that they are trying to work something out
What other business results in paying customers being caught in the crossfire so often?
I can live without BTN for a few weeks, but something has to change. It is unacceptable that Dish repeatedly cannot reach contract agreements without impacting their customers. Negotiations should be transparent to the customer except in the most extreme case, but unfortunately Dish has turned the extreme case into the norm.

If, as rumored, B10 is asking for carriage to all subs, I doubt it comes back. There's a big difference in paying for a RSN and a national channel from Dish's point of view.
DISH Has Dropped BIG 10 Network
I'm sure that rumor is wrong, there is no way BTN is a national network and they know it.
