A little past here, but remember that you do not pay for any channel individually. Per your agreement, you pay for a package sold as subject to change. It addresses the addition and removal of channels.

So they can just drop 20+ popular channels?..a state AG would have a field day with that...1 way contracts are illegal..but alas it was only a couple days so i can put away the popcorn

Yes, they can, and the AG wouldn’t really have anything to say with it at all. There would be no argument to be made, as the contract isn’t for any specific channel or number of channels. Nor is the service agreement. Both make it very very clear about that fact

You accepted the contract terms, thus it is not a 1 way contract.

I strongly disagree..the contract doesn't provide any benefit to the consumer...just the way it is..dish would lose in court...much like the installers who had early cancelation contracts outside of the dish agreement with customers

Yep, and the OP is free to take his business elsewhere just the same.

Yep, and the OP is free to take his business elsewhere just the same.

And possibly pay a penalty to do so...So there is that!

Absolutely. Doesn’t change the contract, however. If in one, customers would pay the fee.

As far as the contract, it is not for any specific channel or set number of channels. It outlines that you will receive the television service signal(albeit there’s more language covering that) and you’ll pay them for said service. Can disagree, but you’ll have to point to either the part of the contract/agreement that justifies your position, OR case law/precedence that supports your position because currently, they all support the providers and channel owners.
