Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?


I’ve Accelerated my research to enter the cord cutting club. Too many red flags...DI$H TV points the finger at the other guy, again, for not being able to negotiate a deal.

Can you let me know the best way you found for the FS1 channel?

Happy trails....
 
YouTube TV with a dab of Philo works great. I'd never consider going back to either Dish or DirecTV.
 

My words exactly

Then you are upset about your bill which would only go up more if they caved to FOX!
What has been the difference in cost historically between Dish and Direct? Dish and Comcast? Dish and ???.

Wouldn't that cost difference between providers INCREASE if these negotiation tactics truly worked? I mean, after all, Dish is fighting so they don't have to pay as much as all the other guys, right? So the price difference between Dish and the other guys should be increasing.
 
SIGH. Again, it's not just about price. Flex pack, optional locals, etc. The price difference between what I pay dish and what I would have to pay any other provider for access to a similar suite of channels is huge. Like half as much.

I never said there wasn't a big difference. Please go read my post again. The question is whether the difference has increased over time and if so, by how much?

And I'm saying the question is moot. If after the dust settles there ends up even more ala carte choice and more options to save money, especially with sports, then it's a win.

That's your opinion. I'm guessing based on threads here some customers don't think the "win" is worth the price they are paying.
 
What good does calling do when you know the problem is a Fox-Dish programming dispute? It's not like the CSR can do anything about.

A lot!

If nobody called, there would be less presser on Dish to come to a resolution and the channels would stay off.

Calling to complain, threatening to cancel your service helps Dish come to a resolution.

If you don’t call, Dish thinks it’s ok and will hold out longer.

The only Thing Dish really cares about is when you pay your bill
