But to fully address this will require going into the politics and will drag the thread off course of a Dish Network theme.
But to fully address this will require going into the politics and will drag the thread off course of a Dish Network theme.I can't even ask a logical question? I wasn't arguing with anyone. It just should not matter one way or another if any channel is in the lineup to someone who does not like to watch that channel. That is what the remote is for!
Sometimes it is refreshing when a customer rep tells the truth. There is nothing that can be done except at the highest levels of Dish. And they are not allowed to volunteer credits to customers unless the customer demands it.
My subscription is for 120 channels. I may watch a dozen of them. Of all the TV I watch, 40% to 50% is Fox News Channel. So based on your logic and My viewing habits I should be entitled to at least 40% off my bill. That doesn't count compensation for disrupting my normal habits and agrivation.
It is true, though. Apples to apples packages are roughly the same price, especially when factoring fees.
Where Dish leads on price is by offering more basic packages with fewer channels for less money.
Its all good bro,I think all these channel disputes are gettin to us lol.No hard feelings on my part.

That's simply is not true. I gave exact apples to apples figures. Most subscribers have the VIP series receivers and as such most are saving like I am over Direct TV a varying range depending on number of rooms. Two rooms saves for me $15 a month. (I would be a lucky Direct TV customer paying a $3 surcharge) Three rooms (As I remember) about $12 for me) I believe one room is $20 less but would have to look again. Also someone posted the Hopper can be quite some less also in some configurations but since I don't have that I have not directly compared.
I have always said long before now those that want the latest technology or with the VIP series have four or more rooms will pay much closer to Direct TV.
Those on the left don't think much of CNN. NPR is the news source. And not because NPR is liberal, but because it is the best place to get intelligent news coverage (without the blatantly biased commentary). And for programs like the Diane Rehm Show and Talk of the Nation, you'll get intelligent perspectives inserted from liberal and conservative sources.
Other than Newsmax, The Blaze on television. Or WorldNetDaily, Newsmax, Fox News, Washington Times, BretBrait, etc... etc... online, and the 12 to 16 or so hours of AM Radio programming available on two to fourstations in the local area. No where to turn?
Then complain to Fox for leveraging a channel you like in order to get better rates on unrelated channels.
Scott has requested that we don't go into that in this forum.
So much for coming to this thread looking for an update on the Fox news dispute.
It's easy for you guys to say "bye" or "see ya" when people post that they are thinking about leaving. You don't get a share of Dish's bottom line. I doubt Dish shares your attitude though. If they did they wouldn't be handing out credits like candy.
Wow, there has been more excuse making for dish in this thread than any of the other dispute threads.
If there were no price increases I'd side with Dish. But there will be. This time around I'll agree with you. Heck, Dish's quality department wont even fix a simple guide issue for a customer.
Yea, it's a shame we have to wade through all the crap just to see that there's no news.
From our perspective, we've had several customers call to complain and quite a few are cancelling. I would not want to be a Dish CSR during this. Just had one guy who's gonna pay a hefty ETF and go to cable.
The Wall Street Journal reports that “there are currently no talks between the two companies.” Tim Carry, the Fox News executive in charge of distribution, said the deal rejected by Dish is the same one that other distributors have accepted. As for the status of the talks, he said, “I’m hearing nothing but crickets.”
I cancelled Dish Sunday. Monday they emailed me with an offer - $25 off times 10 months with a 24 month commitment, plus 3 months free Cinemax & Starz. Not interested.
For me, it's like having multiple restaurants in town which serve a prime rib buffet. When one restaurant stops serving steak and substitutes hamburger because of a supplier dispute, do you continue to patronize them at the old price, and / or ask for a discount, or simply eat at the next place down the street?
Granted, it's not as easy as that because of the equipment involved with Satellite TV. But I'm taking the steps to make swapping easier in the future by leaving both dishes up and wiring in place where it differs between the two systems.
I've done this with my ISP. When the introductory rate goes away, I simply unplug my router from my DSL modem, plug it into my cable modem, and don't skip a beat.
Speak with your wallet, I always say.
well first off I know you have internet....and you have a way to see and reply on this forum......I bet you would find more out faster with the google???? So you think here scott will know before it gets released to major news outlets????? Go to fair and balanced web site....it will be there first, and there allways so very truthful.....
I'm not suggesting that the rep not tell the truth. And, of course, the rep doesn't make policy. But there should be something in place to make the customer feel assured that he or she is welcomed and that the company is on their side.
