Hard to keep track of which opportunistic ******** you're speaking of, but regardless...

$30.00 off for the next 6 months (got connected to the retention department). CSR started with $5, then went to $10, followed by $20 and then finally $30.00. As much as I'd rather have the channels, $180.00 will help pay for the cost of an alternative during this most recent pissing match.
Yea so?
You as the subscriber paying the monthly bill hold all the cards. Without you, there is no Dish network.
The contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. One complaint to the BBB or attorney general and you can usually get out of it. That's not only holds true for Dish, but Directv, comcast, AT&T and any other provider that requires a contract.
My only complaint about Dish EVER, is that they are bending over too far to the money grabbers, AKA generation "G" ( GIMME!)
As opposed to the generation that simply bends over and takes what they "Dish" out? My conscience will let me sleep just fine tonight.
I'm a regular on TVBTN.
0.2 is HORRIBLE in the key demo and he was lucky that it's the holiday season or the top 100 would've never made it that far down.
Also how is a .2 in the demo the #1 cable channel? You know USA is the #1 cable channel right? You know The Walking Dead is the #1 cable show right?
Your link proved my case for me.

Don't even need google, just go to their website.
If you stream your channel for free, you have no right to ask for an increase.

Would be nice if it didn't ask for a provider....

I can't like this post enough. Several years back (before my promotions), I was an account specialist, who you get transferred to when you threaten to cancel. I was in that position for AMC, and we sadly gave away way too much money in 2012 for that. It affected the price increase in 2013, it severely reduced the tools at my disposal to then keep customers in the months afterward. That department has a budget, and things like this eat into it. The 2015 price increase is already cast in stone, but I expect all the demands for compensation (when, frankly, none is warranted...the contract is very clear), will affect how much (or how LITTLE) those agents will be able to use to save customers. It will also affect future price increases.
So, those of you who are simply scrambling for freebies, thinking it's magic money that falls from trees, don't complain when the discount offers you enjoy are no longer available. If there is a price increase you did not expect. If the 2016 price increase is huge. If you call and threaten to cancel, and you're not offered any more than $10/month. I can tell you, the greedy opportunists taking advantage of this WILL affect the business rules for account specialists in the next few months.
Each action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Man this thread is getting vile. So hard to believe it has anything to do with the Fox News Channel.
Or, conversely, if the same people who defend the price increases in that other thread also insist here that Charlie is justified in these these channel disputes because he keeps prices so low?
So....you choose your source of news and information based on the attractiveness of the newsreaders?
I hope you don't choose your doctors or elected officials that way.
They were originally going to raise it $7.10.
Yeah some folks don't know what it means to honor a commitment when they sign a contract. Kind of sad actually.
