Parent Made a big mistake signing up for Dish Network! Any help appreciated

Do you think Dish wouldn't pay the extortion if they thought it would increase their profit by doing so? It's so bad Direct assesses a surcharge to their subs. The current $3 surcharge to new subs is thought to barely cover the cost. Sports addiction is costly.

Good point.

Any further word on this?

And as for Dish being the only MVPD in the LA area NOT carrying the new TWC Lakers channel, Dish claims TWC wanted over $3 per subscriber. My brother is really upset, but I can't see price conscious Dish paying more for a limited (although popular) quasi-regional sports channel for over $3 per subscriber, and one must presume at around the AT 120 level, as well, and augmented with crap programming like a Lakers Girls reality series and at length videos or reality shows featuring some of the players other such cheap to produce filler programming for what is approaching ESPN fees (those are to go up, too). I have no doubt Dish offered some sort of a la carte, but these greedy sports franchise owners know no bounds.
