Fox wants to raise the cost DISH pays per subscriber. DISH doesn't want to pay an increased cost, because they will have to increase your bill to cover it.
You didn't think Fox lets DISH (or any other cable/satellite provider) distribute it for free, did you?
Also Direct TV has the NFL games on Sunday Ticket!
DISH is trying to keep costs down for you. That’s why they negotiate. To benefit you.
Dish needs to switch to a la carte for one year and clear the room. FNC will probably survive but MSNBC, CNN, and about 50 othe useless channels will vanish.

Rob Lowe is not going to take this standing at a urinal!

“DIRECT TV is looking better and better all the time . This might be the final straw for me & Dish ..... I hope to see a number of Dish execs FIRED over this one . Who are these morons anyway? “
Dish is THE worst about this kind of BS: they do this ALL the time. It’s why I switched to DirecTV a couple of years ago, namely Dish dropped the AMC channel line up then.
Since then, I’ve never looked back, even though DirecTV is a bit more expensive. I like the GUI and functions of DirecTV better, and like the fact that they attempt to start and stop program recordings when the programs actually start and stop instead of on automatic half hour boundaries like Dish always used to do.
I wish more people would get up off their lazy butts and switch service providers pull these kinds of stunts. It’s really the only thing they’re going to pay attention to, namely mass numbers of customers fleeing to competitors.
Ditch Dish.
If you have separate broadband, you can us ROKU streaming and Netflix for $8 a month.
Always something on, when you want it...way more TV and movies than you could possibly ever watch.

DISH complaint #
Dish tv is getting to be a joke. Home shopping channels and reruns is all they show. Pretty pitiful. Direct does look better at time goes on.
Ok direct tv/dish users. How reliable do you find the signal. Thinking of dropping cable but keep hearing about bad signal breakup in bad weather.
Was a customer of theirs for six years. Had a package w/o any movie channels and when they jacked my rate up to over $100/mo. from $60/mo (which was also too high) I dropped them like a rock.
I'll tell you straight-up Cable & Satellite TV aren't worth the cost. We use our Roku with NetFlix and Hulu Plus (total $16/mo.) and haven't regretted dropping DirecTV for a single minute.
Starting next year Nielsen will be rating online viewing such as Netflix streaming. This is going to kill traditional cable and Satellite. Dish already knows this and it’s why they will not pay a lot money to carry a channel.
Then you have channels like HBO, Showtime, CBS and now NBC that will be offering a monthly subscription at $4.99 a month to the public. This was not allowed in the past, but it’s finally here. More and more channels will be following soon too. So going forward people do not have to have a cable or satellite subscription anymore. All you need is a high speed internet connection.
It’s ala-cart TV in other words. It makes sense since most people only watch 10 to 20 channels at the most on average. This is even though they have 100 channels or more.
Companies like Roku, Amazon, Google and Apple already have devices that turn your TV so it’s like a smart with all the Apps. Roku just the other day now has over 2000 channels that you can choose to add. Some require a monthly subscription while many are free.
not only that
but this morning when I tried to get FOXNEWS online I found that Glenn Beck was now at that website..
I thought F&F had gone mad until I realized it was the always nuts Glenn Beck..
