What you say is absolutely true.

That being said...Dish is getting pretty greedy according to my monthly bill.

When they start jacking around with FoxSportsSW and I can’t watch the Mavs...I’ll pull the plug and go to an antenna. (I live in a rural area and can’t get tv any other way.)

I may do that anyway...I only really like Cavuto on Fox anyway.

Dish is getting pretty greedy according to my monthly bill.

A couple of years ago, my cable TV/Internet bill would increase about $3 per year in $1.50 increments. At that time, my town of 14k was studying the viability of becoming a local cable TV/Internet provider. They have been the electric provider since the early 1900s.

Cable Co begged citizens to vote it down. The issue finally went of a vote and lost by a big margin. Cable Co crisis averted.

To show their appreciation, the Cable Co raised my TV/Interent bill by about $10.00. The next year, they did the same with another near-$10.00 increase.

They did double the speed of the Internet, which is nice when they are not frequently working on their equiment and lines, thus causing sporadic and intermittent Internet outages.
