Dish Network charges more for FOX, and people still pay for it.

It's the ONLY reason I subscribe to the top 100 instead of the top 50 package.

I agree but at the same time I couldn't get Fox News at all because Time-Warner (CNN, Time etc.) rules this town. I got Dish three months ago and am totally satisfied. I get better reception, more channels, great music channels, local channels (thankfully this boondoggle for cable was eliminated in Congress) and of course Fox News. And when I move, I pack'er along and set her up at the new homestead.

It was indeed a draw to go to Dish just to get Fox News but I am very confident that in the not-too-distant future that more competition by new stations and new providers will force a cherry-pick system which will still add up but will still save some money. My guess is that when that happens, they will start pay-per-view of sitcoms, dramas, the whole gambit plus episodes that never made it to the small screen.

As far as the Troll goes, the figure of $32.95 is unbelievable; package upgrades generally run around $10 to $12 additional. At the same time I saw no link to a website/press release, just a physical address, and no link to outside commentary. Tack on registration today and you know what you got...an emotionally-charged, intellectually-bankrupt liberal troll.

Oh, by the way, "Hi Moby! By the way: you suck!"
