"Dish Network Sucks!". Yep, that about covers it.

kls2134u, we completely understand your frustration we with negotiation. Unfortunately, Northwest is known to take programming away from their viewers in an effort to get money. They have done this with other providers twice in the past two years, and as recently as a few months ago. We will continue to work hard towards reaching a fair agreement soon!

How soon? After the football season is over?! We aren't getting all of our programming in the meantime;but, paying the same amount. How is that fair?

It's not just DISH...this has just happened with Cox Cable as well. As of January 1st, we were left without TBS, METV and two other channels because as mentioned by CheriT@DISH, they were trying to negotiate the programing fees with the network(s) or whatever. They wanted to charge COX cable with an increase of 220%!!! Cox said if they agreed, they would have to raise the customer's cable bill. We were without those channels for one week...if it was going to be any longer, I was going to call them for an adjustment on my cable bill. Afterall, if we would be charged more for those channels if we got them, then, by golly we should pay less if we don't get them...the bill should not remain the same. Yeah, I know, they can be changed 'without notice'...but, I would have still called about it. Man-O-Man, a WEEK without the Honeymooners!! HOW DARE THEY!!!

We are having the same experience with trying to watch the Yankees play on ESPN, a channel we pay for, but don't get the game when it's on. Dish says well it should be on a local channel, but it's Not!! So each time this happens we call, and ask for a manager, and demand credit on our bill each time we do not get the channel we are paying for, and we get that credit. If a bunch of us do this they will loose a lot of money, and then Maybe they will get the point.
