Yes. It sinks my ship on ripping the subscribers off.They fall into the same dept as the big corrupt oil companies .$6 bucks a month WOW .I only got the basic 26 channels and I pay $30 bucks for it with all the extra BS charges they tack on the bill.With those extra charges .Its like those inflated convenience fees from Ticketbasturd tacked on our concert tix.

GUARANTEED $14.99 for the first year, and $34.99 after that. EXCEPT THEY ARE F*CKING LIARS! About 3 months in, they raised the CONTRACT!!!! rates, and said, "local stations charge more now, so the only was we can honor the contract, is by dropping all your local stations(or raise the price)". So they now extract $55 from my checking account monthly, which is still better than CC, EXCEPT unless it's snowing, or raining, or even SPRINKLING, then you're left with "complete signal loss" for hours. If I wasn't addicted to the Food Network, HGTV, and TVLAND, I'd just tell em to shove it, and go to CC basic $20 package. THEY ALL SUCK!

My sister has Dish and she hates it.Yes she had to go out to brush the snow off the dish to watch TV.Maybe they should put a heater coil in the dish to melt the snow on it.She said she will go with ATT U-verse as soon as her package runs out. I have ATT U-verse for my internet ISP and it works great.I had problem with it with modems crapping out .Dropping connection at times but they were quick to fix the problems.

Plus I want to add .Why us subscribers get stuck with channels that we never tune in and watch.ESPN and other sports channels come to me since I'm not a sports fan like I used to be.

ESPN is the most expensive channel with their per subscriber fees of approx $5 to $6 bucks a month on the subscribers bill.
