Had a few slide down an asphalt shingle roof a bit, that really tears them up.

Well, if the only Directv dish they have is the original round 18-inch dish, that is a pretty good clue, unless they are still using a really old SD-only receiver. That possibility will not last much longer, though.
It’s not the slide that hurts them, it’s the landing in the driveway
That’s like touching electric wires on a ladder . The jolt won’t kill you it’s the fall that does you in .

I still see more dish network dishes without an LNB than I see an old 18 dish for directv
The house I bought last year has 2 DirecTV dishes in the backyard, both missing the LNBs. They must be ancient as there is no way I can get LOS at their location any more.
I know. But what a great way to advertise how many of your customers cancelled service.
Looks like DTV has lost about 3/4's of a million subs this year so far

it’s all the same crap. i threatened to leave at times, but i have been with them 18 years. it’s costly getting phone from vonage, internet with spectrum, cell phone with AT&T and tv with dish, but i am happy this way. in the end it all costs the same. my only concern is picture quality. i don’t think it has been that good lately
Same thing here, Verizon for cel phone, Spectrum for internet, and tv with Dish. Plus I pay for HBO from Roku.
Many who have stuck it out with Dish after 68 disputes with the loss of the station(s) in the past 8 years. But I think with streaming, and Direct and cable both offering incentives, some have decided to jump ship and probably will not be back. I have talked to several that are getting tired of constant disputes. The only one who really loses is the viewer. Sure Dish "may" make a better deal, but for how long is the station gone? With Sinclair years ago, KATU/KOMO (ABC) were both off Dish for 6 months. Now is is KGW/KING (NBC) Dish generally raises their prices every year anyway. Would a couple bucks more make that much difference? Satellite & Cable are both losing many subs these day and it will be getting worse. Too much money and people can pick more of their programming via streaming.
A few bucks for each channel or group of channels adds up, especially over time. Plus, the negotiated rates go up every year once the deal is struck. At least Dish is trying to keep it in check a bit, for which I am more inclined to give them my business, but it is just one aspect of the whole package. If Dish had Spectrum's crappy DVRs, it wouldn't matter how low the price was.
Price isn't the only thing that is negotiated during these disputes. We have Autohop, Flex Pack, breakout of locals as an optional package, etc. All unique in the pay TV industry. These things are tough negotiations. So there may be a reason Dish is more susceptible to disputes other than the rally cry of "Charlie".
