Many subscribers came back, including me. Also you want to keep your current customers happy. With the churn rate as it is, Dish needs to delight their customers, there is just too much competition out there.
The fact that Sling TV won't carry Fox News is quite strange. It is the number one basic cable channel, more popular than ESPN.
...which is precisely why Dish doesn't want their customers using the Fox News Go service, because it would cost Dish money. Mystery solved.
So Dish isn’t included so that tells you it is definitely free? Your logic doesn’t make sense. Read my full post. There is no such thing as free.
As a Dish customer, I am perfectly content with less Faux anything, so they are definitely keeping me happy and delighted!
Pretty sure I've run into other apps that don't work on Dish as well as apps that didn't work for DirecTV customers when I subscribed I seriously doubt it is a Dish treating Fox unfairly thing. I am sure it is a Dish and Fox treating each other per the terms of their contract thing, as much as that may be an inconvenience to you and others.
FWIW: I tried using my parent's Spectrum account, and I got the FAQ page saying it wasn't available on "connected devices." I suspect Spectrum needs to work on renegotiating their contract with Fox as well. This suggests to me that Fox is charging extra for the service in some way.
You are talking about a very small amount of money lost. It didn't stop any of the other hundreds of cable companies and DTV from allowing it.
At some point, they have to start thinking about making customers happy,not just fattening their own wallets. Have you seen Dish's churn rate recently?
How about less CNN, the Crap News Network?
You have to have Spectrum Cable TV service and FNC has to be in the package. If you aren't getting it you can call their repair service.
Have you guys considered switching to Welcome Pack? No Fox News or CNN in that package.
I wish I could like that about 50 times...or more!
A person can always switch to a provider that better suits their needs.
Agree and why are we being force fed CNN on flex. This is very politically partisan on Dish's part. Take CNN off Flex or add Fox News. And adding news package and Paying extra doesn't count.
Removing all news from packages or having all news is the only fair non partisan way to handle packages in this very politically charged period.
You are so wrong. Even the Fox News website states that many providers don’t carry Fox News Go. Fox charges extra for providers to offer Fox News Go. It is not free. Many of the internet add-in networks show advertisements. That does not mean that they are free.
Can you name me a provider doesn't carry Fox News GO, besides Dish? I noticed that Dish does carry CNN GO, very interesting indeed.
I want to stay with Dish, but they are making it very difficult for me.
They do. Apparently, it doesn't work with their Spectrum login on my Roku or Fire TV.
I suspect it has a lot more to do with the fact that CNN cost Dish less to put in Flex than Fox News than any political agenda. Charlie donates to members of both parties. Not everything has a political motivation, despite what CNN, Fox, etc. would have us believe.
Jackson Energy Authority of Jackson TN apparently does not. Kind of beside the point though.
Do you have a HWS or Hopper3? Have you considered trying Dish Anywhere?
Mitch doesn’t agree. And he thinks because others have something, it automatically makes it free.
Don't want to get too political here on this forum but saying Dish is being partisan for having CNN, but then asking for Fox news is making me want to face palm myself for being dumb enough to even read that. Fox news invented and perfected Partisan News reporting....
