Revenue up, subscribers down. Maybe some fodder for us to speculate about a merger or acquisition.

Nice Job Dish.
Hopefully that was Satellite customers that were added as well.
But with an Average almost $90 per month I don't see how this could be Sling customers.

Now, I want to see Directvs Losses.
Right Claude.
I bet the tables are going to turn.

Not only that, the average went *up*, not down. If the average went down that would indicate more subscribers to Sling and/or Flex Pack (which is obviously not as profitable as AT packages)
As they say Rome was not built in a day, those figures are encouraging not great, but if a trend then good. Assuming enough subscribers know about it the current customer deals and the Flex packages should help with turnover. It does look like at least some of it came from Satellite subscriptions.
I will say that looking at the industry as a whole, makes the report look even a little better.

Dish's refusal to break out its high-margin satellite TV subscriber numbers from its low-margin Sling TV subscribers is just a way to deceive its stockholders. Clearly Dish is not being honest about its subscriber losses.
Such deception should be banned but I guess they figured out a way to get around being candid with investors.

ARPU went UP! Pretty clear sat subs went UP.
I doubt it. They would be glad to publicize that information if that were the case.
Simple math would lead to the conclusion that if ARPU went up even with the addition of low end SlingTV subs then somebody's spending some money on satellite services. 2+2 still does equal 4. 
DISH Network's Form 10-K will have detailed info once filed later today.
Just looking at overall numbers from last year same time, Quote: The company closed the fourth quarter with 13.671 million Pay-TV subscribers, compared to 13.897 million Pay-TV subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2015. This is 226,000 less subs if math is correct.
