You guys are going to break Mitch with logic.. stop that. Dish has to be shady, no other answer will exist.
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.
Obviously you can upgrade your existing SlingTV services and get the ARPU up that way.
What would be the point of paying as much or more for SlingTV than you would for a full fledged satellite service with DVR, etc.?
Dish could also more likely just added subs to their satellite service.
The only way to resolve this controversy is for Dish Network to release its subscription numbers separately for Satellite and SlingTV services. I won't be holding my breath as Dish doesn't want the public to know.
There's no controversy. They don't break it down that way and you are free to like or not like it that way. Regardless, this is good news for Dish.
Shareholders could care less where subscribers were gained or lost, or if there were gains or losses period, as long as Dish earns a tidy profit, plus "beats the street" with .70 EPS rather than the estimated .66 EPS, they could care less. I have a little investment in Dish that has did quite well of late. I hope they continue to do well. It will be interesting to hear or read the transcript from the conference call when ever it is scheduled for.
You can't count sling Tv numbers PERIOD.
I see more advertising for sling than I do Dish.
The fact of the matter is they are still loosing satellite subscribers.
I'm so sick of the cheating. Even Comcast fudges their video subscribers by offering a package with locals and HBO with their internet packages.
They need more video subscribers, they just take away some of the internet only packages making it cheaper to take the bundle.

While I agree with you,
Not so sure with increasing ARPU, Flex really did anything extravagant.
FLEX with with locals, Hopper 3 and say HBO is only $75.
You don't get Rising ARPU by customers spending less than the $85 average last time around.
While Flex is a Nice in the door price.
I would love to see a real number just to see how many of those Flex customers actually switched to Top 200 once they realized a few Ad ons , and your spending more and getting less.
Again we agree, $20-40 per month customers don't increase an ARPU from $86-88 .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.
Especially when you're only Talking about 28,000 sub additions.
The two year price lock deal on the T200 made more sense to me than the Flex pack, and is close enough in price to what Flex would have cost that it didn't matter.

Dish Network CEO: Streaming Video Is Starting To Replace Traditional Pay TV
Providers of streaming services such as DirecTV Now and Sling TV typically try to calm the fears of programmers that like the lucrative traditional pay TV bundle by saying that they aim to supplement, not replace, it. But Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen doesn’t buy that anymore.

I think the streaming services need to be just a bit more mature before I can consider switching to Sling or PS Vue. Other than that, Charlie isn't wrong.
