Texas one of the most non union friendly states in the nation has shops becoming part of CWA. The company went on a firing spree and Dish got smacked by a federal labor judge over thier actions against these union shops.
Why does Dish seem to have more Provider Disputes?

We have 80 without much effort on DTV. This is what happens when you compare. Dish isn't as bad as they first seemed to be. I'm sure if we actually researched this, we would find that there really isn't a huge difference, as different contracts expire. Especially if we do it over a, let's say 10 years span since it is multi year agreements, and I bet that it's just a revolving cycle between both companies.
But it's so much more fun to parrot others' unverified claims.
Saying they dropped 120 channels makes ti sound bad but how many of these channels actually affect just one customer. Just because Dish lost a CBS affiliate and 40 markets were affect doesn't mean that a Dish customer just lost 40 channels. The reason I say this is because it's very misleading when you say Dish has dropped 120 over the last year. A person coming here to get some info may be very confused when they see that.
Doesn't DirecTV have just as many disputes with these O&O channels?

You are 100% correct. You covered half of what we were saying, your other half of the argument(how many people affected) is even better. If we removed the local disputes from the records entirely, and only posted national disputes, as then that's how everyone would be affected, how many channels would be on the list?
You're just used to the service and equipment you started with
Just like me with Directv and would probably be weird learning the channel numbers among other things
If I was to switch to Dish.

Those are just some I can recall,because they are channels that affected my families viewing.I know there have been plenty more,but that is a significant list imho.Again,I have no problem with Dish taking a stand,my issue is that we still get huge increases every year,whats the point if it there is no major cost savings.

Speed was converted to Fox Sports 2 so it wasn't dropped.

No speed was dropped during the Fox dispute,that was entirely different dispute.

Be very careful, I wouldn't call DTV and ask them the time of day. Everything you do with them extends your contract 2 years. You can't even change programming w/o extending you contract for 2 years.
What I remember was when FOX did the Speed/FS2 conversion
It was still under contract so FOX couldn't negotiate a price for several provider's, at the time
Although I also remember that FOX did wanted to charge Dish for it's CF games
And made a deal that included having FS2 in HD.

Stop trying to spread manipulation
Changing programming doesn't add
2 year commitment.

Google search DISH provider disputes and check out the wikipeida site for more details .
Well, Directv lost 19 Viacom channels, plus Weather Channel....and a pending lost of 4 AMC channels. So, over time, they are pretty equal.
Lets not go overboard here. You sound like the people that say Dish drops channels every week when you do this.
