I lost some of the Braves baseball games in 2013 and this year also. Dish kept telling me they were working on getting them back. Turns out Direct and my local cable company never lost any of them. Dish seems to think they should not have to pay the same as everyone else. I dropped them. I had been with them 14 years.

Who will you switch to when your current TV provider has their next unresolved contract dispute? Fairly recently, Direct lost The Weather Channel for three months, and TWC lost the CBS stations in some areas for a month over carriage fee contract disputes. Each service provider has carriage contracts that expire at different times, so it's not at all unusual for only one of them to lose certain channels at renewal time. The following year, a different service might lose the same channels for some period.

I doubt I will. Dish had lied to me for over a year and kept charging me more money for less product. No discounts for programing I was paying for and not getting. I understand contract problems but not ripping me off for something I am not getting.
