FOX BLOCKS REGIONAL SPORTS CHANNELS FROM DISH NETWORK VIEWERS

Programmer Seeks to Shake Down DISH Network and its Customers

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – (NASDAQ: DISH) – Oct. 1, 2010 – DISH Network L.L.C. reports today that FOX Networks is blocking DISH Network’s access to 19 FOX Regional Sports Networks and other programming. FOX is demanding a new contract with an unprecedented rate increase of more than 50 percent. FOX’s removal of the channels follows the programmer’s national TV, print and web advertising campaign designed to intimidate DISH Network and its customers into paying the rate increase. FOX has flatly refused DISH Network’s request to allow customers to continue to watch these FOX channels during the negotiations. These negotiations with FOX do not affect local FOX TV stations, FOX News or FOX Business News.

“DISH Network is not going to allow FOX or any programmer to bully our customers into paying such an unconscionable price increase,” said Dave Shull, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network. “FOX has a long history of trying to shake down pay TV providers, including Cablevision, Time Warner, and Bright House. Shull continued, “Our customers should not be held hostage in order to finance FOX’s irresponsible acquisition of sports rights. Consumers are already burdened enough in this challenging economy.”

DISH Network will continue to negotiate in good faith for a fair deal with FOX to help restore the sports programming and prevent outrageous rate increases in this challenging economic environment. In the meantime, during the FOX lockout, DISH Network will make the following channels available to all affected customers at no additional charge: HD Net Movies, HD Theater, NBA TV, New England Sports Network, NFL Network, NHL Network, Altitude Sports, Big Ten Network, Comcast SportsNet California, Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, Comcast Sports Network Mid-Atlantic, Comcast Sports New England, ESPN Classic, FOX Sports Northwest, FOX Sports Pittsburgh, FOX Sports Rocky Mountain, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network2, SportsNet New York, and SportsTime Ohio. DISH Network has created a series of websites to help inform consumers about the nature of this dispute: Read about it here. Dish Network Questions?

Great Service From My Dish Network Installer:
I recently was very impressed with the knowledge of my Dish Network installer, I moved into a home with only one cable coming into the new 2.6 million dollar home. The problem was that the one cable already was being used by Cox Cable for the internet and phone service. My ingenious installer used the out side of the cable to run the Dish Network signal into the home without having to run new lines.  Then the installer split the signal to allow we to use both TV sets one was upstairs and one was down stairs. It is working great…. Thank You! If there is water damage or fire damage to my house and the satellite dish or equipment gets damaged what should I do after I call a 24 hour plumber to fix the broken water pipe?

I Am So Happy With Dish Network:
Comcast was trying to get me to sign up, they tell you all these stories to try and get you to switch but I am glad I stayed with Dish Network. I did have to get Comcast phone and Internet, the Internet works good but the phone service is such a rip off. They charge you for everything, and they cannot seem to get it right. There price for phone service is outrageous. I will be switching to Vonage  or someone else as soon as possible.
