What nearly all of these people don't get when this kind of thing happens between a Satellite provider, and a Network is that the Sat provider is the middle man who occasionally has to renegotiate deals to carry any certain network for a contracted amount of time. So it is very likely that NEWS INC wants more money from DISH than they are willing to pay right now. These dimwits on the facebook comments are all threatening to switch to the other provider which also has contract disputes with different networks from time to time.
