Nothing more, nothing less.

Dish viewers will have to actually learn that Faux is nothing but a propaganda outlet.

Don't switch, you'll be better off!

I just went to their site, and I am not seeing that banner. I do have AdBlock though.

Fox asks court to block sales of Dish Hopper with Sling

Fox Broadcasting contends that Dish doesn't have the right to make "bootleg, commercial-free, on-demand programming available over the Internet and on mobile devices via Sling."

So, it's not likely FOX Snooze is going to come out getting what they want in this particular negotiation. Add to that the fact that DISH is being lambasted by FOX for going dark on their "news" networks 10 minutes early, which according to FOX was, "in an attempt to intimidate and sway our negotiations." And DISH is claiming FOX attempted to include other channels not up for contract negotiation saying, "It's like we're about to close on a house and the Realtor is trying to make us buy a new car as well," per Warren Schlichting, Dish's senior vice president of programming.

Between this, and DISH not caving to CNN in the recent past, I'm starting to think I may want to take another look at what they have to offer.
