My parents have Dish and they yanked all of the AMC networks on July 1 (AMC, IFC, Sundance, WE). Still no agreement there.

They also have no NBC station currently due to a dispute with WFMJ (Owned locally by the Youngstown Vindicator). But it's OK because WFMJ is fucking awful and I set them up with their old digital antenna in case it drags out into the Olympics.

Your rate went up $58 in the last year? They didn't raise your rates like that. You had to have added programming or more receivers. Post a pic of your bill.

Perhaps a free HBO trial ended or something... They love to talk you into those, but then they stay on at full price after that until you call and bitch to cancel.

$20 per month for whatever is left on your contract.
