Dish now has PAC 12, SEC and Longhorn net. DirecTV has none of those. Dish is much better for College Sports.
They've been saying a la carte is the future for how many years now???It's all fine and dandy until your bill goes up $15/month. If everyone just gave a big middle finger to cable/satellite, we could have a la carte sooner than people think.

The consumer along with channels people actually watch would come out ahead. I'm sure the $3-5 I would spend on ESPN is more than they get from Dish currently.They've been saying a la carte is the future for how many years now???
A la carte isn't happening any time soon. No one comes out ahead.
People are just going to shut down their viewing en masse in some hope that all the cable companies will disband their systems and implement some massive, expensive change? How exactly does that work?
That's what it would take to happen. The current landscape is littered with BS channels that just kept getting added every year and the providers bend over for another $1/subscriber/month. Those $1's add up. If we went back to the basic 20 cable channels (ESPN, TNT, Discovery, etc) it would be better. Or like I said a la carte. I understand a la carte would be more expensive on a per channel basis (say if I got ESPN only it may be $15/month) but I would gladly pay that than waste the other $65 on honey boo boo reruns.The consumer along with channels people actually watch would come out ahead.

That's the problem, not enough people are giving it up. I can't believe how many people spend $80/month on TV. To each their own, but I can think of something better to use almost $1000/year on.
