For the record, and you can get this from their annual report, Dish had just over 13 million customers in 2006 and for 2007, they had a little under 14 million.

They will when their DVR gets shut off by court order.
How many times has it been announced "Dish must shut down DVRs due to court finding" ? It's been more than once... and they're still working today.

Besides, I asked how Dish losing market share and these issues are related (turns out the story here was just a lot of re-wording of the Multichannel News article anyway). If a customer's DVR did get shut off, they're obviously already a Dish customer, and therefore not part of the "lost" market share. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20611507 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 16:39:01 EDT Re: Financial trouble ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20611389 DataDoc :

Dish has the money that's been decided/awarded from the earlier court case sitting in a fund specifically for the time when they finally "lose". They even mention it in their annual report filing.

In part due to these issues, Dish has been consistently losing market share to DirecTV.
When/where have these two issues been tied together ? The average consumer neither knows nor cares about court/patent battles that a company is involved in.
They do when it shows up as a line item compliance fee on their bills.
