comcast screwing dish network subscribers

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your email. OLN, which is owned by the cable company Comcast,
failed to deliver to EchoStar's DISH Network customers the scheduled NHL
game between the Florida Panthers and New York Rangers at 7:00 p.m. ET on
Monday, October 17, 2005 and the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadians on
October 18, at 7:30 p.m. ET without any advance notice whatsoever to our
subscribers. We are disappointed that Comcast, the largest cable TV company
in the nation, has opted to bully DISH Network customers rather than fulfill
its obligations under a binding agreement with EchoStar. We will continue to
pursue all remedies and hope to resolve this quickly. This situation also
effected the NHL games scheduled for last week.


Comcast is demanding DISH Network repackage OLN to deliver OLN to additional
subscribers who are not interested in paying for OLN or NHL games. We will
not allow Comcast to bully DISH Network subscribers in this way.
