Dump DISH Network?

Just got a notice in my e-mail that Dish Network is raising their rates yet another $5.00. That makes a $15.00 increase since we signed up with them around four(?) years ago. These guys are almost as bad as cable.

They're blaming it on local affiliates, KAEF to be specific. There's an Dish Network ad in the Times- Standard today urging people to call KAEF to complain. Anyone know more about that?

Found this back and forth in the Dish Support Forum where some are complaining and a Dish guy is trying to placate them. One guy says he'll dump Dish if they won't penalize him for violating the contract. I'm awfully tempted to, too, but the wife is the big TV watcher and she would not be happy.
