- Government Actions:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:State of Colorado, Office of the Attorney General, Assurance of Discontinuance in the matter of Dish Network LLC
The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On March 23, 2022, DISH Network will no longer charge consumers an unnecessary HD fee under a settlement reached with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office announced today. In some cases, Coloradans could save as much as $120 a year on their bills because of this action.
DISH Network charged the HD fee for years after high-definition television became standard. Doing so, as the Attorney General’s Office explained, is an unfair and misleading practice under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
DISH, a Colorado-based company, eliminated its HD service fee for new subscribers in 2015. Nonetheless, it continued to charge the $10 monthly fee to some customers who signed up prior to 2015. When the Attorney General’s Office began its investigation, DISH acted quickly in early 2022 to halt that charge for the 2,480 Colorado customers who were still paying it. As of February 15, 2022, no Colorado DISH customers are paying the HD fee.
