Dish Warns Users of TV Price Hikes in New Year The steady decline in pay TV subscribers annoyed by soaring rates doesn't appear to be slowing down industry rate hikes. Dish is just the latest major pay TV provider to unveil its customary new year rate hikes, the company informing customers that they can expect increases between $2 and $8 per month on most of the company's pay TV plans in the new year. Various fees, like Dish's regional sports fees, will also be seeing an increase once 2018 rolls in. Cox, DirecTV and Comcast have also been informing customers of notably higher rates in the new year.
