DISH Receives J.D. Power National TV Satisfaction Award for Fifth Consecutive Year

FuboTV Receives First-Ever Award for Highest Satisfaction Score in New Live TV Streaming Segment

DISH ranks highest in three segments of the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Television Service Provider Satisfaction StudySM released today, while Verizon Fios, Midco and FuboTV each rank highest in one segment. The study finds that live television streamers say they pay less for their live television, as the self-reported average cost for cable and satellite television is $110 per month and the average cost for streaming is $68 per month. Overall satisfaction is 699 (on a 1,000-point scale) for cable and satellite and 774 for streaming. Among both groups, the biggest driver for choosing a television provider is a lower price.

“Delivering video to myriad devices both in-home and mobile is actually pretty difficult and yet the service providers in cable, satellite and streaming all make it look easy, creating ever higher customer expectations,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director at J.D. Power. “Highest quality content is quite costly to produce or acquire for all providers. Operating the needed networks and equipment for cable and satellite TV from start to finish versus streamers who can use those networks for middle and last-mile delivery for hundreds of thousands of concurrent streams, are vastly different at a product level regarding cost. Live TV streamers (and their customers) are therefore the beneficiaries of the imbalance and can be seen as providing more value for the subscription dollars spent.”
