Fox Soccer Plus: NO free preview for us

[psychotrope]

Why not us? Why does Dish never participate in FSP's free previews? They are few and far between, but I never understood why it's not on Dish.
From the Fox Soccer Plus Web site (Note the "Participating Providers" and who's missing from that list):

October 14, 2013

Does DISH even carry Fox Soccer Plus? I know they carries Fox Soccer Channel which morphed in Fox Sports 2. But I am not sure if they carry Fox Soccer Plus.

Dish never carries the free preview for FS+. I have no idea why.

Dish, like Directv, charges a lot for Plus. I've seen that some cable carriers include it with their normal sports packages. Of course, their bill is probably much higher than mine. And at $15 a month for a SD channel... how many buyers can their be?

I think they still do.

Yes, Fox Soccer Plus is available for $15/month from Dish on channel 391 in glorious Standard Definition.

I've never seen the need for Fox Soccer Plus nor do I see what it's $15 a month.

It was better a few years ago when SD was common... and when they had the rights to the EPL. Now you really need to be a rugby junky to pay that much, and apparently, you can stream some English rugby content via their leagues website online now.
