No, they didn't. I spoke with a Dish Rep and he told me the same thing. However its a lie.

In fact, the NFL just filed suit against Dish Network for doing this. Dish Network's press release on the matter explicitly stated that they were moving NFL Network to their Top 200 package because the NFL decided to air the Giants/Patriots game on NBC and CBS as well as the NFL Network. That move cut into their revenue.

Oh, and thank you very much for that link. Their viewer doesn't work on my Mac, but I'm going to give it a shot on my WinXP virtual machine....
