Part of the story:The country's second-largest satellite TV provider has terminated relationships with at least 23 retailers across the country since September. The Douglas County-based Dish says it believes those resellers engaged in fraud and misrepresented customer accounts.

"I think we're being more vocal about our efforts," said Jeff Blum, a Dish vice president and associate general counsel. "We want others to know there are consequences if you steal our signal or engage in fraud."
