And admitted as much, though I'm sure there are others for whom the effects of 'must carry' are the clincher in the deal, whether 'needed for work purposes', or just because there are channels that they want to see and use their disposable income to fund. The disparity in channel ranges is too great for cable and satellite to be a strict either/or, and presenting it as such is a tad dishonest (not that you are, but plenty of people do, not least the cable companies).

And more may be unnecessary, but if one person objects, even when you say "but you do understand that if you object to this we'll have three dishes rather than one?", as happened in one building I lived in, then there's not a lot you can do.
