Golf Channel Moved to New Receiver Package, Forced Upgrade Required

The Golf Channel #401 we have paid $4.99 to view for several years has been withdrawn (along with several other channels) from our programming and transferred to programming for the new digital receiver they are promoting.
To view The Golf Channel #401 and the other channels moved, we are told we have to upgrade to the new dish and commit to a year's programming to be charged to our credit card.
I have three receivers which are working fine; I don't need to upgrade and I don't want to give them my credit card for billing.
Dish Network customers are being manipulated to upgrade to the latest equipment in order to keep their programming.
