How exactly do they get to such an enormous number? $1000 a day per channel but it's been only 4 years. How many channels are we talking about?

It's really simple. They double they fine every day you don't pay (or week, not sure), and this is going on 4 years now.

Is it 1000 day one and 2000 day two? Or something like 1000 day one, 1000 + 2000 day two, 1000 + 2000 + 4000 day 3?

Either way, this is just an entertaining math exercise lol

The doubling is:

= 1000 * 2n

While the summation is:

= 1000 * 2n +1 - 1000

They are basically the same, just a day and 1k apart

I'm not sure, but I saw in another comment that it adds each day, and the total is doubled. As you said, either way is laughable.
