Dish Drops HD Enabling Fee
ADVERTS 1
Its nice to post some good news about Dish Network!
Just got word that as of April 7th Dish Network has dropped the $5 a month HD Enabling fee down to $0!
Customers who had ViP MPEG4 receivers but did not subscribe to HD packages had to pay this $5 a month fee to watch HD locals and HD premium channels.
Its great to see this fee go away... Now only if they got rid of the Per DVR fee...

This would be real nice for those in a financial pinch who had to downgrade to a basic package and locals to save even a little more.
Way to go Dish!
With that being said, here's to hoping this is not the only "release" for today ...DISH Network (Since Sept/07)

Here is an email that was just sent to retailes.
Dear DISH Network® Retailer,
Great news! The $5.00 HD Enabling was reduced to $0 on April 7, 2009!
In the past, existing customers who had a ViP-series/MPEG-4 receiver and did NOT subscribe to eligible HD Programming were charged a $5.00/mo. HD Enabling Fee. As of April 7, 2009, those customers who were subject to the $5.00/mo. HD Enabling Fee can continue to enjoy HD Programming, such as local network programming and/or premium movie packages, at the reduced HD Enabling Fee of $0/mo. New customers will also benefit from the reduced HD Enabling Fee!Scott

I hope this means that all customers will son be getting MPEG-4 equipment so they can start the long and slow MPEG-2 transition for SD channels.
