Pricing Update from Dish Network

[mhowie]

Well the ORIGINAL leak had a 6 buck a month credit for 6 months max. Tonight GOOD source said again 6 month credit but no amount

In a phone conversation with a CSR last night I was advised of a $5 credit for 6 months for "someone in my position" (i.e., two 722 receivers). Since I am swapping one of my 722s for a 612... I will not qualify for this credit.

What if you get the credit then swap?

Yep no contract When you are getting divorced the fewer strngs the better.

Heck I might meet a movie model who will fall head over heels in love with me

But I couldnt move in with her cause I got a contract

Just look where my current contract err marriage got me

now do you understand why I dont like contracts?

Somehow you ended up getting out of the " 'til death do you part" contract. But I'm sure that you're paying a huge early termination fee.

Geez, 5% is really hard to believe.

Of my 3 receivers, only one is connected to a phone line. It's the only one that is required. My guess is that when they are playing the 5% game it is due to their counting all valid receivers, not just valid receivers required to have a phone line connected or they get a charge.

Yep

Jen a overspender her dads words, he said you will never have a dime

Well I sold my moms inherited house, and used the proceeds to pay off our house. Owed roughly 89 grand 29 years left on mortage saving 900 buck a month mortage payment

Saved about $288,000 in principal and interest over life of loan. actually paid all but a little balance then zeroed it

Jen hates me cause I didnt respect her wishes She wanted to use the money to buy stuff, new vehicles vacation furniture remodeling.

ME I just wanted fiancial stability.

Well jen sued for divorce she wants 50% of house value some 50 grand. money I DONT HAVE, and cant borrow our credit was ruined, after CC disaster.... I am entitled to half her retirement but still would need 40 grand more or less.....

Now you know why I dont want any contracts

2 seperate lawyers tell me I am screwed

Well heres a new insider leak.

Es purpose was to simplify prices to minimize people complaing.

Phone line compliance is about 5% so nearly all already pay the 5 buck fee.

E gets too many calls about charges, so this way there will only be.

Programing cost

DVR fee

receiver fee

Very few have multiple DVRs. We are select subscribers.

E knows this will cost them subs but will try to give credits to make it less costly.

Elminating the DVR advantage plan is a mistake.

I don't know whether to believe the 5% thing either. This is 1 in 20 and I think compliance was more than that. I wonder what the compliance level would be now? lol. I figured there were one of two reasons why they would do away with $5 discount on people's bills. One, they wanted to make more money or two there were not enough people connecting them up to make it worthwhile to offer a discount. I still think that at least half the people complied if not about 80% because a lot of people are not going to want to pay $5 for each additional TV2 output on their account. If most were paying this fee already then they must think they will not lost many subscribers.
