Pricing Update from Dish Network

[KAB]

I know a LOT of folks out there that will switch over a $5 per month price different.

To end up paying even more. Let 'em!

Both Dan and john just faded away........... people burn out or tire of subjects

of course dan swore that LIL was a wasted effort, providers would never get most DMAs up in SD and HD was insane

things have changed a LOT. Of course Dan was CERTAIN ISS would provide earthshaking science and advancments in medicine, and all the great stuff.
Were still waiting on that!

Time to fade away, Bob. You are making a mockery of yourself (if you know what that means.). You just can't stand the fact that other than you Three Stooges, nobody cares. WE (individually) decide what is wright or wrong, live with, live without. You DO NOT make one squat of a difference. BE GONE!!!

You post a heck of a lot of unpleasant responses. I've noticed it for well over a year.

You can usually tell what a company prefers by their pricing. In this case, they must want you to only have one dual DVR. Their new pricing discourages more than one. Their new pricing also discourages AEP (or whatever they are calling it this year).

They're raising fees because they can. Charlie realized even at $17 for an HD duo dvr, he's either a bit cheaper or on par with the competition. The problem is, Dish just lost their edge. I never checked into Direct, but compared Comcast in my area. Comcast is actually cheaper, even with multiple dvrs, when you factor in their Triple play service. I have and need multiple hd dvrs. If I didn't have a need for TV2 output, I would have already switched. Since there's no longer an "incentive" to have AEP I dropped it to AT250. I also plan to remove a 510, saving another $10 a month. I know this has been stated before in this thread, but why the hell are they charging $17 a month for an owned 722 Does Comcast charge you a rental fee for an owned cable modem? No! I plan to stay with Dish. Like the service and love their DVRs. Best in town, IMO. But they'll be getting less from me each month, because of these fee increases.

What's the big deal with Bob posting his frustration? I don't see a problem with it.

The big deal is that he has hijacked a ton of threads with his frustration. It gets old. Maybe we should have the Bob Haller Frustration thread and all that are interested can go there.

Beacuse in the last while he has post hundreds of complaints about the price changes, and no I am not exaggerating when I say hundreds. Enough is enough with all of it. We all know he is upset and we cannot do anything about it, but he keeps on posting his "frustration".

Bob please move to another provider like you said you would asap.

Here is what I have found out about our bill going forward. Keep in mind we have a 622 and 522 and the 250 package. Our current bill is 86.61. Our new bill will be 90.99 in 7 months. For six months we are getting a $7.00 credit on our account. So for six months our bill will be 83.99. So with a 4.38 increase of 12 months for 62.56 and a 42.00 dollar discount for 6 months that makes our 12 month increase to be 20.56.

Hes a retailer thats how. When customers cancel it costs the retailers money as they are sometimes charged back if a customer hasnt been a customer for a certain amount of time.
