Pricing Update from Dish Network

[yaz96]

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!

My intrerest have changed a LOT over the years

Of course it could have been that you finally just drove Dan crazy! He threw up his hands and said "I quit!"

Man we all just love him not. He has hijacked hundreds of threads but he is still fun to sometimes zing. I really hope he likes FIOS.

I'm not seeing any change to my Feb/March bill. I have a 722 and 508 and Top 100 with locals and bronze HD. The bill is exactly the same. I thought the 508 would get me a $7 charge instead of the old $5?

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

Exactly. Who is forcing anybody to read the threads? Ignore Bob or me if you care to. The FAR majority of this problem with the new fee's will be DISH's as people downgrade and cancel. They will lose some very high end people. I am still deciding on the FiOS Fiasco (promising too much and bad math like showing a $53 bundle discount which is THE Triple Play discount period and not figuring in my Home Phone before said bundle discount. Verizon, $65+58-53 is not equal to $120. a first bill quote (like 350% more quote:$56 bill:$198), plus 1st bill is for about 43 days) versus feeding the DISH ***. DISH DVR's don't lose their place when paused correctly, and have more storage and USB Ext. storage.

Besides, it would have been SOOO boring around here without Bob.

Let's see if DISH comes through with new HD on Wednesday the 10th, just in the nick of time for me. Some big-city RSN's 24 hours a day would be nice, especially the CSN's.

Your change will happen on the next bill issued in Feb.

Do you think it wil only increase $2 or something else?

How is it possible to hijack a thread? hijacking would be to take something by force. Since this is an open forum and anybody can say anything they want "other than hack talk", then as a member you're entitled to post your comments in any thread on any subject. I would suggest that those who attack people for posting their thoughts are closer to being a hijacker, after all you are trying to force someone off a thread. If your only comment is to attack another member, than your really not adding anything to the conversation. Unless you have a vested interest in dish why would anybody care about our displeasure with a 30%+ price hike. I have noticed a lot more negative comments lately and there are still 10 million plus subs that don't know about this fee increase yet, they will by march. Satelliteguy's may reach 200,000 members before too long.

Ignoring thread subject when a loophole is found to change subject to another issue is considered hijacking.

DBSForums and DBSTalk are two completely different sites, no connection.

Dan Collins got busy and DBSForums just kinda faded away....it was great and the best at one time.

DBSForums was the result of DBSDish getting bought out, I got it all mixed up, its been so long.
