Pricing Update from Dish Network

[dahenny]

I'm a one receiver (722) home now, so the new fees won't affect me but 2 pennies, but I have to say, this new pricing scheme is dumb & dumber in the first degree.

I guess Q1 2010 report won't be bad for Chuck, but Q2 will probably show some bad stats.

One thing I haven't seen yet is HD costs. I have AT250, and I am charged $10.00 for Gold HD and $10.00 for Platinum HD. Under the new pricing structure, will I still be paying $20 for all of my HD, or is that going to be $10.00 now?

Just a little confused....

If I were you I would call Dish right now and have them change it to $10 for both. You have been paying an extra $10 for months now.

I have a ViP622 and a 508 with AEP. My hardware costs will go up $11/month from what I can gather. I was not being billed nor credited for an additional tuner fee.

The stupidity of this is that it takes away much of the motivation for getting customer's receivers network connected (or penalizes those who went to the trouble). Especially now that you can do serviceable remote scheduling without a network connection.

I would think (hope) they would offer a different fee structure for owned receivers.

Finally, I wonder if they Playboy $7 deal is available with AT250+movie plexes for those without LIL.

you will be paying 17x 3 additional hd dvrs =$ 51
Only 1 dvr fee per all dvrs = $ 6

Jeez Louise!

I'm beginning to think Crapcast wasn't so bad after all! But I've decided to try and stick it out with the E* Sharks. I think. Got about 8 more hours before I can cancel on a new installation. Help me decide.

All this talk about new pricing has me a litttle bit nervous. When everyhting is finally done I will be getting the promo rates on the programming package and am getting three recvrs, a 211k, 222k and and a 612. Because of the insallation debacle (see my other thread: the Insallation from Hell) they are giving me $10 off my monthly bill for 1 year and 75% off the installation of the 211k.

A. Since I've just signed the contract (last week) for 2 years, can my prcing on the recvrs still go up?

B. If so how much?

I'm currently paying addl $14 per month for the extra recvrs.

Thanks Guyz

Your receiver fees should be,
722k free
722 $17
722 $17
612 $10
DVR $6
HD $10
Plus whatever your programming is.
