So if anybody out there still is paying $10 for gold and $10 for platinum, call dish and ask them to combine the two into a single $10 charge!

I called them again and they still refuse to reduce the charge and combine the two HD programming. Who did you talk to? Maybe I have been a customer too long since 1998 and I will have to terminate service to get treated right.

HEY, the last time I was so upset was back when I had FIVE 721s sitting here and NONE worked. One crashed because of crap software without limits, too many recordings? endless reboots

the emaing 4 or 5 couldnt download initial software thru my sw64 switch.

I will likely still cancel once the weather improves.

Go online and remove all your HD programming. Then add it back. It should now be $10.

So far, so good. The promised $20 credit showed up today.

Now, let's see if that continues next month.

My bill went up about $5 a month. Is there anyway to see how long you have remaining on your contract and what happens to the dish that is on the back of my house if I chose to cancel??

The HD programming no longer displays when you click the + drop down. (It does for the non-HD programming). Dish closed that door. I cancelled the Platinum pkg, which new subscribers get free along with their $10 HD pkg, but lost the Platinum channels. Dish justs keeps screwing customers like me that have been with them 12 years- -well not the ones that moved faster than me on that deal before the door closed. Correction. To get the HD options to display in my case, clicked on the 200 pkg and HD & Platinum HD option displayed. Clicked back on the 250 pkg (which was what I already had) and the HD option remained displayed. Then changed the programming as described in other posts. I assumed incorrectly that it no longer could be done when it was the DN site that had a glitch that would not allow the transaction.

I don't think anyone cold have the talent to complain like that. He has had many years of practice.

Kind of reminds me of a nagging woman, only more advanced

I have 2 622's AEP + Platinum and locals, my bill went up $13.01 which is 10.8%. old bill was $119.98 new bill is 132.99. My Social Security check check went up O% this year because there is supposed to be negative inflation. Somebody forgot to tell Charlie!

What happens to it is your choice, they aren't going to take it down. You can if you want.
