Pricing Update from Dish Network

[Stargazer]

$6 per month to make up for fee increases WAY more than this, NOPE, NOT gonna cut it. Maybe $6 per receiver that you increased the fees on.

I currently have a leased 622 & a leased 522.

I've been thinking of purchasing a 722 from the Dish Store with my tax refund to replace the 522.

Are receivers that are owned outright and not leased still subject to all the fees?

[dahenny]

We've been told (but not from Dish) that our owned receivers are still subject to the fees.

[Stargazer]

Leased or owned have always been subjected to the same fees. Leasing gets you out of no fees with Dish Network.

You know the only people who are getting hit the hardest are the subs with AEP - they will now pay 6.00 dvr fee. Also subs with an extra dvr receivers on their account like the 522/625/622/722/722k receivers. THey will all pay the 5.00 no phone line connection fee, that used to be free if you plugged the phone line into your receiver. So if you have AEP and additional dvr receivers like I mentioned above , you get dry F*cked hard with no kiss at the end.


But the problem with all of these fees are they are made up JUST BECAUSE WE CAN Fees. This is going to make DISH the king of BIG ASS EQUIPMENT FEES. I don't see how DISH will be competitive any more with Directv on additional receivers. Once they start showing the cost of additional receivers compared to Directv they will look like greedy bastards . Which they are ,if they do these price hikes on equipment. Once again DISH took a positive -their great duo tuner dvrs receivers and made it into a NEGATIVE. You can only have ONE on your account or you will pay out the ASS. So this year will resemble the first 3 quarters of last year. Subs leaving in droves .

CHURN IS THE WORD Charlie!

For certain, I won't be accepting the $13/month increase in monthly expenses. I'll drop to AT250 from AEP, dump the 510, and 501, add a 722k and add Netflix with streaming for the PS3 and/or Xbox 360 and still save about $6/month.

But before i'll do that I'll shop around and see what DirecTV might do. I get the feeling they'll still be more expensive since they don't have anything like the 622 or 722k. But the attitude of dish, pretending like they are only raising prices $1.00, or saving us $.98, by including a stupid fee that nobody paid anyway, drives me nuts. They are trying to piss on us and tell us it's raining. Well, I don't play that way.

Well said, I just re-activated my Netflix Account, I've been paying $150(plus taxes) monthly plus taxes for too long....and my bill is going to be almost $170...No way Charlie no way....

Then again, the monthly rates have never gone up by up to $4.02 per box before.
