    When I say used to be, I mean prior to the price change. After Feb. 1, one of my $5 receivers will go to $10 (a 510 DVR) and another receiver will go to $7.00 (a 501 PVR).

    I won't get a new bill generated for a couple days yet.

    I was expecting them to increase the price of that since a lot of people probably just record the content on their DVR then drop it in a month or two. If someone wants this service for just one month then they are going to pay up as much as $45-50. OUCH! That is still cheaper than keeping the service for month after month or getting them as PPV's. They must have a LOT of people signing up and then dropping the service if they are charging such fees.

    Isn't there another service that offers nothing but adult channels or has it been canned?

    Subtract $2.00 from the total and you will end up with the correct total. But from now on there is no more 5.00 for additional receiver. All receivers ,both sd and hd will start at one 7.00 price. But if you want I will post the sd receivers below:

    Additional solo receiver $5.00 + Tv 2 connection fee n/a + dvr fee n/a= $7.00 (+2.00)
    Additional solo dvr $5.00 + Tv 2 connection fee n/a + dvr fee $5.98= $10.00 ( -$0.98)
    Additional duo receiver $5.00 + Tv 2 connection fee $5.00 + dvr fee n/a = $14.00 ( +$4.00)
    Additional duo dvr $5.00 + Tv 2 connection fee $5.00 + dvr fee $5.98 = $17.00 (+$1.02)

    I'm still having trouble logging on to Dish. I got in under IE7 and changed my ID to my email and changed my password, but when I try using Firefox, I can't log on. How long do you think it will take Dish to fix the site?

    Thanks for the breakdown, but I am only paying $5 apiece for a 501D and 625 now, nothing on the 722, so it looks like there will be an increase for me. From $10 total for three DVRs to . . . my 722 will be the first and not counted and the second and third are a 625 and a 501D not on your list. So I still have no idea what I will be paying in "fees". The calculator does not give me an accurate "old" figure, +$15, and if I run it with what I can make close to my plan, I'll only be +$5.01. That is after you - the $15 difference. If not, I'll be +$20.01 per month. that means dropping HBO & Showtime. Of which I told HBO I was dropping them to make up for the increased fees. They were not happy. But still I am completely, well mostly confused. I was lucky enough to have my last bill cut on the 27 of January. So I got a month reprieve. But after looking at our premium channel viewing habits, we will not miss the premiums. Plus we have Netflix, CinemaNow, Vudu and hopefully more with the next LG firmware update.

    What version? I get the left half of the Flash on the main page split down the middle and shoved all the way to the right. They don't have their alignment tags set properly. The top and bottom HTML are intact for the most part, but still out of whack. Once past the main page it's OK for the most part. The interior pages are not being renovated/changed as they did the main page, but updated. If I can get around the main page I'm fine using Firefox 3.5.7 and 3.6. Not Safari and they stopped supporting IE for the Mac years ago. So it won't support all the new features that they are installing. No issues with the Tech Portal.

    Yaz96 & SandFarmer,
    I was using FF 3.5.7 and just updated last night to 3.6. It keeps telling me my info is invalid, but when I click on the link for "forgot password", it takes me to a page that states "it's down due to technical difficulties". Another problem I have is I use a program called RoboForms to manage my passwords, and after trying to use it on the new Dish site, it retains the Dish url somehow and when I try to log in on another site, RoboForms prompts me that the url of the site I'm trying to log into doesn't match, and it displays the url from the Dish site. I've been using RoboForms for years and never had this problem. I have to shutdown FF and reopen it to correct this problem...weird!

    A 501 will be charged $7.00, at least that is what I was told as it doesn't fit any any bucket they have published.
    A 625 is a SD Duo DVR which will get charged $17.00

    So you are seeing a $14 increase in fees on those two receivers. If you were not getting AEP, then you were also seeing a $5 DVR fee on the 625

    Thanks for the clarification. But when I went to your link, the chart that Scott posted shows pre-2/1/10 fees is still not what I have been paying.

    SoloDVR $5+$5.98 have been paying $5 will be $10
    DuoDVR $5+$5+$5.98= $15.98 have been paying $5 will be $17
    It looks like I'll be paying $17 more a month. That is if the complete new fee structure is applied. If so, bye-bye HBO & Showtime. I'll put the extra cash into Netflix, CinemaNow & Vudu.
