This is a rhetorical question, right?

E* the HD laggard.

Harvy, Besides the "Bingo" channel which will be a part time channel(104). Please name any additions.

If you are reffering to the name change,
America's top 50 already has more than 65 channels
America's top 100 already has more than 125 channels.
Americal's top 150 already has over 180 channels.

See ya

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have seen no official announcement of a rate increase.

I did however see news of Dish Network's packages changing names.

Can someone point me to something OFFICIAL from Dish saying rates are going up?

Wait til monday.

See ya

Man you think they would have announced it at CES and could at least have given us something interesting from CES to talk about.

I haven't got a notice yet, but I remember the last couple of years, DISH will send out a notice at the end of January, date it January 01, and tell you rates are going up February 01.

It irritates me, to have them send it out weeks after it is dated, making it seem like they are giving you a 30 day notice, or something...

It would be funny if Charlie said. "Well for some unknown reason the 'don't feed the pig' campaign cost more than we thought it would so we had to raise rates.."

"Lets do a feed the pig campaign about cable raising the rates" .....then lets raise them ourselves. At least we are showing them we raised ours less than cable.
