Charlie Chat ReCap June 11th, 2007

I upgraded yesterday to a 622 and the $149 price was available from the installer company I originally used 5 years ago. I did not have to call and beg a CSO for a special price.

Mota stated their offerings have really gone down hill. I always thought they were like a lite version of HDnet, hopefully they have not gotten worse.

The recap was way better than the program. Good job, dfergie!

Thanks, with the Voom announcement and the main USB thread, this thread is being buried

Well, they're both high-profile announcements.

I was disappointed that they didn't talk at all last night about the June 1st DVR Advantage changes that were discussed at the Team Summit like AT250 with DVR Advantage for $59.99 and no longer an 18 month commitment.

Does anyone know if this became available on June 1st?

Yes it did.

$149 is the current price. It will be going up to $200. The point I was trying to illustrate is that it IS possible to go under the current $149; depending on the CSR and your haggling skills.

anyone else notice in the above slides that AK and HI get PBS in HD? think that's unique to those two states, or something we can start looking forward to in other markets?

and since I see tons of posts from people hoping to get their RSN in HD soon, i'll throw my one sports wish out there - i hope E* strikes a deal with the Tennis Channel to get it for us when it launches its HD channel in December.
