Well, I guess if we want more HD, we have to expect it.

How many more times are they gonna change the name of the packages? I was expecting the price increase in those TurboHD packages, if you want more HD channels then you'll have to pay.

Innovation by obfuscation. Confuse the bejeebus out of the customers so they can't figure out what's really going on. Another in a continuing string of dissapointments.

At least throw us a bone and tell us *something* concrete is coming and not just a screen with seemingly random channel logos, saying "maybe these can be yours..."

The price increase goes into effect on Feb. 1st so I think that's fair. http://www.satelliteguys.us/1630876-post3.html |

As we all know, our definition of "more HD" may be, and in some cases has been slightly different than that of Charlie's.

I think everyone was expecting price increases. No big deal there, though it is more than would be expected. But to rename the actual receivers (you know the ones that already say what they are on the device) is just idiotic.
They're really just putting lipstick on a pig.

That is what I mean by concrete... Pushing up prices before delivering anything is a bad idea... Then having the audacity to tell us that it is to increase their margin? What about my margin? I am lucky enough to be able to afford it, but it still sucks...
