I am wondering the same thing myself... of course, I guess e* figures the fate of the HD Absolute subs is not the concern of their retailers. Hopefully we will hear more soon.

Wow, my DVR Advantage 200 package is going up $8. At least the 250 addon package is still $10.

What was the advantage again?

I had planned on upgrading to a turbo package in February anyway, so my price was going to increase regardless. Now I would have to see what all is added to the packages before I can justify any price increase.

It's like watching a train wreck...if Dish Network's goal is to confuse potential customers and drive loyal subscribers away en masse, then I guess they are doing a pretty good job. Hopefully, Dish Network has time to reconsider their strategy prior to announcing it to the public.

As a brand new DishNetwork subscriber, how does this affect people locked into a contract? If I signed up for the 2 year contract, do I get a price lock for those 2 years? Or come next year, am I, too, also going to see a $5 hike in price?

My thought is that since the TurboHD packages are roughly priced at $1 per HD channel it looks as though we should get roughly 10 new HD channels around February.
5 in the Bronze package
7 in the Silver package
10 in the Gold Package

The answer is that YOU are locked into a contract. Dish can change whatever they want to. It's a one-way street.

Somebody want to explain to me what the additional outlet fee is for a 622/722 receiver? IT shows 12.00 with a savings of 98 cents. So are they saying that if you have another receiver it will cost you now 12.00 to keep it on your account? So instead of 7.00 for an additional receiver fee it will cost you 12.00?
