Scott could we get a sticky outlining the price increases?
Im totally shocked on how much this has gone up. If they let me stay absolute I might just stick with it. This time they dont have the luxury of forcing an upgrade to MPEG-4 for grandfathered plans. Im thanking myself for not doing anything that requires an commitment with Dish in recent history.
I thought cable was bad here hiking rates 10-12 percent. My internet + phone just went up 10 a month. Im out of money to give to these companies.
Our family has cut back on cell phone and sat this year. This is total BS during a time where money has become very hard to come by.

Well, that definitely sucks. Renaming the receivers is dumb. I know what a 622, 722, 211, etc. are...now I have to remember HD Solo vs HD Duo...oh and don't forget the Enhanced one. Did anyone get the woodshed treatment over that one yet?
Price increase: Well, I can only absorb so much and recently (last month) dropped the Superstations package to save some (turned out to be "nominal") money. This price increase is a nail in my backside. I'll probably drop the Showtime/TMC package next to save some money or evaluate/consider a metallic value change...

I'm tired of reading everyone's comments about programs like this... I want to watch it personally and keep my comments to myself.
So, could someone record it and release it here?

Oops hit enter  .... but we have cut a lot this year to try to keep same standard of living. We are using coupons all the time and stocking up on frozen food when theres big sales at the store.
We lost one income a couple months ago due to this economy and this increase of MORE than the cable companies adds insult to injury.
Thanks for letting me vent....Rant OFF |

Scott only releases the info that pertains to consumers, there is a lot of retailer sensitive information talked about as well, so it would be impossible to release a recording of it without violating Dish Network TOS. (Not to mention copywrite laws)
