Retailer Chat Recap: January 14, 2010

No more multiple DVR fees and no more credit for have the phone line connected (or as everyone incorectly called it, a no phone fee)

Like they always say:
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

and it sure looks like we did!!!!!!
 
Sorry to ask this but I am still confused about new pricing.
I have the AEP + HD + locals, (2) 722 (1) 522 and (1)322
What will my bill be next month?
 
When does the chat of all chats start?

I think it happened while Jim and Amir were dreaming (sleeping), as Scott relates to in his post below.


And commercial talk is done, the commercial guy throws it back to Jim and Amir who appear to be sleeping... after a few moments of silent they realize they are on. Amir says sorry for not paying attention. :)


:rant:
 
Ok went back and took a look at the receiver pricing...

And it was still fuzy, but was abble to get a bigger screen shot making it easier to read.

Maybe someone can post a table or something summarizing the new price structure in one place? Including whether or not the order of receivers in the account matter? And how Dish considers a 211 with EHD, as a solo or as a solo DVR?
 
Looks like a +/- 20% increase for me :mad: This is absolutely ridiculous.

You're lucky my increase is 38 percent.

John

AEP with Locals 100.00
HD Fee $10.00
DVR Fee $6.00
722 My Primary receiver $0.00
625 17.00
522 17.00
625 17.00
625 17.00
$184

Edited see below, I'm very HOT...

Previously my Bill was 132.98

So Dish starts Charging me a Account DVR Fee plus an additional $12.00 for each extra receiver for a total of an extra 51.02 per month, Wow Thanks for Simplifying my Bill Dish. The Thing that really burns me is all my Additional SD Dual Tuner DVR's were purchased by me at retail price and wholly owned by me, so Now I will have to pay $17.00 per month to use them. Secondly if one dies I would have to add the DHPP plan to replace it, really. I can't believe Dish is going to charge me $17 per month and not warranty them for that same $17.00 per month.

I've been a Dish Sub since 1997, always with the highest available package and this is how Dish treats their best customers. If DirecTV does sign a new agreement with Versus before the NHL playoffs, I'm LONG GONE, unless I escalate my concerns and get some consideration to lower these pricing increases. I can then sell off my additional Dish hardware for cash in my pocket.

So they just screw over their highest paying customers and make them pay these extra fees?!

The way I see it the 211 is considered an HD solo and the only way you would pay any thing is if you had more than one.
The chart says HD Solo addl receiver fee $7.00 and in the far right it says no change.
And in the DVR service fee it says n/a.

Isn't your primary receiver (722) without fee? If so it would be $142. Someone correct me if I am interpreting this wrong.

I think the first reciever is still free, your new totals should be $142 which is an increase of $8.
