This should come as no real surprise -- last year TurboHD customers got big price increases with barely any new HD (despite promises from the top of lots of new HD channels).Maybe because they consider it such a minimal price increase, it doesn't warrant adding any new HD.
So true. E* is counting on people not figuring out they simply loaded fees, including some that weren't being paid at all before like the connection fee, into a giant lump sum. They hope people will be stupid enough to just compare to Comcast and others and not to their old bills.
Hell. I would not want anyone to read this either. Showing this and saying they are doing us a favor by making things simple a taking away some charges on your bill. What a joke!!
<Tentatively raises hand> I'm one! I have AT250 w/primary owned 722 and 2 leased VIP612's. I believe I will be paying $3.50 less as calculated in the "Updated fee" thread P1.
Dish. Be straight with us. Don't tell us it's so great when it is not. I love being talk down to by a big company.
Chill, man. I didn't say we would be paying less, I said Dish considers it a minimal increase. Also, with the winking smilie it was intended to be a sarcastic response to those who said we would be getting new HD channels in an attempt to offset the increase....
I guess it's time to crack open my receiver and send back all the moths for credit before the end of the month. Maybe that'll even fix the HDMI jack.
The bottom line for me is:
How much am I paying for programming today?
How much will I pay for the same programming Feb 1?
How much would the same programming cost me with a different provider, given they will have increases as well?
Can I make a significant change in my monthly programming costs by changing providers?
Fairly simple.....

The DHPP is beinig renamed the "Servie Plan" and like I reported before to cancel the "Service plan" is going to cost you $25.
$15 Technician Fee is $15 with the service plan and $95 without the service plan.

Yea they need to make all receiver fees identical across the board. If there is simply one DVR fee per account, then dish has no excuse but to make all the fees the same. Bad move on dish. Im still in my 30 day period, im beginning to wonder if I should consider directv again over these fees. There has no clear cut examples of what customers are going to see. AEP customers are going to see the biggest increase.
dont laugh when I ask this... but unlike cell phone companies, dish network can change prices all they want without people using it as a chance to get out of ETF correct?
That is correct as you agreed to the price increases when you signed up. So you cant use a price change to get out of your contract.
Or is there a better mix of receivers/DVRs/programming that will still work for you, but at a lower price?
ooh just checked my account... they made my 722k my secondary and the 211 as the main.... guess I need to change that
