I agree with the smaller packages. IF DISH would do a reorganization of all programming packs and break them down into more theme related packs -kind of like they did with SLINGTV , they might see their sat service stay around a bit longer. The ability to save money is the number one reason why most people have DISH and it something that DISH advertises all the time. Let us break up the packs in to smaller more manageable packs, that you can add or take away from to save money and I would be much happier.
The fact that they no longer really advertise AEP is proof to me that they need to make this change. You no longer save when you add the premium channels to your regular programming like you did back in 2000 or 2001 and they no longer comp the extra dvr fees or additional receiver fees when you do it either. These were major reasons why I kept AEP as long as I did. IF DISH continues to just hike the price every year with no more changes on the size of the programming packs, it will continue down the path of less subs each year.
