    Cancellation? Renewal? What to expect....

    I just got off the phone with Dish. They offered me the premier renewal package which came to $114.78 with 120+, hopper, locals, and wally. They threw in a Hopper 3 upgrade with free install and free netflix for two years. I can't complain. My previous total was $112.41 for two years. The...

    Cancellation? Renewal? What to expect....

    Dish customer for 20+ years. I was paying $112. a month for 120+, hopper, locals and a wally. They just went up to $141.99 plus tax. I am trying Hulu LIve which includes Disney and ESPN for $99.99 + tax. Interface is clunky. I was on a two year loyalty contract with Dish. What should I...

    Wow! big increase

    I talked to a billing rep. about my bill. All she did was offer to down grade my package. I didn't threaten to quit. I will try streaming on a trial before I go the retention route.

    Wow! big increase

    All they offered my was a lower priced package. I think I will try a trial run on streaming before I decide for sure. Been a dish customer for many years.

    RV Antenna ?

    Upgrade to Hopper?

    I see the monthly fee is the same for either. What will the receivers cost me to upgrade. Been a subscriber since 2012. How much are Wally's?

    Upgrade to Hopper?

    Just discovered that my Dish Anywhere is no longer supported on my 722K. What Hopper should I upgrade to? I have one TV in the house and plan on no others. I understand that I will need to get a Wally to replace my 512 which is used in the RV. It is having HD issues.

    Upgrade to Hopper?

    Well I guess I'll stick with what I have at the moment. It all works and I don't have to invest money into a Wally and the DVR upgrade. The over the air module in the 722 causes lock ups but I can get by w/o it. I would save money by eliminating my local channel subscription.........

    Upgrade to Hopper?

    If I changed to the Wally would I have to change my RV antenna? I currently use a single LNB aimed at 119. Most of the programming I need is there. If I need to go to 110/129 I manually re aim it.

    Upgrade to Hopper?

    I current have a VIP 722 K receiver with Sling device attached. It has been working fine but occasionally locks up when I have the OTA module plugged in. I removed the module. I also have a 512 receiver in my travel trailer which works well. I inquired from Dish about upgrading to a Hopper...
