I thought maybe he was shouting "My HBO still works"
No, I don't save any money owning my equipment, but I do not lease, unless I have to. I own everything I use. I like my old trusty vip211k. It works fine with the outboard HDD and the OTA antenna. Perfect for an older single guy.I also like doing my own work. If I want to change out a dish, receiver, I do not have to wait for an install guy, and wonder if he aligned the dish well. I am picky, that way I rarely lose the signal because of rain fade. If Dish ups the rates come Feb, I am sure without Univision and HBO, many will be jumping ship. Streaming is the future for many. I am into that myself and if rates go up, I will probably cut down to a smaller package. As time goes on, I watch very little of the regular channels anyway, other than MSNBC, CNN, etc. The rest of my time I watch a commercial free movies. The ad load is so terrible now, I ask "Why am I paying for channels I never watch?" I used to watch a lot more of the regular, but too many ads. I have to figure out how to drop down from AT250 and still keep Encore as well as TMC. That is my issue. AT200 doesn't have those included. Add to that I have Amazon Prime, HBO stream, etc, so I do not need Dish as much as I used to. It may be pennies a subscriber, but too many pennies, and Dish will be in trouble. With the loss of too main services, this is not good.
I should stand on a stool outside my AT&T store and shout "Thanks for saving me $15/month on HBO by pulling it from Dish!"
"Less than 15 minutes saved me $15 on HBO"
Came here to see if there are any updates on the DISH / HBO fight and all I read on three pages is a bitching thread around Claude's experience. That that elsewhere and leave this to the topic at hand.
I agree. If this thread only added new updates it would stop here dead.

It is a great thing it is a conversational thread amongst customers and not a sticky update only thread... sort of how forums work.
Provide specific examples of the rate increases with before and after prices please.
There was a $1-5 price increase on internet, $0.50 cents per cable box, $1 on the broadcast TV fee and $1 on the Spanish package. Anything beyond that were promos expiring or rate increases for those who are on Legacy Time Warner Cable pricing. So I'd be real interested in your explanation of the $20 or $100 increases, which are just not possible unless you fall into one of the two categories I mentioned.
Here are the charter increases.
BTW, my HBO still works fine on DIRECTV and Comcast.
Definitely not deals expiring in this case. I don't have specifics on the neighbor's bill, but my parents' bill went up $10 each for Internet and Phone, so $65 -> $75 for Internet and $25 -> $35 for phone (numbers rounded). The neighbor has been a TWC/Spectrum customer for over a decade, and is a TV customer in addition to phone and internet, so I expect that is where the majority of her increase is coming from. She may also be on a legacy TWC plan. Apparently the whole town is in an uproar over it, but there isn't much they can do besides switch to 6Mb ADSL2 from Frontier. edit: Frontier has had multiple weeks-long outages in the past few years, so there really is no other choice.
The cherry on top is the Internet speeds are still 30/5 where they live, despite all the advertising they see about hundreds of megabits. It doesn't really matter to them as they won't use the extra throughput, but it is kind of annoying to me.

It does? I dun tot tat HBO wus mo moah. WE KNOW IT'S ON DIRECTV! Move on.
As long as Spectrum leaves the grandfathered $14.99/mo 30/5 Internet plan at our upstate NY cottage alone, I'll be happy.
I keep telling my parents to complain to the NY Utilities Commission about what they pay. Their part of the state seems to pay more for less than everywhere else.
It's not even a grandfathered plan; my parents were offered that plan as new customers last month
Cool! We originally got the plan with TWC, so it's good to see that Charter is still offering it.
They aren't everywhere. Charter Sunsets Everyday Low Price $14.99 Internet for New Customers in New York ·
Or is that the same thing?
