    POLL: Which discounts/promos did you get on your Spring/Summer 2010 DirecTV order??

    Yeah I asked about it, I was told the AAA $10 off 20 month is considered a referral in their system by the rep who took my order over the phone. She claimed she had to put my AAA number into the referral box. AAA gal said basically the way the referral works is you $10 off your bill per month...

    Time to leave Dish again

    https://www3.tivo.com/store/upgrade.do Well I got that price for the service on my Tivo from their, Also got the price of $300 per HD tivo using that program as I used to have Tivo S2 before switching to Dish. So maybe I am getting "Special Pricing" and I thought those were the standard...

    Time to leave Dish again

    According to Tivo web page, it is $8 for the first Tivo and $4.50 for the 2nd tivo if you pre-pay service 1 year at a time. Sorry I should have been more clear in my first post which makes the total Tivo charge per month $12.50. I guess Comcast in your area rapes people worse than in other...

    Time to leave Dish again

    Dish new receiver prices are more than cable. Both Comcast and TWC charge between $7-18 per DVR depending on your area that fee can include the DVR fee as well. In Los Angeles for example TWC charges $10 DVR fee per account and DVR them selfs are $8.95 per month. They offer a TV/Internet bundle...

    Will you cancel Dish because of the new receiver pricing?

    Did they make you agree to a 2 year contract? My bill is $70.98 a month right now, all I asked for was for them to swap out my 222 for a 211 and they refused to swap it unless I paid a $100 upgrade fee and agreed to a new 2 year contract which I passed on. If dish would have be willing to swap...

    Retailer Chat Recap: January 14, 2010

    Maybe I am stupid or something or I am missing your point so please explain how Dish is subsidizing anymore TV. It costs Dish less than $150 to make a 222 or 211. With the $7 per month it was collecting currently with a year contract it recoups all 100% of the cost to make the receivers. I don't...

    I disagree with you again. Like you I have 2 dual output boxes each connected to 1TV only and I referred over the last 18 months 14 people to dish everyone also has 2 dual output boxes for one of 2 reason, either the installer did not have any 1 turner boxes with them at the time of install, or...

    Retailer Chat Recap: January 14, 2010

    When I signed up back in 08 Dish gave you a " 1 Free HD DVR Upgrade or 1 Free HD Receiver" and up to 2 free SD receivers. You could pay a 1x upgrade fee of $50 to get 211 or $100 to get 222. I choose to pay $100 to get a 222 for PIP. Yeah like 2-3 months after I signed up Dish changed the promo...

    Will you cancel Dish because of the new receiver pricing?

    You have a choice, You are just willing to pay Dish a premium to use what you believe is their superior equipment over what Direct TV charges even tho Direct TV equipment is cheaper and programing for the most part is identical. Either way you can still record and watch the same shows with...

    Retailer Chat Recap: January 14, 2010

    I disagree with you many customers I bet with HD TV in the past had dual tuner receiver in single mode for PIP like myself or were willing to put up with 2nd HD having access to SD programing only because it was free. Under the current pricing you have be a total moron to use a dual tuner...

    Retailer Chat Recap: January 14, 2010

    And in area's they have done that they left basic cable channels free and clear in QAM spec which most tv made in the last 2-3 years can watch just fine. So you still don't need a box unless you got an older analog TV or HD TV that does not support QAM. And QAM boxes are under $50 to buy online...

    Retailer Chat Recap: January 14, 2010

    I tried that, they insisted on me signing a new 2 year contract and charging me a $100 upgrade fee for going from a 222 to 211. I bet you money they will do the same thing to you. That is why I called the CA AG office, I am getting a credit equal to the increase equipment charges between old...

    UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

    Like I have been saying even tho some people can not grasp the difference between "Saving money" and "Preferring Dish DVR interface" as 2 separate issues. The programing between Dish and all providers out their except small rural cable companies who have limited HD program and Direct Tv who has...

    Does that mean you are longer going to go with Fios either? Fios requires you to sign a 2 year contract to get installed otherwise Fios will not run a Fiber line to you house. After your 2 year contract you are free to pay ala cart pricing if you choose to do so but only way to get a bundling...

    UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

    You don't have to answer me back funny thing is I went to TWC web page and use 1515 Boston Ave Nederland, TX 77627 as an address and that is where I found the prices for TWC in your area. If the cable is the same at your address as the address I used then TWC in your area has 93 HD counting all...

    UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

    I think you are overlooking something. First off, when you signed up or anyone else for that matter, Dish was pushing 222 over 211 because it allowed you to feed 2nd SD TV for free or have pip. Many people including my self paid the so called 1 time "upgrade fee" because their was no difference...

    UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

    I know it will depend on everyone situation and what their needs are and bundled prices vary by area and so do extra box prices and they might run promo's at different times even which make the bundles more attractive too. While cable or Fios or U-Verse might not work for you, to say most...

    UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

    That is where I disagree with you, for people who only want to look at TV prices and refuse to bundle you might be correct that the new prices Dish will be charging will be inline with what TV providers are offering. But if you are willing to bundle you can save a nice chunk of change now from...

    Dish switching from 4 leased tuners to 6!!!!!

    Well put think about it this for a second, They want an upfront lease fee of $150-200 for each box after the 1st box if it is a DVR and $100 for 222. They just jacked up the price on 722k to $17 per month. No way this box costs dish more than $300 to make and more than likely much less than...

    If these changes come true, I personally plan to cancel in Aug when I no longer have an ETF and the credit issued to my account expire. Trust me I normally had 2-5 dish club credit on my account per month as I referred 14 people to dish from the time I signed up till Dec which was my last...

    Btw I found the current Dish Contract on Dish web page http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/legal/DHA_Agreement.pdf Notice this part: So even in the new Dish contract refers to equipment as "Leased Equipment" and I think people really need to grasp the concept that if you lease...

    UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

    That still has nothing to do with the fact many people on this board are discouraging people from complaining to their AG offices and defending Dish actions even if they are wrong and possible in breach of contract or local laws. Yet these same people are the ones who are complaining about...

    UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

    Funny you say that considering I called the CA AG and while I am sure the AG did nothing more than inquire to Dish about "Lease Fee" being raised for customers under contract that was more than enough to get someone attention at Dish Network and prompted someone at Dish to call and offer me a...
