I use a UPS for my DVRs to allow me to shutdown the machines in case there is an extended outage. It doesn't happen all that often, and its probably now designed out, but I want to avoid a head to disc crash caused by sudden power shutdown.

I didn't switch to Directv after milking as much of a credit as I could from Dish. My biggest fear though was losing out on the discounts that were offered, especially the $180 cash card at Costco. I just checked, and the offers have been extended until July. D* did bump their rates a couple...

It used to be an option to not have locals, and not pay for them. I guess for new subs or normal upgrades that they are required, but I was forced out of HD Absolute. BTW, not all locals are carried by satellite companies, only those they have carriage agreements with.

Thanks. I hate being charged for something I can get for free.

What if you were forced to go to a different package from HD Absolute? I don't need locals, I get them OTA.

I'm still messing with this change. I can get my locals OTA, so I wanted to avoid the charge for those. (My locals go to my Tivo HD and my computer.) Unfortunately I can't decouple the locals from AT200 for some reason, but have to go down to AT120+ and lose the only reason to get a Satellite...

I called earlier to day to confirm the automatic credit, but because I was charged the same as everyone but didn't get locals, I wanted to get additional credits for that. I went on Chat, let them know that I didn't get the Starz, he added it to the account. To compensate for the 6 months of...

I just verified with the Loyalty team that I'll be getting the $20 off the first 6 months, and $10 for 6 months following, based on the new Feb 1 pricing and without locals, so my pricing will be $34.99 for AT200. I'm not messing with the Starz promotion yet, because it's still likely for me to...

My programing has now been switched to AT200 without my intervention. I still am getting the Cinemax package, but not the Starz. I'm still not sure what the actual credit is, but I'll need to evaluate that against going to DTV with the Costco and Referral breaks. I'm currently not getting...

What is the $9.99 Welcome Pack? Its on my proposed billing, along with the AT200.

No changes to my account yet (I didn't have locals), but I'm also getting FX in SD and HD, as well as Baby First (9400). I guess we'll see the hammer drop at midnight if they do it.

Well, its only $5 if done before 30 days, and you get the prorated savings anyway. My only concern now is that you would not get a discount if you switch lower, but it appears that you'll only get a $5 savings on the new price if you go to AT120 or DA. I'm holding off to see what happens...

I know what I heard when they called me, and he offered me $15 off the current price for AT200 or DA Silver. I also saw that others were only getting $10 off for the AT120 and DA "Bronze". It may be that they are offering $10 off of the new price in February. My viewing habits were perfect...

I think I found my answer, but please verify... it looks like October... http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/230663-hd-absolute-worth-w-$6-access.html

Sundown, I noticed that you were charged $29.99 for Absolute w/Locals. I dropped locals to save $6 on locals I can get OTA, but have been charged at $29.99 since then, and it looks like the locals are now included. To anyone... when was the price dropped for everyone else with the included...

This doesn't mean anything, but I got my bill for next month...no change on my Absolute, and got charged my $.01 for Cinemax.

Also payment record. Based on a conversation with a retention rep, he said that 5 years is where they can be a lot more flexible in their offers.

He was using the current pricing, and I don't think he was a regular CSR.

Got my call today from a retention agent, and was offered $15 off on any package (AT or Dish America) for a year, as well as the credit on the HD Platinum, and HD for Life. Also, since I get my locals OTA, he was going to take $6 off for that too. I'm hooked on the repetitve NFLN, so I'm...

For me, the channel that I switched to DN for was the NFL Network, and when it was included on the HD Absolute, I jumped on it. (TWC, I hate you!) My dilemma is that NFLN is on the AT200 package and above, and yeah for the first year it won't make a huge difference, and I would get a lot more...

I did the switch to the HD standalone package with locals when it was first introduced, and yes, the NFL network is on there. I'm a die hard football fan, and switched from TWC because they didn't have the NFLN. I was considering dropping to the AT100 package from AT200, because the NFLN was...

The .01 Cinemax deal is if you agree to go paperless billing and AutoPay. It's supposedly good for 1 year, but I've seen that it can be had up until 2010. You can not be a current Cinemax subscriber, even with the three free month promo that some people get when they first subscribed.

I added the .01 Cinemax promo, and get the HD Cinemax, as well as the other SD "max" channels, with the standalone HD pack.

When I got the vm, I just logged back on to dishnetwork.com and switched it back. I don't mind paperless billing, but I do mind being switched without being asked.
