Will the Everything package be increased? I went to the 250 package when I was getting 50% discounts on Starz, Showtime, Cinemax , Dish Movies and the HBO special deal.
Just chatted with a dish rep, at first I was told the price was permanent, then was transferred and the September 20th cut off date was confirmed. My current plan is to let it increase on the 20th, call them to cancel, and see if retention's is willing to offer anything. Not that $5 is a deal breaker, $15 hbo is still better than $12 Netflix or prime, it is just the sneaky way they went about it, and I definitely remember agreeing to a $10 for life offer. Also the lack of boxing this summer is concerning, seems like AT&T may already be causing problems.
I was told when I got HBO for $10.00 that I would keep it at $10.00 as long as I stayed with DISH. I got it on two of my accounts. I asked and was confirmed that I would keep it as long as I never cancelled DISH. If this is true I will go back to getting large discounts from the loyalty department on my accounts and skip the two year price deals. I came out cheaper doing that anyway.
The tried getting me to sub to HBO back in July. Glad I didn't do it. To be fair, I have my means of seeing HBO's content, abate it not being from my home TV.
Everybody knew this was coming when AT&T announced they wanted to take over Time Warner. And they got to do it anyway.
Just checked and it's true on both of my accounts. It says it's ending on 9/20. So much for DISH's word for it staying the same as long as I stay with DISH. Got to get ready to call to cancel at the end of the year when my price freeze is over , so I can get large credits on my bills next year. Used to get quite the large credits before this last two years and DISH has lost even more subs since then , so I guess next year I will be saving even more than now.
Yup, it showed up this morning

This may come back to bit AT&T in the butt.
The regular price for HBO is wAAAY to high - I would never pay it, I have paid the $10 in the past.
I think they may actually see a revenue hit from this hissy fit.
I really hope so.

I love HBO series tv but I'm not going to pay $15.00 for a premium service with just a few shows I watch. Premiums should all be $10.00 or less, because they are not the only service offering movies you can see just about every where. So HBO will definitely take a hit in my house.
They play the same recycled movies over and over. Only thing I watch on HBO is Westworld.
I watch Bill Mayher Real Time every Friday and Last Week with John Oliver on Sundays , Curb your Enthusiasm , Divorce, VEEP series. I don't really watch it for Movies unless I just come across one I didn't see at the Theater . This is one of the reasons I don't watch Series on other premiums because it would require you to keep their service. Once I drop HBO , I won't watch their series either. I will NOT pay $15.00 for HBO period!
Does anyone else remember how many people on here complained about the price of HBO when it was still $19 per month, and they were begging Dish to lower the price to $15, since that was the price of HBO's stand-alone streaming service at the time? Now, $15 is the too-high price that people here are complaining about. Oh my, how things have changed! 
I don't complain about the price, I just don't buy it.
I watch the talk shows too, not the movies on HBO. If HBO for $10 ends 9/20, I will also drop it. I already have AT250 & the Movie Pack.
