I would be surprised if Dish drops the price. They are already less that A&T and many cable companies. Plus Dish as well as others have lost some subscribers to streaming.
Even if the normal rate increased immediately when a new channel gets added (it doesn't increase immediately, though) the price lock would protect you from the price increase. That is the point of the price lock. However, in this particular case with channels being removed, the RSN's are not just any ordinary channel, but rather among the most expensive channels in the package. So, hypothetically, lets say that the normal package price decreases by $5 per month due to the lack of RSN's. The price lock seems to be a $20 discount off the price of the package at the time you signed up for it. If the regular package price had decreased immediately at the time of the RSN's removal, that may be okay. However, that decision to decrease the price seems to have been delayed. In the meantime, you have people signing up for a price lock expecting a $20 discount, when the regular price is about to automatically include a $5 discount. So, people who sign up for the price lock before the regular price changes are, in effect, only getting an additional $15 discount, while people who wait for the new lower regular rate to go into effect before signing up for the price lock get the full $20 discount for the exact same programming package.
This is why Dish and all of the cable companies need to find as many ways to lower their prices as possible, in order to compete with streaming.I would be surprised if Dish drops the price.

I have to agree that I would be very surprised if they dropped prices..I could see maybe some different packages with better selection of add-on's to compete with streaming.I would also think there will be another receiver fee hike soon.. Pushing the H3 strong enough to ensure everyone has one that everyone will have no choice but to pay.I would be surprised if Dish drops the price.

By what the CSR said, it looks like there will be a price increase this coming year, she had no idea how much though.
This year the price increase was on 1/15/19.Doesn't the price increase occur in February?
All things considered, is it remotely possible there won't be a price increase this coming year?I have not heard anything yet about a DISH price increase. If and when I do I will pass it along.

If there was no price increase I would expect them to be shouting it from the rooftops.

Not to mention that their employees would like a pay raise...When I called to get the contract with the discount, the CSR said it was likely Dish would have an increase. I ask her if we could expect any new channels? She did not know. Used to be when Dish had an increase we got a lot of new channels. The pickings are small yet the increases continue because the programmers up their prices. Add to that the subscriber base is not what it once was.

How about employees and gear....With no RSNs, HBO, pretty much just locals driving up prices now.
Costs increase, but I'd say those were the top three issues.How about employees and gear....
