What would be my pricing for top 250 dvr advantage + gold hd pack + one 722 dvr additional receiver fee? I would love it if someone could explain that one to me. I am totally lost.

$7.00 for the receiver and $5.98 for the DVR service for that receiver is the current pricing. It will be a combined $12.00 now, thus the $0.98 savings.
Dish DVR Advantage: $57.99
Additional 722: $12.00
2 Premiums (HD Gold and 250 Bonus Pack): $22.00
Total of $91.99 Plus Tax.
This is exactly what I have. I will be dropping down to the DDA Turbo Gold Package when it is available to existing customers and save $20 a month.
What will the price be for premium channels (HBO, Starz, etc) if you have a DVR Advantage package and just one package? Currently is at $10.00 per premium but I see that HBO is going up.
If you have two packages is going up $2.00 but what if you only have one of them.

I have budgeted myself $60 for satellite.
I had:
$40 Bronze DVRAdvantage
$10 Bronze HD
$10 Platinum HD
I just switched to:
$50 Silver DVRAdvantage
$10 Silver HD
I essentially dropped the Platinum HD
Come Feb 09 when these packages kick in:
$60 Gold DVRAdvantage TurboHD

I find this "classic" designation interesting for the TopXXX packages. "Classic" is often seen as added value. In addition, "classic" paves the way for a new package group in the near future.
I wouldn't worry too much about the funky names. These things tend to have a pretty short life, and I bet they are changed again by summer.

I'm an existing customer living in Nazareth, PA and subscribe to the Arabic language package which I'm currently receiving from 61.5.
Does this statement indicate that I will eventually be receiving them from 118.7?
Thanks.
What price increase ? There's no price increase (yet). The plan is to have add'l channels added by the time the increase takes effect.
Remember, this was a retailer chat, not a customer one. When they say "increase their margin", they mean Dish's and their partners.
I was told we're "locked" into this package for as long as we keep it. And locked is the key word: No price increases
but also no additional channels .
Was just thinking the same thing... Could definately be viacom
5 bronze - CMT, VH1, MTV, Nick, Spike
2 Silver - Comedy Central, BET...
and for the heck of it
3 gold channels - NBCu's Slueth and Chiller + ABC's ESPNU
I really need to lay off the optimist pills...
Actually, I believe the timeframe works out so that the price increases will take place before the addition of God/Charlie knows what:
"They mention that the new receiver names will go into effect on February 1st when the price changes happen."
"They mention that they hope the new satellite is put into use in the mid February time frame."
Basically, we show them the money, then they give us a prize! Maybe... Maybe they will add the Golf/Versus channel in addition to the individual Golf and Versus channels..."They mention that they hope the new satellite is put into use in the mid February time frame."
Good point.
As Joe the TV Viewer, this is pricing and renaming is about as clear as mud. What is clear is that I'll be getting hosed a huge chunk of money in a time where it is not available. They just lost another customer or at the very least a large chunk of money. Time to do some more shopping around.
Wow. That sucked. Especially for HD customers.
I hope "services" mean channels. Not HD PPV or VOD.
If they don't deliver, it will be hard to stick it out.
For that kind of money, they need to launch Viacom, Fox, and some independents. Not to mention MoreMax HD, MSNBC HD, Chiller HD, etc. (i.e. new HD channels from those they already have agreements with.)
Why do I feel like us HD absolutes are about to be screwed, as we might see a ton of new channels placed just out of our reach in Feb?

Dish CSR:
HD Absolute? Why Sir it was renamed to Turbo Gold with the Platinum add on it is only $59.99 now! What a steal for 150 HD channels!
I think HD Absoultes will get a choice:
Price the same, lose NFL, Toon Disney, Bravo, Animal Planet, Golf, Lifetime Movies, Biography, National Geographic, Science, Versus, Hallmark, HD Net Movies, MGM, NBA, NHL, Tennis, Universal and WFN, but gain lower tiered new channels
Up $10 and lose Biography, National Geographic, Science, Versus, Hallmark, HD Net Movies, MGM, NBA, NHL, Tennis, Universal and WFN, but gain your RSNs and middle tiered new channels
Up $20 and lose Biography, National Geographic, Science, Versus, Hallmark, and Tennis, but gain your RSNs and middle tiered new channels
Up $30 (i.e. double) to lose nothing, but get new channels and RSNs.
Or they could let us ride it a while longer with no RSNs and, more importantly, no new channels.
I guess I'll have to go with the third option.

If they let us HD Absolutes stay grandfathered, I will wait and see what channels they will offer before considering giving DISH any more money. Nothing pressing I need and I'm not missing my RSN.
You typed it.....
That's their "plan" and their justification.
