The introductory price for DTV Select has gone from $35 a month to $60 a month. The other packages have also gone up $25 per month for the first year. I don't think the price for the second year has gone up though. Still quite an increase
Socialism is the way to go. Everything will be free. It works in Venezuela, it can work here too.Thats capitalism for yea......Love it or hate it, things go up, some faster than others.
They aren’t serious about it so next.If they're serious about getting out of the satellite TV business that's one way to do it, price themselves out.
exactly which is the same exact approach Dish hasThey know what they're doing. What's the point of attracting new customers at a really low rate that are just going to leave after the contract is up? Higher intro rates also mean less sticker shock when the rates go up.
They've obviously taken a quality over quantity approach. At some point, satellite will go away but we're a long, long way from that happening.

Most new customers will now head over to Dish or Orby. Since I get about 30 usable OTA channels and about 9 free news and weather channels via Roku, all I need is the Dish Flex Pack or a similar paradigm (Orby).
Cable!
People don’t want dish these days believe it or not.
It’s all about internet and cable can do both very easily in a bundle
Yeah Directv’s losses seem far worse, but as far as Dish Networks technology people really don’t care.
I have yet to loose a sale to the hopper

I totally agree...this week I've gone out with 2 clients to the local Comcast store, to help them switch over from AT&T (internet/phone)/DirecTV bundles. The tip of the iceberg in both cases, was the fact we STILL have 4 locals off the service. The 2nd reason is they want higher speeds than the 24meg they currently get (& they're some of the HIGHER speeds I see people get around town; most only get around 6-12 meg normally) - & since both neighborhoods are underground utilities, AT&T fiber ain't coming there anytime soon! 3rd reason, they're tired of the rain fade & (particularly) loosing the local channels first in a good rainstorm. Both (still) like their DVR's & really had no interest in dealing with streaming...& the fact that Comcast price locks at least the base price for 2 years - AND is also waiving the $10 (full) DVR fee for the 2-years to boot - further made it a no-brainer for them.
While I was in there today, there was at least 2 other people sitting down with the Comcast reps...& AT&T bills in hand.
