Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

It was not $8, read his post, he wrote was paying $89 including fees, the offer was $97 plus fees.

I believe if you were to read the post, he was saying $8/month.

Agree with Ilokey. The first threat shows the monthly fee is going up by $8 assuming the fees stay the same.
If you do nothing but watch tv constantly ( nothing wrong with that, a personal choice) and so many channels interest you why not ?
Satellite tv is still an inexpensive option for most people.

From the post-

My 120+ contract with Hopper & 2 Joey 4s expires 28Apr, at $89/month, including fees.

Is re-up offer of $97/mo (+ fees, but not sure of total)

$89 to $97 is indeed $8, but then the fees are extra, so more then $8.

I may be way off, but what's $97 - $89....

Fees usually dont change...

Well, when I called to cancel in February and was quite content in doing so, after canceling and "Enjoying a Fabulous Rush of Freedom", she asked as they do, "Is there anything else I can do for you?" I said, "Not unless you can give me back my old pricing that I should still be at prior to the last time I called in?"

Her, "Let me take a look" . . . "Done!"

Me, "Really!!!"

Her, "But only for One Year."

Me, "Can't get that on a Two Year deal?"

Her, "Nope."

Me, "OK, I guess you have me for one more year . . . "

Her thinking to herself, "SUCKER!"

$89 INCLUDING fees. So, $89 is what the final bill is.
$97 PLUS fees. So the bill will be more than $97.

So the real math is ($97 + fees) - $89 = something more than $8.

Recordings expire 9 MONTHS later with YTTV.

Man, I still have the 2012 Carling Cup final on my EHD. Three or four Super Bowls. And I still need to watch The Godfather Part II, which I recorded way back then as well.

The reason I stick with Dish is the Hopper 3, its such an awesome piece of tech. I also have the firestick which has a better quality picture than dish to my old eyes anyway, especially in 4k. If they have to discontinue service, so be it, I will stream full time Good luck Dish, hope you come up with a solution

Like you I have several Super Bowls, Olympics, and various programming on my EHD. Do I look at them often, not really. If DISH goes away as a company those recordings could very well go away as well. Maybe I could still watch them on my future defunct Hopper 3. I guess we'll see.
