Let us know. I sent a similar request to them on 12/24, resent it on 12/29, and have yet to hear word one back from them.
Nowthat I am back from my trip I will e mail the CEO office and ask what my new price will be, and let everyone here know. since it appears hazy at best
So...before the posts were deleted, he said Ohio & Wisconsin would be notified on January 1st???
Someone claiming to be a CSR posted that rumor, then deleted it. Why would two states get a heads up, on a Holiday?
Nor yours. Just asking a hypothetical question.I would not expect any notice on a holiday either, unless it was automated. As for why, it is possible that some states do have advance price increase notices. I just thought that IF something was out there, it would be nice to have it posted. Don't get your knickers in a twist.
...Don't get your knickers in a twist.
Rather startling since multiple CSRs told Scott the same thing about a $30 increase.Looks like the DISH csr in Post #1 was totally WRONG about the credits for tv 2 and dvr fees.
What is up with Dish! These fees on top of fees are starting to sound like the airlines, the fee shuffle game. Any way you slice it it is the same more costs. The SAT companies enjoyed an advantage for years over cable, but with FIOS and UVerse now I don't see the clear advanatage. Actually when you start bundling services I think the SAT companies in the long run are in for bigger competition. Verizon and ATT want to own all data/voice/media coming to your home and they are both well positioned to do that, time is the only thing against them as they need to roll out infrastructure that Comcast already has. I think if you roll foward 5-10 years unless you are in an underserved rural area the SAT companies will begin a long decline. I am do fed up with Dish polices and am just waiting in ATT to provision 3 concurrent HD streams and I suspect I'll be moving to UVerse. Dish has had constant glitches with the NBC feed here in ATL and the HD package issues. I was PRO Dish when they had HD only packages that is what kept me, but they ditched them and want me to pay like $20-$25 more per month to get an SD package just so I can get the 3-4 HD channels I am missing. At that new price point Cable and UVerse are compelling deals especially when you look at bundling voice and Internet. I thinks the way Dish can stay compelling is ot offer true a la carte programming, this can easily be done with soe software development, the problem will be with negotiaging deals with the program providers, since I suspect their deals are based on tiered pricing. Personally until then I love my NetFLix and ROKU as I get a much better value there than from Dish. Honeslty NetFlix and Roku are one of those thinsg where I feel guilty, like I am getting a way better deal than I am paying for.
I've only been with Dish since June of '09, but after 12 years with Insight cable and all their BS, specially after I got HD from them, I still think Dish is a way better alternate. The Motorola DVR Insight rented at $15.00/month was a piece of crap. The other disadvantages of Insight's bundle was the only thing you could do on their website was just pay your bill. You could not look up any phone info, like a list of numbers called, or past statements (like you can on Vonage). Also, there was no info online about your cable subscription, like Dish has. Oh, and the one other thing was I had no where near the number of HD channels I now have with Dish.
I had Insight for cable and I think there is no comparison between them and Dish. The number and quality of HD blows them out of the water. And don't get me started on that POS Motorola DVR. It is annoying how you can't even pull up a PDF copy of your bill on their website. I still have them for Internet because WOW can't even compare to them. I would love to have FIOS, but I am dreaming to think they would bring it here.
My phone line has been the most reliable utility I have had int he 18 years in this house, I don't think I have lost service more than 203 times in 18 years, even in bad snow storm (in ATL that) that knocked power out for 7 hours, I still had phone!
I think the big players to put the squeeze on Disha dn Direct are going to be UVerse and FIOS, Comcast might be able to compete, but until they fix their own issues I think the newer systesm that Verizon and ATT have will have room to grow.

I tried cable for 2 weeks and had 4 outages and dumpeed their Internet. If ATT can get bonded pairs up and running to boost the bandwidth I see them going to 4 HD streams and 24Mbs Internet they got me, even 3 HD streams is all I need.
The only difference in the bill should be +$2 for each additional SD receiver / tuner and -$6 for each additional DVR receiver on your account (except those with AEP). I guess we could go through all scenario's (receiver setups and billings) that are possible (up to three receivers to start, someone else can add more scenarios) This only affects those with two or more receivers so that means I will list two or three receivers. #2's don't include MPEG-4 receivers in certain situations because the price increase is not there since they are already at $7 for an additoinal outlet/receiver/tuner fee.
625 = 522, 625
510 - If you replace this with 501/508 then your price remains the same if you already have a DVR on the account that you pay a fee for.
722 = 622, 722
311 = 301, 311, any other single tuner SD non DVR receiver (they are eliminating 301 and legacy receivers due to 8PSK conversion)
Great info....But what about someone who has a 722K and a 612, like myself
The increase would not apply because those people are already being charged the $7 additional outlet fee, correct? The 612 would equal a 510 and the 722 would equal a 522, 625. if that is the case.
