February HD questions

[Weezknight]

Okay I've been away from this site for awhile and I missed all of the new pricing arrangements that were announced. Could someone recap quickly what is going to happen in February?

Currently this is how my bill breaks down for my set-up, which includes a 625 & 211.

Dish DVR Advantage (200) - 49.99
Additional Receiver - 5.00
AT250 Add-On - 10.00
HD Essentials Add-On - 10.00
DHPP - 5.99
=======================
80.98 (Pre-Tax)

I'm wondering what my new bill will look like since they don't show any sort of HD upgrade for DVR Advantage on their website, is this even close?

AT250 - 54.99
Locals - 5.99
HD Gold Add-On - 10.00
HD Locals - 5.00
DHPP - 5.99
Additonal Receiver - 5.00
=======================
86.97 + DVR Fee + Tax

My guess, come Feb 2009, your pricing would go to:

Dish DVR Advantage (200) - 57.99
Additional Receiver - 5.00
AT250 Add-On - 10.00
HD Essentials Add-On - 10.00
DHPP - 5.99
=======================
88.98 (Pre-Tax)

I am assuming that you get rid of your 625 and replace it with a 622/722. There will be the cost associated with that upgrade too. You already have the 211, so I am assuming that you have the dish setup for HD.

See this thread for more pricing details.

Thanks for all of the answers. It looks like the increase is going to end up somewhere in the $10.00 region when everything settles down. I really don't know what to do at this point. I love the Dish DVR because of the 2-tuners, but a $10.00 increase when I've actually lost some of the programming I love (GolTV) is tough to swallow.

I'm not ready to switch yet, since I always do my research, but I may have to start calculating again.

Thanks again.
