My June bill just posted, down $5. I now pay 29.99 for Absolute with locals. This is the second reduction this year for me, also down $4 on equipment with the new pricing. I could get to liking E's new pricing policies.

Mine just went up another $5 for June. DTV just came out with their Whole House gear. It's lookin' mighty interesting.
Grumble... keep gloating.....
Worst thing I ever did was quit HD Absolute and Dish to try out FIOS. Now that I'm back with Dish after being less than happy with FIOS, I'm having to pay the same $29.99 for Dish America that you do for Absolute. And I get less than 40% of the channels that you get.
Don't EVER give up Absolute if you have it!
And yes, I've begged with Executive Relations to get HD Absolute back, but there really is no budging once you've left Dish Network. I don't blame em, but I'd sure love it if someone somehow got me that package back.

My bill for Absolute with locals also went down $5, so I've been wondering if that was a mistake or if they cut the cost $5/month in the latest pricing adjustments. Thank you for posting, as now I know it wasn't just my account and this was probably not just a mistake!
I still have a $10/month credit on my account (for a few more months) for renewing my commitment awhile back, so I now pay $19.99 per month for a great HD lineup! I'm never canceling Absolute even though there are a few channels I'd like to add (I'd love to add the multi-sports package, for example).
I'm still on my original 622 from when I signed up with Dish in 2006, so at least Dish hasn't spent much on equipment for me. I tried U-Verse for 3 months side-by-side with Dish and thought that Dish was a much better choice for my family.
If it is a mistake, the best way to keep it, is to not tell everybody, which you just did. Oh well, to late now. We will just have to wait to see if our bill goes back up, blabbermouths.

Nice! Always feels good to get the same thing for less money. Dish Network has some really competitive pricing nowadays and with the free HD for life, its just that much better.
Have you contacted Dish to set that up yet?
Can't get free HD for life because I have HDAbsolute but I don't care, I have all the HD channels we want and the price is great.
My Absolute w/locals went down $5 for the statement dated 6/6-7/5, no explanation on the statement. Maybe Charlie Absolute-ly loves his frugal subs!

grandfathered
Grandfathered packages stay the same until the sub drops them to go to another.

Over $3 more for me (and that goes up another $10 and change once the loyalty credit vanishes). Will be closing in on $80 for just a lone 622 w/ AT200, Platinum and 2 supers pretty soon
Yep mine went up $3 this month and will go up $2 more after next month when my last loyalty credit expires. Over half of my bill is now receiver fees and because we can fees. Think I am going to give up my 722 that I have had since they first came out and get a second 211. Then I lose the dvr fee, tv 2 fee, drop the supers and the protection plan and I save $24 a month.
