Logitech google tv will DISH have an NEW LOWER price?????

[Frank7004]

As of right now, there is nothing on the Dish website that states anything about the Revue being free or discounted for customers, old or new.

Harry needed a coffee this morning or something...he wasnt quite all there. He did say that the revue is still $179- for all customers.

And you don't have to pay a $4 monthly fee if you buy it from a retailer.

I was charged the fee when I bought mine from Sony.

OK, anyone thats seen me in action around here knows i love to buy stuff. Ive never found a good reason to even own the revue. I mean, whats the point, am I missing something special it does?

And you don't have to pay a $4 monthly fee if you buy it from a retailer.

You can opt out from Dish on the Revue and just use the Revue on everything else on the web. Dish will cancell your $$.4.00 charge.

The biggest deal about the Revue is it's an overlay. It passes the signal through to the TV and there's no switching to a different signal source to use it. You can hit picture in picture, open a web browser, look up that person on IMDB that you swear you remember what else they were in and then hit PIP again without missing anything.

Toss in Netflix, Amazon Streaming, some mediocre network streaming, and then hit or miss performance from other services like HBO Go, Crackle and others and that's basically the Revue.

It does some spiffy guide and show searching stuff, and that's also boosted by the Dish's 'we should charge a fee for that' service that just provides the unit with access to the contents of your DVR so they can be surfaced during relevant searches.

 

[gadgtfreek]

That's kinda what I thought. I guess it's cool, bit I can also see why they aren't doing well.

I didn't know that. If Dish offers it for free with rebate I might get one. I'd probably be better off just getting a Ruku 2. Much better device.

 

[n0qcu]

So is there anyplace to buy @ $99 ?????

Not necessarily, depends on what you need it for

Best Buy as of 7/31.

 

[gadgtfreek]

So is $99 the beginning of the end?

 

[TheKrell]

I'd say it's more like a 2nd wind. Now available from Best Buy, TigerDirect and Logitech (direct) at $99. No word yet from Dish.

[isaacmorseMI]

I'll get one if it's free through Dish.

 

[gatekeeper]

I'll get one if it's free through Dish.

I believe and hope DISH will go alot lower than $99.00I am definetly looking into getting one though....

 

[Peter Parker]

I decded to take the plunge. $100 ($99.99) seemed like a good price point.

 

[dan188]

Why is dish still charging 179 for them
