What is the difference to the $1.99 plan that I have

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The $1.99 plan is no longer available (If you have it now you are grandfathered for 1 year)

Plus they will send someone to your house to fix the problem if you can't do it yourself....

I note that this includes DishMover for "free", but they say if you have a 2nd dish for "International" Programming, there is a $50 charge. What about those of us with Locals on the wings?

 

[BobMurdoch]

I'm sure they will include it for free. They don't need anyone to go crying to the NAB about "discrimination" against shopping and redundant channels.....

$1.99 to $5.99----what happened to gradual increases? I will stay with the $1.99 for now. I refuse to pay a 300% increase. At that point, it's just not worth it to me.

Scott this is the first I 've heard of a one year grandfathering. I thought if you had the extended plan already then you were covered for good. Where did you get confirmation on the one year only on the grandfathering?

 

[Stargazer]

They just did away with the other warranty plan which is different than the $5.99 plan making it the only one available if you did not get the warranty yet wanting the plan, so it is not a 300% increase as it is not the same warranty covering the same thing. Existing customers are grandfathered to their warranty plan of $1.99.

 

[BobMurdoch]

If you have a PVR, you SHOULD have the plan as the hard drives could die over time much more than their non-hard drive counterparts....

The $1.99 deal was great for me and my 4 PVRs. When the year runs out I'm sure I'll re-up to the $5.99 plan out of necessity ($1700 worth of PVRs is too big of a risk)

I agree with BobMurdoch, it is well worth the money if you have a DVR.
