This is one of my pet peeves on this site. Quit assuming that it is Charlie who is the one demanding the prices for fees. This is a very large company that has a lot of positions where other people get paid to make decisions like these. Without Charlie we wouldn't even be talking about any of this amazing equipment.
I absolutely believe Dish is fine with people paying $15 for a Hopper 3 instead of two Hoppers. I'm not even sure Dish has that many customers that actually have more than one Hopper, mostly just users on here.
Thanks! I was really hoping to provide a little more info than I did but I can only post what's given to me. Looks like we play the waiting game a little longer. I would expect to see some material from Dish regarding the release in the next week and a half though.
Joeys are not going up. There was a misprint initially when the new prices were announced.
I wouldn't worry about any receiver fees right now. If Dish does increase the fees, which I'm sure they will in the future, it will be right along with every other providers equipment fees as well. Don't act like Dish just keeps raising fees while every other company remains very cheap. They are all very similar.
There is no official date from Dish yet, only from a few members on here that say they have the correct info. They may be right, as it falls in line with the end of January, but I'm not trusting anything 100% until I get a release from Dish as to when I can order and sell it.
Can you at least say if the new promos coming out are better/worse than what is currently out?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Initially dish had released a price list saying the joey was going up to $10. It was quickly edited.
I personally don't care if it goes up or not. So I'm not acting like anything just pointing out what was posted.
Have they not been posted on here yet? The 3 year price lock promotion.
Installers have posted pictures of Hopper 3 units in their stock / warehouse / trucks. That suggests to me that they are still working feverishly on the software so that when the receivers are hooked up, they will pull down usable software ! Ouch !!
Yes, for existing customers, but it's was also stated before the Hopper was shown at CES.
I'll eat Crow, if the Hopper 3 accounts don't seen another price increase in 2016 either from the Joeys or the Receiver it's self.
Not counting the $12-15 fees that already increased.
And you are right $15 for 16 tuners, is a great price.
But no way is that going to last.
Sorry, no way is Charlie or whom every you want to blame at dish going to Give up $22 or $24 per month from SuperJoey, or Addtional Hopper account to give you 16 tuners and 4K with all of the features for $15.
I'm not sold on that, No way.
I bet something else is announced once it actually launches.
I will eat Crow If Dish doesn't implement another price increase before January 15 2017

Makes you wonder why they feel they need to have this out so fast. They could have given it a Feb. date and I think everyone would be satisfied.

A current customer that has a Hopper and a Super Joey is paying $12 and $10 for a total of $22. If they upgrade to the Hopper 3 with Joey then they will pay $15 and $7 for a total of $22. I think Dish is just fine with that, especially if they think that customer is going to stay longer.
The customer that goes from two Hoppers to the Hopper 3 would actually see a decrease in price. I am one of those customers. I am now paying $24 in Hopper fees and $14 in Joey fees for a total of $38. When I switch to the Hopper 3 I will be paying $15 in Hopper fees and $21 in Joey fees for a total of $36. A whopping $2 from me.
How many two Hopper customers do you think Dish has? How many of those do you think are going to upgrade to the Hopper 3 right away? The numbers are probably much smaller than you realize.
Trust me I hope your right, But if Memory serves me right it didn't take very long for dish to Jack up the addtional hopper fees, and the addtional Vip Duo receivers.

I wouldn't worry about paying the $350 unless your account with Dish is in bad standing. Very few people are rated that low. The majority of customers are going to fall in the $150 price point.
The date for both is "by the end of the month" for both.
Disregard what has been printed on what was sent to some tech.
