renameing packages does that mean more enabling fee's?

 

[RandallA]

Are they renaming the programming packages or restructuring the packages?

Blah captures it nicely. Blah. Blah.

they are going to add another useless shopping channel, so the can give the package a "New" name so they can justify a "new" higher price

 

[Robert NTSC Archivist]

Well it figures now that we dont have to pay $5.99 a month for DNS east and $5.99 for DNS west they will no doubt jack up the price of the superstations package.

One owuld think they would wait until February before it goes into effect.

Guess who's gonna pay for all the lawsuits and Dish's short coming with the Distance Networks, yep you guessed it!

Ahh that makes for a great night.

If I remember right the AT 60 plan is frozen for another year right? I think that is the only one that has a price guarentee on it right now. (Doesn't help me much).

 

[Mr Tony]

AT60 & DishFamily are frozen until 08

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok I have been digging and have found the following out...

REMEMBER THIS IS STILL A RUMOR.

New package names:
Dish Family- Will stay the same
AT-60 changes to AT-100
AT-120 changes to AT-200
AT-180 changes to AT-250

Dish Family and AT-100 (currently AT-60) will not have a price increase, AT200 and AT250 will be going up $3 per month.

Dish HD Packages will be priced $20 above its corresponding AT Package.

Adult programming is going up $5 per channel. (Lets hope this does not include Playboy)

Again this is just a rumor.

 

[Drone35]

My back is starting to hurt, maybe from all the bending over Dish is having me do,ouch!

 

[lakebum431]

Any idea on the Metal packages? Is this a non-HD only change?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am GUESSING, but the matching metal package would also have the same increase amount.

Actually it appears that the HD packages will be priced $20 above the corresponding AT package. So if you have SD now and want HD it will be $20 more a month for the HD stuff.

Wow twenty bucks more for corresponding hd metal packages that seems insane, looks as if dtv may have a banner year
