UPDATED - New Dish Pricing Info!

[Kheldar]

Wow. My bill actually going down without cutting service... cool!

I'm sure they'll "fix" that next year.

Lock in price, especially if Frontier buys out Verizon.

Hope Frontier doesn't buy them out. People are nice, service/product is inconsistant. One of the worst rated DSL services around. Trust me, I have them.

S~

If they did, though that would open them up in my area. They have a lock right now and noone wants to come in. Right now they bundle with Dish. Saves me $5 a month on my bill.

Correct. $6 for all DVR's on your account. There is no difference in price if you do or do not have the phone line hooked up.

I wonder if the DVR fee will affect those of us with ViP211ks?

It's not a DVR (even though an EHD makes it one).

Thanks for posting this.

 

[--sexy-warlock--]

Looks like my bill will be going up $9.

 

[jacobm69]

Locals Not Included??

*Prices do not include locals; $6/mo more with locals

So i guess the rumor about the locals being included in all packages didn't pan out....??

 

[RandallA]

HD DuoDVR- $17 (+$10).

This is still confusing to me. They are currently charging $12.00 for the HD DuoDVR (622, 722), so the fee is going up $5.00 not $10.00. Unless the $12.00 is actually $7.00 (receiver) + $5.00 (DVR fee). If that's the case, then the equipment fee should stay at $12.00 since the DVR fee is now per account and not per receiver and they will now charge the $5.00 for TV2.

Existing non-DVR package customers with more than one dual tuner receiver not connected to a phone line or broadband connection will pay $5/month for each dual tuner receiver after the first.

Additional receiver fees will change as follows:
Solo- $7 (+$2),
Solo DVR - $10 (+$5),
HD solo DVR- $10 (+$3),
Duo- $14 (+$9),
HD Duo- $14 (+$6),
DuoDVR- $17 (+$12),
HD DuoDVR- $17 (+$10).

So does this mean the $5 charge for the 2nd tuner is in addition to the additional receiver fees? So someone with an HD Duo receiver would pay $14 "additional receiver fee" + $5 for the 2nd tuner?

Just got my new bill for service from Jan 18 - Feb 17

Got a new discount that fits with this price rumor:
Classic Silver 200 With DVR 57.99
Classic Silver 200 - Adjustment -4.99

But my 612 is still priced at $12.

NO. It's per receiver, not tuner.

 

[Kheldar]

NO. It's per receiver, not tuner.

I realize that my statement was poorly worded. What I meant was, for each dual-tuner HD receiver, would it be only $14 total, or $14 for the reciever + $5 for the 2nd tuner, total $19?

Don't get confused trying to add up sub fees. There aren't any. It's the DVR fee plus the applicable fee for your receiver. The receiver fee is just that...the dollar amount they are going to charge. Again, not a accumulation of fees.

NO, NO, NO. Just $14.00. Get that second tuner thing out of your head!!!

wonder if these will include the "platinum" channels-or if they are 10 bucks more.
would consider going back to gold till NFL season next year

 

[probinson]

So, if I understand all this correctly, with a 722k and a 622 with America's Top 250, my bill would look like this;

America's Top 250: $62.99
DVR Fee: $6.00
Duo DVR Receiver: $17.00
________________________

$85.99

Does that sound that right?

I'm so confused...

 

[Kheldar]

NO, NO, NO. Just $14.00. Get that second tuner thing out of your head!!!

Then explain this, fro mthe "OFFICIAL PRICE CHANGES" post:

Existing non-DVR package customers with more than one dual tuner receiver not connected to a phone line or broadband connection will pay $5/month for each dual tuner receiver after the first.

That sounds to me like an additional fee on top of the rental fees for dual-tuner receivers except for the first. Why else would that last sentence be there, if there wasn't an additional fee beyond the receiver rental? There still is a $5 additional fee on top of the rental fee if additional dual-tuner receivers are not connected to phone lines!

Interesting...I just viewed my new bill online (service Jan 14 - Feb 13) and there is not a similar adjustment... perhaps the "change date" is Jan 15?

You misread. That was referring to the way things are now. $14.00 period, the end.
