Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.
We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.
If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.
We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.
Sorry for the issue!

I was able to get the Renewal deal today and was under contract from a H3 upgrade - but I went through DIRT to make it as easy as possible. Tips like this are why this forum is a daily must read to me!
Many members have reported being able to get the Renewal Offer while already under contract, including myself. If the regular customer service routes don't work for you, you may need to call the Office of the President (special department at Dish) to get the deal.I chatted last night with a csr, am under contract since the h3 upgrade back when they came out. Was told that was not an available offer, will try dirt later today. Thanks Tampa8.
I got my account setup with the 2 year price lock and $10 off AT 250 package, plus $5 off for autopay. I am very pleased so far and am glad the price locks for 2 years. I have had enough of trying out Sling, PS Vue, and recently Directv Now. While those may be good for some, you can't beat the Hopper 3 DVR.
I just did a search through my old e-mails, and I found an e-mail from 12/15/14 that announced how my account would be impacted by the 2015 price increases with a $7 increase. I don't see a Dec. 2015 e-mail about 2016 price increases, but it was on my Dec 2015 bill stating there would be a $5 increase of base packages. So I am guessing we will hear something within the next week. I feel like there is some law in Illinois that we have to be notified before rates increase 30 or 45 days in advance.
Will be interesting to see what Dish raises. I wouldn't be surprised if I had a $7 increase since Dish doesn't have a separate RSN fee. Looking at Direct with the $4-6 base fee increase, plus an increase in the RSN's, I could see Dish doing $6-7.

Thank God for FLEX Pack and a two year price freeze. I won't have to worry about any increases till late 2018.
I doubt God meddles in anything as trivial as satellite TV service. Just saying.
Pretty sure its just an expression and the person didn't mean it literally

Oh dear lord, don't eliminate death. I have visions of an old sci-fi clip (Star Trek & elsewhere) where worlds are so crowded people are packed together, shuffling in lines.
Unless you eliminated all births, too.
Might want to allow suicide, for when we get tired of it all. We all get jaded with age.

This is not tied to any upgrade. DISH is letting current customers get about the same deal a new customer gets for cost. If you want to upgrade equipment do it at the same time you get the two year deal.
There might be a law in Illinois, but in Florida, Cox has increased my internet bill twice this year by $5 each time and just mailed the new bill without any notice. They also added a monthly cap on usage and a $10 charge if you go over that. My internet bill is now over twice what I pay Dish monthly.
You first!
I don't think we would get jaded if we could all be healthy, including our mental health, indefinitely.
Except me... by choice though.Huh. I didn't notice that before... How did we all get to be SD Gods? I don't feel like much of a god or I'd declare an immediate decimation of all programming costs, the end of all death, etc.
