I hadn't thought about that. Dish locks everyone into a two-year price lock, which only guarantees the price of the core package, and then separates out the local channels as an add-on so they can still raise the bill. Since the core package price is locked for two years, does that mean that you also do not get the additional $5 reduction to the core package that Dish is promising to partially offset the cost of the local package?
But the contract locks the price of the core programming, so it might not go down by $5.
Very well could be true.But the contract locks the price of the core programming, so it might not go down by $5.
I'm guessing I'm going to be just Locked to the old pricing system. At least for 10 more months anyway.
Maybe, just maybe, the lock is for an increase in the price of core programming and not for a decrease....But the contract locks the price of the core programming, so it might not go down by $5.
Maybe, but with the $10 discount for the contract, the price is already locked at a lower rate than the $5 decrease to the regular price, so the additional $5 decrease may not apply.Maybe, just maybe, the lock is for an increase in the price of core programming and not for a decrease....
According to the article linked before, Welcome Pack won't see a change. http://www.multichannel.com/news/distribution/cable-fees-set-rise-new-year/409676
"Dish customers that receive the two-year price guarantee won’t see any change to their bill for that period, and neither will customers currently in a promotional pricing period. Hall added that customers of Dish’s Flex Pack, Welcome Pack or DishLATINO Basico also will not see increases."
But a $5 increase to me says that the Locals will be $10 per month in addition to the cost of your $5 decreased base package.
Just back in the office now. Lading todays Retailer Chat on the DVR now. 
Strange... it was supposed to be a live retailer chat, however in the top corner it says recorded 12/13/16.
That's the problem, a $10 charge for locals, but they cannot be removed. So, they are blaming there $5 increase on local contracts this year. What will they come up with as a blame next year?
Dish will be offering local over the air antenna installs (which makes no sense as if you have an AT package you must tae the $10 locals too, and there are no OTA tuners for the Hopper currently available...)
Dual Tuner OTA Tuner for the Hopper and Wally coming in February.
