DISH Announces New TV Bundle

[Ray_Clum]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 26, 2024 – DISH Network, an EchoStar company (Nasdaq: SATS), announces an exciting new offer for TV enthusiasts and streamers alike: Netflix is now included with your DISH TV subscription at no additional cost for two years. For a limited time, existing DISH customers signing up for a new two-year commitment can enjoy a Netflix Standard with ads plan1 seamlessly integrated into their DISH service.

“Finding something new to love has never been easier,” said Gary Schanman, executive vice president and group president, DISH Video Services. “We’re committed to enhancing our customers’ viewing experience by offering them the best content in the most convenient way possible. Our new DISH and Netflix bundle is a testament to that commitment.”

Now they just need to do something similar with Hulu and Disney Plus…. I doubt they’ll do Paramount Plus or Peacock, but one can hope… the last two can be a potential way around retransmission fights - CBS with P+ and NBC with PC.

Would be even cooler if it linked in with the Dish Anywhere App, a one stop app for all your viewing needs. Add access to Amazon Prime Video through it if you have Prime..

My son watches the heck out of Netflix, but complains about the commercials. Looks like I’ll be dropping to Top 200 from Top 250 and adding Netflix without ads and saving $2…

If you get points from a CC, you can use them towards Digital Gift Cards, use them for Streaming Services.

That is what I do, Hulu, Disney, Netflix, Paramount with Showtime, YTTV with Sunday Ticket in the fall ( only use it for 5 months) are all paid for with Gift Cards I get with points.

I prefer to use my cc points to pay down my balance. That’s REAL cash.

I did the math, gift cards ( only digital, physical costs more)were a better value, it worked out to for the points, a $100 Gift Card or less then $20 in money towards my bill.

Merchandise you can get with the points is a worse deal, it is like triple what things costs at stores.

But since I subscribe to the services, it saves me $100.

 

[Bruce]

Two things I noticed, first, with the new 2 year agreement, you are still subject to the next price increase, no price lock for your two year commitment .

From the terms at the bottom-

Netflix price not included in price lock offer.

Second, the $6.99 is only for those two years, jumps to regular price after that.

If you subscribe with this deal, can you still watch Netflix on other devices (computers, phones, tablets and streamers like Roku), or can you only watch with the Disk Netflix app and Dish Anywhere? I have been a Netflix subscriber since the beginning, starting with DVD rentals, and wouldn't mind saving half off my ad free subscription. If I can't watch on all the devices that I am able right now, it's a non-starter as Dish's Netflix app is pretty poor as is Dish Anywhere.

You just use the normal Netflix app, so it’s for all devices, not just the Hopper 3 or Plus.

OK, that's good. I assume this would show up as a new user account with Netflix. Me, my wife and three kids all have our own profiles in Netflix, I wonder if there is any way to move all of them to a new account?

You don’t have to create a new account. You’ll get an email from both Dish and Netflix like the picture below. Click the button and the Netflix account will change the billing from your credit card to show “Partner Dish”

 

[dennispap]

If you accept two years free, are you committed to any length of paid subscription?

I look with interest on reviews.

If you are talking about Dish,Yes it is a 2 year DISH commitment "For a limited time, existing DISH customers signing up for a new two-year commitment"
If talking about Netflix, im sure you can cancel at any time during , before, or after the 2 years are up.

 

[moonwink]

When I saw the original post my first thought was "oh boy!", then I saw the part about the two year commitment. I've been with Dish for over 20 years but there's no way I'm going to commit for two more years. The next jump in prices may be the last for me.

 

[Yespage]

Yeah, two months of Dish is near the cost of the savings with Netflix. One year, I'd consider, but two, the sports side is continuing to shift more and more away from sat/cable.

I hate having the story interrupted by commercials.

Same here. I pay NOT to have commercials. I won't even watch free stuff if it's ad supported.

Not really much of a incentive since I already get Netflix with my T-Mobile service and that’s the only reason I have it.

Ah... I have T-Mobile for 4 lines. What's this deal? I won't jump if it's the ad supported tier.

I prefer to use my cc points to pay down my balance. That’s REAL cash.

Talk to me about that. Aren't CC points our own money that the CC company is rebating to us? How is that real? It's a gimmick. Which works for me as well.

My way is still better, get $100 in points value towards Netflix ( or the other streaming services), which covers a tad more then 4 Months ($23 per month) or $20 towards your bill.

Actually, I believe it is the money of the retailers that are charged for using the card system.

True, but that money ultimately comes from you and me. Note the lower prices you can get at some places, such as service stations, for cash.

 

[Jim5506]

well, the dirty little secret is that by getting us to use credit cards instead of cash, we spend more than we ordinarily would. It is just so much more easy to slap down that piece of plastic than to fork over cold hard cash. Even if you pay off your CC bill every month and do not pay any service charges, you still spend more.

 

[Bruce]

Even if you pay off your CC bill every month and do not pay any service charges, you still spend more.

How?

I do not have a fee, pay it off every month because I use it for all my expenses, do not use it at places that charges extra, it lets me save money since the points I get from the card, I use towards digital gift cards for all my streaming services.

Paramount with Showtime, Netflix, Google (YTTV with Sunday Ticket. in September), Vudu, Hulu/Disney are all paid with those cards.

The only TV streaming services I pay for in real money is MAX and Peacock, but I received a deal on both.

You spend more because the reticence to buy questionable items is reduced - just put it on the card, the sticker shock only comes once a month.

Until you realize that spending with credit cards is designed to get you to buy more things you will keep spending.

The 1, 2 3% you get back often does not compensate you for the things you buy that you would not buy if you had to pay cash which you may not have in your pocket at the time of purchase.
