DISH Introduces Flex Pack

[Tampa8]

I wasn't wrong period.
You quoted the Dish $39.99 offer and claimed it included the Hopper.
Thats false.
The $39.99 offer is $49.99 if you add a Hopper.

Its been well documented that the Flex pack is $34.99.
$29.99 with Autopay.
The New customer offer is $39.99 that Includes flex, Locals and Autopay.

That is A deal not the only deal for new customers. In fact the $39.99 is no more a deal than getting the Flex Pack and adding an add on yourself. Show me where I said the $39.99 DISH offer included a Hopper. You read into that when I was specific I was talking about the $29.99 Flex Pack then adding a Hopper. No matter how you spin it the Flex Pack is $29.99 and adding a Hopper is $39.99 for new subscribers and that is what I responded to when you said that is wrong. My only mistake was adding an additional $5 discount for autopay in my first posts and then said that was wrong.

Maybe you should go back and read post 443.
You said 34.99
Thats the only Promo I see dish running.
And thats a $39.99 Flex pack with locals, and a $10 hopper add on.

I give up because it will go on forever. Another thread derailed. I was candid and said I was wrong but you continue to say I am wrong now when it is you who is wrong. That post was with the $5 mistake I made, nowhere did I say it was the DISH $39.99 offer in fact I was clear it wasn't.
"A new or old subscriber can get the Flex Pack for $29.99 they do not have to get the add on pack. When it first came out before when getting a Hopper it showed and added $15 for Hopper but $24.99 for the package for new subscribers. ($34.99) Now it is $29.99 for the package and $10 for the Hopper ($34.99) instead of $15 for the Hopper- Same extra $5 savings but correctly attributes it to the Hopper DVR savings."

I would say no because your not a new customer.
And not Mike ...

You will get a $5 autopay credit.
But if you decide to upgrade to a Hopper3, maybe they will offer you the $10 promo.

Flex $34.99
Locals $10.00
Auto pay - $5
total $39.99
+ your DVR fee.

Correct for current customers it should be $29.99 for the Flex Pack for a two year contract and autopay, guaranteed price for the two years, $10 for locals for a total of $39.99. Then add whatever your current DVR fees are.
They said the DVR fee discount is only for new subscribers and their fee would be $15 without the $5 discount they get. But never hurts to ask. That's another $48 savings if $10 rather than $12 a month. I don't know if you would keep your Grandfathered fee after.

So the 1st Hopper fee (any version) is zero, right? $12 DVR fee for Hopper or $15 if hopper3, unless you can talk them into the $10 fee.

Yes, first Hopper free any version. (or any receiver) Hopper or Hopper w/Sling is $15 DVR fee now the $12 is a Grandfathered fee. If you don't want a Hopper you could get a VIP receiver and that DVR cost is $10. If you already have a Hopper then if you add other receivers each will have a cost. Hopper, joey etc.

DVR Service
Hopper or Hopper w/ Sling
$15.00
All other DVR receivers
$10.00

So a two year contract, with autopay current subscribers, for Flex is $29.99, add a Hopper DVR fee then $44.99. Then add whatever ad on packs you may want and whatever receivers you want to add.

Basically for you, Yes.

If you have 2 Hoppers, You pay $12 DVR fee, and $12 on your 2nd Hopper.

Any New account after the beginning of February 2016 all hoppers have a $15 fee doesnt matter which version Hopper.
Its a DVR fee.

Log into your Dish account and click through making the change and see what it tells you ! You don't have to follow through - just back out when it gives you the 'proposed' rate.

I believe that only works if you already have the proper smart card in your receiver. I can't do it yet (haven't upgraded the card that was sent me yet).

Yes, you have to have the G4 card.

Did that, total goes from $125 (t200) to $95 (flex), both with movie pack and locals, flex with Heartland. DVR fee stayed grandfathered at $12 (probably upgrade to h3 soon). A first for Dish, allowing existing customers in on this! Will save another $5 after I upgrade the Hopper (+$3dvr-$8protection). And hopefully the $5 autopay discount I don't currently get.

Switching will save you $19 a month over a Top 200 contract.

I wouldn't have thought they restrict people like that ! What if you go to the site like you're not an existing customer ? I guess then it might give you "new customer" promos though.

I have been already doing auto pay forever. I cut my bill about 30 bucks switching to Flex. But if there is a way to save even more, I am all for that. I thought about getting rid of the protection plan but hate to have to pay for a service call if equipment craps out. In all the years I have had Dish I have had to have a tech out maybe 2-3 times? Last time a couple of years ago the LNB went out on my Dish 500 and they took care of it no charge. What are thoughts on protection plan?

 

[Bobby]

Get rid of the protection plan. That will save you $8 a month. If and when you might need it you can simply add it then.

 

[tcat007]

Switching will save you $19 a month over a Top 200 contract.

I assume that's if I call them and get the $10 2 year price lock discount on the T200. That seems to jive with the online total.

Yes, and autopay.

New Card:

With my new job, it keeps me out of town for about 2 months at a time while the family is at home. Wife watches her shows, I record mine and watch when I want over Sling. Before I commit to changing, is there a way I can call Dish to just send me the new card so I can swap it out when I'm home over the labor day week to test everything to make sure it's working.

Then once the new card is in, I can go online and make the pack changes?

Thanks...
