subs are going to HD for life if the're paying the $10.00 HD fee, it applies to subs with no HD for life for what i understand
I remember 10 years ago Americas Everything pack was $69.99
That was the way i read it too. So as an AEP subscriber before March of 2012 and already on HD for life I am entitled to nothing in terms of credits. :rant:
What I didn't understand is how every quarter, Dish made millions in profit even though they lost subscribers for that same quarter. That was until now.

i think you'll get a $10 discount for 18 months (there is an asterisk * to qualify: http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=83517&d=1355862050)
I feel more and more like it's time to eliminate the forced bundling of channels from the networks to the providers..
One of these days the broadcasters and providers are going to push their customers over the fiscal cliff.
But if a tipping point is reached, it could get ugly for satcos, cablecos, and providers. It appears sports owners and Hollywood believe they can get everything they want out of us, with no limits. There could be some business failures. Hopefully, no bailouts.
And maybe a bankruptcy reorganization could yield 1 or more sat/cable cos with sports free options, or the entire lineup being sports free.
Of course, maybe I'm wrong. I can't see how people will pay hundreds of dollars taking the family to "THE GAME!" Yet plenty do. Redskins season tickets, anyone?
Sorry, but there are supposed to be anti-monopoly laws on the books. American media has turned into just a few corporations which can hold one channel hostage for another channel to get higher rates. No one is forced to pay for television, but at the same time, ESPN isn't forced to bid ridiculous sums for sport broadcasting rights (Monday Night Football for instance). Their quasi-must carry status lets them bid whatever because they know they can up the rate on the sat and cable providers. Then you have OTA channels who should be kissing Dish and Directv for expanded coverage, yet hold them hostage to broadcasting rights for their channel.Let's put this in perspective: It's tv. Nobody is forced to subscribe to any pay tv, at whatever price. Nobody HAS to watch tv.
