DISH Price Increase

[Scott Greczkowski]

When February roles around it normally price increase time for DISH customers, and this year is no difference. But unlike other years only a few minor increases to tell you about.

DISH Latino Basico will increase $3 a month to $22.99

If you have more then on Premium Channel package then your bill is going up $2 a month. If you only have one premium channel package then there is no increase.

If you want a FREE Sling Adapter for your 722 ORDER IT NOW while it is free with rebate, as after 1/31/12 it will cost you $30 with no rebate.

And there you go... not so bad! (Although I am already cringing when I think of what 2013 will bring us!)

Did you watch their retailer chat at CES?

That's quite a big jump are you sure it's correct.

Nope I was out at a breakfast with Mark Jackson and some other Echostar execs.

Man how did that 0 get in there?! It's only $2

 

[n0qcu]

That sounds better.

 

[Scherrman]

They went over some of the new promos during the chat. Doesn't look like any major changes which is good.

I'm already laughing at all the nonsense responses that will follow.

The thread title could have been modified so as not to make EVERYONE think that they are going go get HIT, which they are not.

Did I hear right that the sling adapter is going from $99 to $30 after the rebate offer ends??

That is correct.

$30 for the Sling adapter doesn't sound too bad. Not free, but still much better than the original $99.

 

[Scherrman]

No rebates to fool around with now.

Exactly. I may pick one up after 1/31.

Is that $2 extra PER PREMIUM or just $2 total?

Either way, so much for price locks! Still, could be worse, but that's borderline false advertising! Dreading next year! Contract will be up though... HMMM!

Just $2 total. Also remember the only things with price locks were the standard packages such as AT150, but not the premium channels.

Thanks Scott! I know, I know, they didn't ACTUALLY false advertise, but simply omitted the fact that it's just the "Primary Programming" that has the price freeze! Always have to read in between the lines!

I'm sure it's probably the lowest price increase out of the major providers though, I also know that DISH can't help it that their programming contracts go up every year, but it's just getting crazy, in 5 years TV will be $200+ a month!

 

[dan188]

30 bucks for the sling adapter sounds like a grate deal. Can I have a sling box on both my 722ks at my house and aacess ethier one

 

[Yespage]

I was expecting Latino Dos to go up because it wasn't protected from a hike. No increase. Dish disappoints again.

With the rumor I started about Dish Network looking to buy AT&T, it is very likely Dish with double the programming rates to raise the capital to buy out AT&T.
