Hopper Pricing on current bill (Feb 2014)

[mackie99]

Is this new? Will the price of the hopper go up after 18 months?

Previously I was paying $7.00 for the hopper and $7.00 for the Joey - $14.00 total.

Now I see my bill has $12.00 for the hopper and $7.00 for the Joey with Hopper Receiver 1 of 18 -5.00 - $14.00 total

I guess after 18 months the hopper price is going up.

Wow, how did you get an 18-month credit?

I am thinking that its is a two Hopper household, forgot the date but for those of us That had your second hopper before a certain date, there is a 5.00 credit for 18 months Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

This was announced a while ago and gone over quite a bit. I'm in the same boat as you and will be getting credits as well.

Yep, it's a credit for those of us that are essentially "grandfathered in" to the original 2nd hopper pricing structure. Curious if the guys that have 3+ get the credit for each of their additional hoppers.

 

[mackie99]

Yes, I have two hoppers. I guess that's why I get the credit for 18 months. I was aware of the price increase, but not for the hoppers and credits. Thanks for the clarification.

I get credit for 3 Hoppers at $5.00 each for 18 months.

I also get the two $5 credits on my two HWS.

gives me 18 months to figure out what to do.

Same here. I will probably have to cut down on programs. Long way off, maybe Dish and Direct will merge by then!

 

[mackie99]

Do you only have two hoppers? I also have two HWS and I'm only getting one $5.00 credit for 18 months.

 

[peggy97850]

I also have 2 Hoppers, only getting one $5 credit.

 

[satnewb]

The credit should only be for additional hoppers after the first unit.

Yes, the guy saying he is getting 2 credits, has 3 hoppers. The one saying 3 credits, has 4 hoppers.
