DISH NETWORK TO INCREASE RATES APPROXIMATELY 3 PERCENT ANNUALIZED AND IMPLEMENT TWO-YEAR PRICE FREEZE

Offers Premium Movie Channels Free For One Year in Celebration of 30th Anniversary as Pioneer in Satellite TV

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 3, 2011 – DISH Network L.L.C. today announced that it is raising prices $3 to $5 per month on most programming packages starting in February 2011. DISH Network is then freezing prices on its primary programming packages through January 2013, becoming the only major satellite or cable company in America to announce a two-year price freeze.

As a result, the typical DISH Network customer will receive approximately a 3 percent annualized rate increase during that period. DISH Network is not raising prices on equipment fees or premium programming.

Also, in honor of the company’s 30th anniversary as a pioneer in satellite TV, DISH Network is offering premium movie channels free for one year to most customers. DISH Network also offers Free HD for Life, which provides access to high definition feeds of popular channels at no additional cost.

“DISH Network continues to work harder than any other company in the industry to offer the best prices, and the most choices,” said Ira Bahr, Chief Marketing Officer for DISH Network. “We pride ourselves on not raising rates each year, unlike cable companies. And despite rising programming costs, we are pleased to continue to offer the lowest everyday prices in America.”

Therefore, according to this, "DISH Network is not raising prices on equipment fees or premium programming."

We did out annual budget this last weekend. If Dish raises ANY prices, we are GONE for Comcast. HD is far superior. Chicago programming options are all there and in FULL, not WATERED DOWN HD.

It is now solely an ISSUE OF MONEY. At 5 sets, the additional cost per month is a whole lot less than what we pay Dish now and both the QUALITY, and the channel selection, are far superior.

not officially, but i'm sure it's coming sometime in the next 12 months after they get past this programming rate hike.

how else are they going to raise rates during this so called two-year price freeze?

By repackaging or renaming their tiers to sliver, golder and platter. :-D
