My new bill is lower!

I just checked my new statement online and my bill dropped by about 6 bucks.

Now all I am being charged for is
HD absolute ----29.99
dvr fee ----------- 6.0
-----------------------------------
$35.99

Nice.

But I also had a 1.77 credit this month because they said I overpaid last month.

so this month it was 34.22

 

[Bobby]

Somebody's math is off. 29.99+6.0=35.99 not 34.99.....

 

[johnpas73]

My absolute went down $5 as well. 29.99 with locals, plus DVR fee

 

[grb]

I've also noticed that absolute seems to be immune to the price hikes.

Shhhhhh!

 

[Coop1979]

Sure wish mine would go down. Just checked my bill - June 8 - July 7, no discount.

 

[whatchel1]

Hope so

I mine will go down too. That way it will balance out for the end of the 10 mnths credit for getting someone else to go E*.

 

[luckycat]

Interesting I wonder what the formula is for the absolute price reductions. I'm still at $34.99 w/locals, plus $6 DVR fee. About a year ago I called to find out if I could get out of the DVR fee, but they wouldn't budge. I have a 622.

 

[whatchel1]

Yeah

It went to down too. Absolute w/ locals. :clap So that off sets no longer getting the $ 5 off for customer referral. k:

I have a 622 as well as an SD receiver and my bill dated 6/13 looks like this:

What is the date of your bill? Perhaps you haven't received the new pricing yet.

 

[goresnet]

mine is still 34.99... oh well, still a good deal

 

[whatchel1]

but July

The bill comes in June for me but not due until July. So technically it may be your July bill.

 

[uroberto]

I have Absolute with locals, too. Mine went down $5 as well.

 

[stardust3]

For everyone that said their bill went down $5. Do you have a dual tuner receiver that was not connected to either phone or internet previously?

I am just wondering if the new pricing is just now taking effect for existing subs as far as the $5 phone or broadband not connected fee for tv2.

My 722 has always been connected & I did not see a $5 decrease.

 

[langlin]

I have a dual tuner (722k) and it WAS connected before and still is and my bill went down $5 so I don't think it has anything to do with receivers or connections, I do believe it's because of new free locals included as I was paying 5$ for them.

 

[Dah-Henny]

I've got a sweet deal, but am not feeling the same love that some of you are feeling.

 

[oldanbo]

where's the receiver charge?

I have a 622 and 612. My bill is around $90. with a 250 pkg + HD.
Am I getting screw'd?

 

[Dah-Henny]

oldanbo, the first receiver is free. I only have one. When my children left the nest, I went from 4 receivers down to one 722.
Obviously, DishHD Absolute is an older, discontinued package, and those of us that still have it are grandfathered for now.

 

[stardust3]

Just received my new statement & it now shows $5 off, $29.99 with locals. I also noticed ala carte rfdtv & the outdoor channel are also now $3 each.

Probably Time to Change

My bill is going up $3.00 this month and another $10.00 next month. I have loved the VIP DVRs and have 3 (1 622 and 2 722's). However, with the large price increases for the DUO DVRs, the cost has gotten way too high, The $10.00 increase next month is due to the $10.00 6 month credit expiring. I do not know the cause of the $3.00 increase this month. My bill will be $130.00 next month with no premiums. My charges are for Americas Top 250, (2) HD Duo DVR receirvers, Multisport, HD Platinum, Service Plan, DVR Service, HD 250 Free.

I have 18 MIPs UVerse internet service and might switch to their TV service if I can get 3 HD Streams at once. I will probably also check out DirectTV, but have not liked their DVRs in the past.

I have been satisfied with Dish in the past, but the huge increases on Duo DVRs this year have changed things and Dish has now become the highest priced provider.
