I haven't received any letters about the price change yet...maybe when I get my next bill. I have mine through SBC though so it may be different. I got a bundled deal with SBC for having all their phone services, DSL. Cell Phone, SBC Dish etc.
I downgraded from AT180 to AT120. I was actually tempted to just go to AT60 since I could probably live without some of the AT120 channels that I do watch. 'TV' is getting too expensive. Especially considering that the good stuff to me (OTA HD) is free.
