Prediction: New Prices Will Include A Combined Stars/Encore Package

[Tampa8]

I don't know how you can make the argument when you didn't know you are not paying a rather hefty fee many others are. It isn't paying less - you are not paying more as some others are. I'm not going to hijack the thread so I'll leave it at that. Losing the Mets may be one reason you are not paying $7 + in an RSN fee.

Should NEVER be an RSN fee on those that don't watch them.

Not to defend Directv, But they do have 3 Basepackages that don't carry a RSN fee.
Select,Entertainment,and Preferred Xtra.
Preferred Xtra is Supposedly $3 less than Xtra package and Minus the RSN fee.
Which essentially could be cheaper than Xtra pack by as much as $10.29 for some customers.

I don't know the channel line up, But I'm told it still has sports channels, Just don't know which ones.

I'm completely out of the loop with this. If Starz is now owned by Lionsgate, is the plan to make Starz and EPIX sister networks, or is Lionsgate pulling out of EPIX? I know, where have I been? Writing a dissertation, that's where.

I don't think you are out of the loop overall. No one (that I am aware of) knows what it means that Lionsgate bought it. Speculation that maybe they stop being a premium service and become more like Encore or Epic. Nothing I have read gives any indication either way.

Can't you visit here and write a dissertation at the same time? We've got a few people on here who do it regularly.

But most of those people are trying to impress others. Fat Man is writing for his PhD!

Gotcha. So, Fat Man doesn't need to impress anyone.

Just his sponsers...

Damn skippy. I'm actually defending the proposal of my study this weekend!

Too bad you couldn't voluntarily drop the regional sports channel to drop the regional sports fee when taking the higher packages.

IF they moved the Encore channels into the Starz pack and out of the top 250, then that would cut the price by at least $6.00 buck on the top 250. Why not roll the rest into the top 200 and be done with it.

I imagine" rolling the rest" into to 200 would surely cause an increase as well.
So you are requesting top 200 should rise in price?
Just because Encore is $6 alacart.
Doesn't mean the REST are only worth $4.
You have TMC west and TMC xtra west, they surely would love the idea, But I think your basepackages are priced on the collective.
Charlie may not like that Idea, as for all you know he may only be making $1 on now.

Maybe a Top 200 customer doesn't want to pay for more channels he doesn't want or watch. Thats why he doesn't subscribe to the Top250

On Dish HD is free now.

Only with purchase of SD. In more and more cases, SD feeds are disappearing (at least on Eastern Arc) yet nobody's bill is going down now that they are only getting the "free" HD feeds.

Sub cost is sub cost regardless of whether you get it in HD or SD. HD has been free on Dish for quite some time now. So if more SD feeds disappear the bill won't change because of it because you aren't paying a fee for HD now.

That is my point, though. The promise of "free" HD can be confusing, which is probably why Dish is eliminating the "HD Free For Life" line on the bill.

I hope Dish doesn't add some new fees. I noticed that when I login to my account, my HD Free For Life line no longer shows up under "my current services" and I don't see any reference of it anywhere on any the pages. I hope they just removed the $0.00 charge from free HD to clean up the screen and reduce the number of lines and they aren't reverting to charging extra for HD again.

Most likely will divest from EPIX. Starz has the most potential of the two.

Dish doesn't charge an RSN fee.
