Retailer Chat News

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am watching today's Retailer Charlie Chat.

If any news comes out of it I will post it here.

So far just going over all the new DHP plans.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They just announced that 322 for now is DHP only...

If a customer purchased a 322 and called Dish to activate it and they are not a DHP customer they will not activate the 322.

510 Upgrade program for DHP customers - 1 year commitment reset Dish 510 receiver $49 with Credit Card autopay.

510 Upgrade for standard customers - 1 year AT50 or higher $99 and credit card autopay or FREE 510 for 2 year commitment to AT50 or higher with Credit Card autopay. Limit of 1 receiver.

BTW, at bottom noted - I can delete my posts, but where is the feature ?
I don't see any Delete button in Edit window .

EDIT. It's coming for my new posts - Delete icon. Thanks.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I believe that is dealer cost and not public cost.

If that indeed is dealer cost I will need to edit your post P Smith as I believe what things cost dealers should be kept the dealers and their suppliers.

Milwaukee Locals & 811

Scott.

Was there any mention of the Milwaukee locals since they are only 60 miles east of Madison?

Also, will the 811 be ready on November 1st?

Thanks,

Tom

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I don't recall any mention of Milwaukee locals (they were reading them off as fast as I could write them down)

They did not give any release date for the 811 but kept talking about the 811 as "when available"

 

[Smith P.]

So Scott, are you Dish retailer ? Only retailers have subscription for 999 channel.

Scott,

When will the 510 upgrade for existing customers be availible?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

In November.

 

[cooper]

Thanks

Hey Scott, thanks for the info. Any word on the 522 being for DHP only, what about Hartford locals?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No word on Hartford locals, and the 522 is the same as the 322, DHP only for now.

 

[Smith P.]

I didn't catch any word about 522. And no real talk for coming 921 !

Scott, the begin re-run the chat again - you could check locals now.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Im unfortunately not watching now.

I had a special feed setup so I could see what was going on at my office (and hear as well)

 

[Guest]

Can an existing dhp customer upgrade to the 522?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Joe I am not sure, but if the answer was YES then your DHP contract would start over on the date the 522 was installed.

 

[RJS]

Scott, was there any reason for the ABC channel not being available for the Madison, WI locals? ( I'm sure this would apply to other locals areas as well)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No other then saying they were in Negoiations.
