Why I love (and am now staying with) DirecTV

[Hemi 6.1]

Just so we are all on the same page, This was my first post on this subject. Now if you read the first post to this topic, you would see why the Top 120 was even brought up.

This is why I even started to bring up E* packages, Just for the record before this turns into another war zone topic. It really didn't have to be this way.

For anyone that doesn't know the Select package is only available from retention, I thought it cost around $35/mo, not $25, but perhaps they gave him another discount.

It takes some of the channels out of Choice, such as Food, animal planet, and many others. I think it also drops your regional sports network, but could be wrong on that.

Billing can offer select, when trying to help a customer out too. It is considered an retention offer but it one that billing can offer. Yes I know this sounds very confusion. And Food Network is not on the list. I will post a chanel line up of Select tommarow.

He got a new which I be talking about in the pub shortly. as far as the deal that he got.

We aren't talking about equipment, we are talking about a guy who has the select package for $39.99.
Even if He has 4 D 12 receivers it doesn't change the packages channel line up.
Top 120 is way better value then Choice select.
4 rooms Choice select $54.99
4 Rooms Top 120 $53.99
Not Talking about 4 Rooms of HD DVR stop going that route every chance you get. Vast majority of D* and E* customers don't have 4 HD DVRs. I don't even Have 4.

Can we assume 2 hddvr duos to match what showing up as a more typical account setup I am seeeing with d*

2 hddvr / 2 standard boxes

So the way I understand Dish's new priceing the cheapest route is 2 hddvr duos for the 2 hddvrs who feeding SD to othere tvs in the house.

Can we start using that scenario as the default equipment guide line ?

Thats sound more like whats really out there, But again look around the forums. 3-4 rooms of service is most likly the Normal.
4 Rooms of HD DVRs is not. Thats a huge upfront cost for both providers,and I don't care how many claim they got 3 or 4 for free.

I still think 2 HD HVRs is a high assumption for the average customer.
I bet most HD customers are using H-2* and Vip 211-222, and May have 1 HD DVR..
I know a lot of people that don't even have HD.
I know of 1 person in real life that has 2 HD DVRs from D* and the others are SD D11s, And he works for D*.
I'm the only one out of my friends and Family that Have 2 Duo HD DVR's from E*.
It seems 1 HD DVR Duo and a 222 or 211 is the normal.

But were not Using 4-6 HD DVRS as a baseline since thats most likly less then .05% of satellite customers. Thats Just what D* Fans do to try and Even up the score, when really they are just jacking up the D* costs and don't even realize it.

6 HD DVR's From D* would cost a customer $32 in Fees alone plus, and Atleast $895 in upfront costs, Gimmie a break !
D* not giving out 6 of these for free to a guy with Choice Extra pack.
What so D* can lose money on a customer? Not going to happen.

Ummm are you on something?

Your making no sense.

I never mention 4 hddvrs / or 6 Alot of customers are now getting free 2nd hddvrs and dish website when I went to it and I told it 2 hd tvs 2 regular suggested the hddvr duos.

So I think and even being fair as sayin lets assume for all purposes from now on 2 hddvr duos for E* vs 2hddvrs and 2sd for D*

with E* that is a wnat 17 dollars since the first is covered

Now from looking at the pricing structure 2 722 would be cheaper then say 1x 722 1x 221 1x301/311


If you think I am being unfair say so but dont put numbers in my mouth. I never said 4 or 6 as while I might own 4 and 2 hd non dvrs with dish and 4 hr2x boxes i never said I was normal and never mentioned thoses boxes till now.
