Zulu Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 People (including me) are reporting that DISH will take $50 off of one month's bill if you leave feedback here: dishstandsforyou.com. It worked for me. SKP #79313 / Full-Timing / 2001 National RV Sea View / 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubiconwww.rvSeniorMoments.comDISH TV for RVs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Interesting effect. People go to the website to get a $50 credit and then will complain about the cost of satellite TV getting more expensive.

skp51443 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Even more expensive if you don't take advantage of the discounts available. :-) First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

Medico Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I just left feedback so I will see if it works. Thanks Zulu. If Dish Network is willing to give me a credit for an honest feedback (I did not give a totally positive feedback) then I will take it. Many companies offer incentives to obtain feedback. Many times this is the only way they get the feedback. I do not believe these type of incentives affect the overall cost of satellite programming.

Guest Pensauncola Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 My understanding is that if you complain about Dish not showing Fox News, you get a discount or credit. If you encourage Dish to continue and fight the providers' rate increases, you get a "thank you for your feedback" message. It happens every time Dish is in dispute with a major provider. People complain, people get $5 off for six months or something similar. Everybody else just pays for it. I would complain about the loss of Fox News, but I've never watched it and that would be hypocritical. Same with CNN. I have limited hours left on this earth, ain't going to share it with some talking head on the boob tube (especially when John Wayne is on the other channel).

Maybe you're talking about Fox's link.

skp51443 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Well now I'm seeing this there: We are pleased to announce that DISH and Fox have agreed to the major terms of a new long term agreement that will restore Fox News and Fox Business to our customers. We are working with Fox on a few contractual details but we are optimistic that these channels will be restored very quickly. We know these negotiations were frustrating and we cannot thank you enough for remaining patient as we work to finalize this agreement. We were very appreciative of all the comments, emails and phone calls we received from our customers that were very supportive of our stance to fight for fair rates and terms. But we also appreciated the feedback that was critical of our decisions. These comments to DISH and to Fox ultimately brought our respective teams together in a spirit of compromise so that our mutual customers would no longer be impacted. Again, thank you very much for standing by us during this time. With this new agreement, you will be able to enjoy Fox News and Fox Business for many years to come. We sincerely thank you for your patience and for being a valued DISH customer. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

Dutch_12078 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Dish and Direct both have annual price increases due in part to the retransmission contracts they've negotiated that also call for annual price increases. Throw in a bit of inflation affecting other costs, and the only question each year is how much will the increase be.
