thats great

The price increases i may be up to face (or someone new). $10 now for the hd tier (used to be free), $5 increase on U200 package, DVR no longer free but costing $9, 2 stb's costing $7+$7.

$10
$5
$9
$7
$7

a $38 increase from the price the were offering a year ago until now. All these numbers exclude tax to make it easier.

I pay $89 now (U200 1 dvr 2 stb 6mb internet)with an increase of $38 to now $127. That is a 42% increase in one year when they vow not to increase prices but don't lock price in with a contract.

Now I am not sure how many of these new prices will effect me until next month but the cost for a new customer from a year ago is staggering. The satellites are looking cheap now.

HD service was never free. It has always been a $10 charge. Don't know where that came from unless you specifically got some kind of deal.

As for the DVR, AFAIK, it is still included with the majority of their packages, like U200, U300 and U400 and even the UFamily.

That was just a promotional offer, similar to the one I got when I got UV over a year ago. I got the Movie Package free for a year, so I wouldn't include that as an actual price increase, per se.
