Photos From Dish Network Booth

"I don't see the middle tier ($20) listed on your spreadsheet."

That's the last column, the Ultimate package. I didn't do the $29.99 package.

Edit: I added the pricing for the first two packages.

According to masterdeals photo(great photo by the way), HDNET & MHD are included in the HD Essentials package.

HDNet Movies, Universal HD, NBA HD, NHL HD, and the Voom channels (total 19 channels) make up the HD Ultimate package.

I can definately live without those channels if it means saving 10.00 a month. It will offset the 5.00 increase in AEP. If there is a rumored $10.00 premium movie pack with just HBo/SHowtime/Starz/Cinemax, I might add that and top 250 dvr advantage but then I would end up adding about 11.96 more in dvr fees to do so. So it comes down to more movies , or more dvr fees? I sure wish DISH would cut the dvr fees per receiver. THis alone should be killing them in the competition with Directv with one per account and 0 if you have their dvr hd plus pack.

I'm in the same boat as you. I have 3 DVRs so the DVR fees would kill me if I downgrade to AT250.

If they would add some more HD channels, like Sci-Fi , SpeedHd, FXHD and USAHD I would drop SD altogether and keep the HD Movie channels.

am I now confused. One would assume (I know shouldn't do that) that Ultimate meant top of the heap- all you can get- top banana- etc.. Guess i'll just wait awhile and see how it shakes out in the end.

I couldn't see the logos either. Masterdeals, any chance to get a better picture. Or maybe someone with better eyes than mine could tell me if HD Theater is in the Essential package or the Ultimate?

I'm sorry we can't get anything better right now.

This picture was from a corner of a slide during the powerpoint presentation at their press conference Monday. It was about 1/4 the screen - thus why it is blurry, I had to use a high zoom to get it.

The Dish booth has no information about the new packages.

I think the spreadsheet someone made looks very accurate, so the only news here is what channels are removed for the $10 pack, and the fact that they will offer a $30 HD ONLY pack again, which they dropped two years ago if I remember right (when they dropped the silver/gold/platinum HD packages and went to Dish HD addon to the AT packages)

Thanks. That's me who created the spread sheet because I was confused by just looking at the logos and I'm sure I wasn't the only one, I need to see them in a list.

If we could only figure out that last logo in the Ultimate package. This is the logo.

The channel missing in the AT100 and up package is actually the Big Ten Network not the FSN HD. So I'm missing the logo that is in the AT250 package.

Here is the updated list.

Your spreadsheet is accurate based on the photo except for NHL HD is not the HD Essentials package.

HD Ultimate includes Voom plus HDNet Movies, UHD, NBA HD, & NHL HD for a total of 19 channels. There are 19 logos in the photo for Ultimate package.

So the one missing in the Ultimate is the NHL HD? If that's the case what's the one in the AT250? I think we're getting there.
