For the extra 3 bucks or whatever it is, I'm sure even HD enthusiasts are going to get AT200 since it includes locals and your local program guide info... and the HD sports nets if available locally.

I think they really are releasing this with the intention of not requiring AT. there is deffinetly more info needed that's for sure

Before when they offered the hd only pack, it wasn't qualifed programming, which meant you'd be hit with a $6 service fee and was unavailable to leased recievers since those require qualified programming.

I would think that if they're gonna offer this new pack it will be considered qualified programming since almost everyone is leasing these days

That's exactly the point I was making. That is the same access fee that they were charging to Sky Angel customers, and for those who only wanted locals. I wonder if you can still get that? $26/mo is still not a bad deal if all you want is HD.

the 612 is being released on feb/1/08 for new customers only no release set for exsisting cust. and as for sharing content between high def rcvrs. you can use a external hard drive. you just have to pay the one time 35 dollar acess fee for the acct.

Are you sure about that release date? The reason I ask is that you are wrong about two other points (unless it has just changed):

* Sharing content is limited - for now - to three "swaps" between receivers. There are many threads on this.

* The access fee is not $35, it is
.99

. Again, there are many threads on this.

I don't mean to be rude in pointing out the above, but misinformation can cause a lot of unnecessary grief!

well if your swaping like the other people were talking about. like when you get a new rcvr you can swap the info from your old to your new. and sorry about the 4 dollar diff. big deal

**RobP** · 01-16-2008 10:21 PM

i never said it was unlimited swaps! that was you asumming. when you didnt even now what i was refering to.

Whoa, easy tiger! I wasn't trying to pick a fight (notice the smiley face

?)

I was just pointing out some technicalities from your post. If you haven't noticed already, some folks can really go off on a tangent at times. I was just following up with what was meant to be a helpful correction.

Take it or leave it -- your choice.

Oh, and
