What is shallow is your assumption to my tv viewing. Read my message. See where it says I have COMCAST? I watch the Science channel on Comcast. And, even if I didn't why is it shallow to enjoy a channel because it's now in High Def?

Seems to me that you are Shallow.

Don't you also get the National Geographic in HD if you upgrade to the 250 pak? So thats 8 more hd channels when you jump from 100 to 250.

If HD is the future and Dish wants to be the leader, they need to stop pushing SD packages on the backs of the HD package.

Why do I even have to get an SD package at all? It's bull.

Yes I see what you are saying and I'm not disagree with you. My point is that many TV Service Providers do this they all do similar things just call it something different. Yes one of these days we will be back to one format which will be all HD. But the TV Service Providers have limited control on that we all must wait on the Networks to do their part which will take sometime. Maybe at some point Dish will do some kind of special HD Package where you can pay just to get HD. Again I see what your saying.

I'll bet they moved you to the AT250. You might want to check if you are getting other 250 channels that you weren't getting b4. Such as sd channels.

I've not heard of Dish activating specific channels like that.

The premium channels are Nat Geo, Science, Animal and Golf. These are the 4 you don't get if you have Top 100. So you gain 4 channels.

How on earth are you getting those 3 RSN's where you live, particularly FSN North? According to Dish's locals page, you should only get CSN Chicago HD
