New Dish Network HD Essential Pack Info

[smokey982]

So by going with the essentials package with AT250, what other channels besides Voom will I be losing?

[gbjbany]

Universal HD seems to be missing.

Looks like you will lose the Universal hd channel, Discovery hd theater, Hdnet movies, I guess NHLN and NBAtv and soon the Bigten when it changes to it own pack. NO big loss on any of those for me. I don't really watch much of any of those. I do like HD net movies sometimes but they are all older movies anyway. I like the fact that hd net is separate in the essentials pack. I can still watch Torchwood in hd. I could care less now about Voom channels as they have become repeat city with the same two movies over and over again. I will miss MOnsters hd , but even that channel has become boring and repetitious. This is a good compromise for those who are tired of paying 10.00 more a month for stuff they no longer watch.

I am confused on this as well. I have top 250 and the $20 HD package now. What will I lose from what I got now and what will I not have by not having the Ultimate?

Isn't HD Theater listed in the graphic Scott has for the Essential with AT100?

HD Theater is included in the Essential HD Package.

The Vooms.

[Mike4HDTV]

Universal HD, HDNet Movies, NHL HD, NBA TV HD, and Voom are not in the Essentials package. They are in the Ultimate package for $20.

You don't have to do anything, just stay with your current HD package and you won't lose anything. Now if you want to save $10.00 then that's a different story.
