Today That cost is:

HD Enable $7.00
DVR Service fee $4.60
Total Now $46.59
So the RSN will cost $3.40 which wasn't available before
Total Gold $49.99
It seems a lot of people wanted this (not me) and now it's available

I thought you didn't have to pay the $7 HD enable fee if you had HD programming. So the RSN is more like $10 extra.

That IS what I wanted. If I have 2 DVRs, I pay another service fee, correct?

I just ran it at The Dish Store Net order system and that's what it came back with.

Two errors in the above.
The HD only package is an HD pack so no $7 HD enable fee and the DVR fee is $5.98 not $4.60.

And how is it 17, since StarzHD already is one of the existing HD premiums? (Not being critical, just trying to figure out how it is 17 and not 16).

What did they have to say about the DTVPal this time?

I hope it was related to fixing the firmware and a method on exchanges/updates

Did they explain how one store is able to sell them for $39.99?
This is bellow the cost EchoShpere is charging retailers like Claude from DishStore.net

"We" think it is Starz HD West and actionCinemax. Is this correct, well, who knows for sure.

To try and make heads or tails of all of this, I did what I usually do... make an excel spreadsheet (see attached).

It would be my guess the turbo stand alone tiers are synced up with the same AT package... (sans the HD Ult/Turbo Plat)... I mean, the numbers match up pretty closely...

So more like

HD Only Package $29.99
Locals $5.00
DVR Service fee $5.98
Total Now $40.97
So the RSN will cost $9.02 which wasn't available before
Total Gold $49.99
