Retailer Chat Recap - July 10, 2008

[Jason Whiddon]

CBS College Sports looks good, wish they had speed and fx.

hrrmm encore HD exists? would like to see this added to D*'s starz package.

[skierrob]

So what happens to those of us on the current HD Only package? Are we gonna get the new channels and still pay $29 for now? Or are we gonna have to upgrade to HD Turbo and pay $40 something?

Is it me or are these prices now higher? The current HD package has 45 channels for $29.99.

[whitewolf8214]

Everything is going up except our paychecks

[PopcornNMore]

Typical DISH marketing.

No real content. Change the package names to generate excitement and hide a price increase. Yawn.

I assume that the HBOs will only be available if you spend another $15 on HBO and won't be available on the HD only top package.

I fully agree!

[Geronimo]

BTW it looks like we finally get HBO Zone.

[dmendenjr]

For Clarification sake: Is the Turbo Gold the current HD Absolute (plus RSNs) for $10 more a month? Or do these new packages sync with the AT packages and for the channels in the current HD Abs pack it is +20 (adding in the ulitmate)?

Glad some got what they were looking for, I just got a bigger dish bill

[ncted]

If we are on the $29.99 HD only package now, what will we get going forward?

Also, note that the screen shot says TurboHD Gold will contain 40 HD channels. Right now the DishHD Only package has 45 channels according to the Dish website.

So what happened? Are we gonna lose 5 HD channels on Aug. 1 if we have to move to TurboHD Gold? If so, which ones?

Also, will that actually be a loss of MORE than 5 HD channels with the addition of Lifetime HD, LMN HD, CBS College Sports HD and Planet Green HD?

What channels will we be losing?

I'm getting worried!
