$10 Welcome Pack Programming FAQ

[STEELERSRULE]

It is also called the DISH ESSENTIAL PROGRAMMING PACKAGE. Try that and see if it rings any bells in their empty heads. And specifically ask for an ACCOUNT SPECIALIST when trying the 800 # and ordering. Don't even bother with the usual CSR.

If that does not work, try writing an e-mail stating what you want, specifically(leave nothing out) too ceo@dishnetwork.com This used to really help people with their quests to get Sh*t done. I don't know if it still works, but it could not hurt to try if the phone call does not help you.

I've never had so much trouble buying anything. None of the local stores I've tried will sell me the Welcome Pack. SO, finally after many attempts and thinking about it, it's off to the 800 number and no one there seems to know anything. Then we almost get it done and they say something about it going to $39 after six months................. I'm out of here.....

Backed out and it's over for now. We'll just suffer along with a bad pixel every once in awhile from the wonder DTV.

everyone is calling for the dha24 promotion which is $9.99 for six months for the classic bronze 100. what you want is either the FlexTV promotion or the Free For All promotion. Tell them you don't want classic bronze 100 but that you want American Welcome Pack. any supervisor can help them find it if they don't know where its at in the computer so it doesn't require an account specialist to get it set up. CSRs have to learn things while on the job sometimes so just be patient and let the guy do his job of helping you.

Can you add HD and DVR to the Welcome Pack? For $29.99 per month, it isn't bad.

EDIT: Oh never mind. I see that HD can only be added to Classic Bronze of greater.

A couple of months ago I heard of this Welcome Pack and "Googled" around and found that I liked the channel selection better than the Family Package. I own all of my equipment (a 311 and separate dish 300's for the 119 and 110 slots).
I use the dish mostly in the daytime as a supplement to my primary viewing on the antenna and Netflix. When I called the lady in India and asked for the American Welcome Pack she knew exactly what I wanted and it was switched within minutes, for a $5 downgrade fee.
