Can't figure if I can get the HD Platinum by simply changing to it. Why does it have to be so difficult??

i have the same package and am wondering this also

Doesn't this company WANT to keep existing subs without raping them?

I just don't get it.

Grr.

I wonder what AEP+HD will cost under this new regime. (I'm AEP/PlatHD/Locals/SuperStations).

Yes, it was $31 back when I had three (a few months ago).

Since DVRAdvantage will be no more I wonder if that means that if I elect to not change my programming to get the DishHD+Platinum on August 1st that I will lose my $3 DVRAdvantage credit.

It is simple really. Charlie keeps loosing subs (while others are gaining them) so he must get more out of his existing customers to keep turning a profit. He seems to not care if he screws his customers. He did it royally to his TurboHD subs -- even leading them on with lies before pulling the rug out from under them.

Yeah, that part makes no sense whatsoever.

But then there's the question that they don't even address: will we who don't subscribe to Platinum get those channels for free since new subscribers will?

Broken record, STL.
