The Future of dishHD Absolute

[Koilvr]

But I switched to Absolute, so thats why I am happy.

I have been considering upgrading to Classic Gold from Absolute for a while now. I am tired of not having Fox, Fox Business, ESPNU, Speed, etc. I also really miss FSC. However, I need an excuse to spend an extra $37, like Absolute will be canceled "soon", or many new HD channels will be added to Classic Gold. Any speculations?

I look upon the additional $37 as a charge for my RSN's that I currently can't get, since I don't care much about the other HD channels I am missing. I can't justify the additional cost so I am standing pat.

When it is time to leave Absolute (or it is discontinued) I will shop around. I'm not happy that MLB isn't available in any Dish package. However, for now, I feel Absolute is definitely the best buy anywhere.

it's not possible to still order this absolute I suppose is it?

I thought I was getting a good enough deal when I set up to have TurboHD silver installed... tomorrow actually. OTA module purchased, platinum channels included, (no locals) $39.99 flat rate.

The prices of the classic packages don't really hold a tune to the Turbo HD package.. having to pay for all those extra, in my opinion, less useful channels and pay $10 per month extra for HD.

Rep I talked too was really good and actually explained to me why the Turbo HD Silver is better then the Classic Silver when I told him I wanted turbo silver, haha. Spoke good understandable english too.. knowledgeable and patient.

I just wanted a way to get animal planet, FX, Msnbc, etc, in HD without having to pay $48 for 12 months and $63 another 12 months. Fairly pleased I was still able to order Turbo HD over the phone. Fact of the matter is though, if I could not have gotten the Turbo Silver, I wouldn't have ordered anything at all.

Nope

Hopefully they didn't tell you that TurboHD Silver has MSNBC and FX in HD. It doesn't.

The day Absolute is gone is the day Dish can cancel my account.

Wish I could add Fox News to my HD Absolute package. Anyone had any luck doing that?
