Platinum channelsnot in "Everything" pack?
ADVERTS 1
I've been a Dish customer for about 6 or 7 years and was considering going to the "Everything" pack, however, in looking at it I see the platinum channels (now known as movie pass) do not seem to be included, is this correct? My understanding of the "Everything" pack was that all premium movie channels were included and since "movie pass" is listed as a premium should this not be included?

The package never included "Everything". The Blockbuster package (or Platinum as it was called before this) was separate from Everything for at least a full year, if not longer.

Kind of misnamed then. I know when I started with Dish is also included the receiver fees, oh well, I guess as with everything else has become another "nickel and dime fee" deal.

Ice, I'm sorry, guess I didn't make clear what I was stating. I know "everything" does not include sports packages or superstations, but, it states AT250 plus premium movie channels, since "movie pass" is listed as a premium I thought it should include it. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

Yes I agree with the misnaming. "everything with exclusions" is a better description.

Where are you looking where it says you generically get "All" the premium movie packages? All I see are more specific descriptions. You said in your post it was "your understanding" I'm not seeing how that translates into that's how it should be.
This is what I am seeing "This ultimate TV lover's package earns its name by bringing you over 315 channels of the best entertainment including all of the programming in the America's Top 250 package and 30 commercial-free premium movie channels."

Ice, yes when I started it was before movie pass etc, as I recall "everything" even included receiver fees. I will admit when I saw it said same as 250 package plus 30 premium movies channels, I did not count the individual number of movie channels, I just assumed it included all premium movie channels of which "movie pass" is listed on my programming as one of the premiums, so much for "assumptions" sorry I bothered everyone.

Of the assumptions I have seen I at least yours I can understand that you might think they were included. The way other channels have migrated down over the last couple of years, maybe it should be! lol
