How much does the Welcome Package cost?

[Pixl]

My neighbor disabled from heart problems had to drop his Dish sub due to financial problems. He asked me to come over and help him get some local tv with rabbit ears he bought. I was only able to lock in one channel. I suggested the welcome package and he is interested, but I'm having trouble finding any info on channels and current pricing.

The Welcome Pack is $14.99 a month. Here's a link that has the channels
DISH - Entertainment - Packages - Welcome Pack

yep one of the best deals out there even if you really only want locals
There use to be a locals only option but it was 11.99 (5.99 for locals + 6.00 no base programming fee) but that is long gone

Welcome Pack is 14.99 and has locals (in HD too if you have a HD receiver and a dish to get them) + some extra channels.

Are there any other HD channels besides locals? My son is interested in cutting down his bill.

Actually it was combined & reduced to $10 for the last couple years they had that option...as that's exactly what I had.
(+ I had supers & PI's)
Then when they eliminated that option, they forced me into Welcome f/$15, but gave me a $5 credit for 6 months.

Only if he subscribes to an a la carte service that has HD channels, such as HBO.

locals are in HD (if available)
as Matt noted any add on's if there is a HD channel
freeviews that have a HD version

Thanks Matt and Iceberg.

Why does the $14.99 Welcome Pack have channels in it like Bloomberg, Boomerang, Hallmark, MSNBC and Oxygen when these channels are not in the $49.99 AT120? Can anyone 'splain that?
