| | Jesus H Christ they launch a great idea of having an all HD package and then turn around and totally F*** it up by not letting you say pay an extra $5.00 to get your local RSN or subscribe to a sports package like NBA League Pass or NHL Center Ice!!!!
MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my bill. I've had this package for years. But when they went mpeg4 the price went up from $19.99 to $29.99. By the way I dumped Cinemax several weeks ago and I see they are still charging me for it. WTF

ACCESS FEE 6.00
CINEMAX 12.99
DISHHD 29.99
Account Charges $ 48.98
Total $ 48.98
Taxes
STATE/LOCAL TAX (SALES/GROSS RECEIPTS) 0.49
Total Taxes $ 0.49
Total Amount Due
$ 49.47
Back to Bill Summary

Why should they cut off one hand to feed the other?

This package will be used to get people "in the door". Many of the early adopters are sports fans and want at the BARE Minimum their RSN in HD. By not offering this it will be their way of bumping up people to the HD Ultimate Package as it will have your RSN.
I was so excited about the possible savings and eliminating all the crappy SD channels I don't watch but without the RSN (hopefully the 2 RSNs) this package is pure BULLCRAP!!

Questions for Scott:
1. I have a two tuner SD receiver in addition to my VIP622...will they be able to view the SD equivalents of all of these (and locals)?
2. I'm assuming that if this package is called DishHD that new channels (including CNN, which would add news) would be added as they became available.
3. Could I add Sirius as an ala carte selection?
4. What kind of commitment will this require?
5. Will I be able to keep my .01 Cinemax?

If so, bummer. But this pack would still save me money each month even if I have to keep paying for premiums to get a lousy single HD channel in each pack.
