I would like to know if we still get NHL HD if we have Center Ice. There is a center ice version of the channel.

If you go down to the $10/month Essentials package you will. If you stay at the current $20/month you have now, you won't lose anything.

So I am not sure of the answer by reading this. If we downgrade to the HD essentials pack do we still get our HD premium channels still or do we have to stay with the $20 HD pack for that?

So we have to pay a $5 charge if we choose to downgrade to a new lower-cost package, even if we're AUTOMATICALLY rolled into the Ultimate package! It's not my fault I'm being rolled into the Ultimate package. It's their decision to do that, not mine.

I've always thought the downgrade charge was a load of crap. Charge us more so we can get less.

I'm downgrading... $10 a month is $10 a month... especially when those are the channels we watch in that list.

I'm a little confused on the premium HD channels. From what I am reading, I have to go with the Ultimate in order to get them? Is this true? If so, goodbye Showtime and HBO. I'm not paying MORE to watch 2 HD channels when I am already paying out the nose for the premiums already.

The $5 downgrade charge is obviously not a problem to me, but I'm just curious:

If I downgrade my HD to the Essentials package, but upgrade from the AT200 to the AT250, leaving my bill the same amount as before, will there be a downgrade charge? There wasn't when I switched premium channels last year....

No, you'll still get your HD movie premiums if you continue to subscribe to any movie premiums. You dont need HD Ultimate to continue to get the HD movie premiums.
