I am also one of those Big 10 fans and am dreading to find out how this is going to work come the end of March. It has been so nice this year to see every I.U. b-ball game.

I have an 18 mo. lease with the DVR advantage pkg., the top 250, & Cinemax-(.02 cents/ 2 yrs.), and the 6 mo. free HD chs. When I called yesterday to order C-Max for 2 yrs. I asked the rep about the $10 HD pkg. She said all I had to do was call them on the day my 6 mo. free HD promo ends & d-grade to the $10 Essentials pkg. She also told me I would get all the HD chs. in my 250 pkg. as is std.
I hardly watch most of the HD chs. anyway, but I wanted Nat-Geo., History ch., the Science ch., & Discovery in HD. She said no problem and no charge for d-grading coming off of the HD promo.

I'm in the same boat as alot of you on here...currently have the AT200 w/ the $20 DishHD Pack. Can someone please list the channels that make up Voom so we'll all be clear on what we may lose when Voom is mentioned? Just to confirm, we'll also continue to get the HD locals (if they're available) w/ the essentials pack right? Thanks.

wow - if I remember correctly that is the very first original HD pack from Dish, doesn't it only have a very few channels. I think that is the first one I had.

So if I'm currently under the DVR advantage plan, will I still be able to downgrade to the $10essential HD package without mesing up my current DVR advantage plan?

I have AT250, HD, HBO and Cinemax, on DVR Advantage. ... So if I call and ask to do the HD Essentials for $10 a month rather than the $20 I'm paying now (I don't watch ANY of the "extra" channels you get in the Ultimate pack), will it screw up DVR Advantage?
I might consider downgrading to the HD Essentials and then upgrading my bedroom receiver from the current 508 to a 612.

On my bill it has the AT200 DVR advantage for $49.99 and then lists DishHD as a separate $20 charge. I don't think downgrading the HD will change DVR advantage.

I am doing this right now - it would appear that you can indeed downgrade the HD and DVR advantage stays the same ...
Mine will now look like
DVR Advantage = 49.99
top 250 upgrade($10) + HD essentials($10) = $20
total bill = 69.99
+ Setanta sports = 14.99
Total = 84.98
this is with one 622 and no DHPP
