| | I'm on the phone right now, and CSR doesn't know anything. Now I also complained about bill increase with NO notice from E* what so ever.

Anybody know if CI is in the upper tier of HD programming? Thinking about dropping that level once everything settles down after the price increase to save a few bucks.

Still listening to BS. I told him I'm dropping all 3 of my accounts because they dropped VOOM,GOL,and now. Its official. No smithsonian. And Everything pack is now $3 more per month. So my Bill went up $3 .

Don't worry, it's just Charlie saving us some more money.
Besides, Dish knows that after the initial uproar (which, frankly, won't be all that great) the anger over this channel drop will be forgotten and actually turned, by some, into a good thing; e.g. presages new channels, frees up bandwidth. Charlie has trained us well. 
Wonder what's next.

I don't get it... Why'd they axe it without warning?

SmithsonianHD is still in my FiOS TV channel lineup. While I feel that EquatorHD was a 10X better, we occasionally come across an enjoyable show every now and then. Anyway, sorry to hear E* yanked this channel...this is something I never got used to in my 3 years of Dish Network service (my wife still remembers when they yanked all the Lifetime channels on New Years Day 2006). I highly recommend FiOS TV for anyone who can get it...2 million customers and growing by 100k each month.

Another call to Dish to drop another Programming Package, I only watched 2 channels on Platinum HD, and now 1 of them is gone, not worth the $10 now. Also dropping all movie channels other than HBO until they get more of them in HD, especially Showtime.

Just a theory. | Showtime is a Viacom service.
