Can't figure if I can get the HD Platinum by simply changing to it. Why does it have to be so difficult?? | i have the same package and am wondering this also

Doesn't this company WANT to keep existing subs without raping them?
I just don't get it.

I wonder what AEP+HD will cost under this new regime. (I'm AEP/PlatHD/Locals/SuperStations).

Since DVRAdvantage will be no more I wonder if that means that if I elect to not change my programming to get the DishHD+Platinum on August 1st that I will lose my $3 DVRAdvantage credit.

I just don't get it. | It is simple really. Charlie keeps loosing subs (while others are gaining them) so he must get more out of his existing customers to keep turning a profit. He seems to not care if he screws his customers. He did it royally to his TurboHD subs -- even leading them on with lies before pulling the rug out from under them.

But then there's the question that they don't even address: will we who don't subscribe to Platinum get those channels for free since new subscribers will?
