| | | The Future of dishHD Absolute
I have been considering upgrading to Classic Gold from Absolute for a while now. I am tired of not having Fox, Fox Business, ESPNU, Speed, etc. I also really miss FSC. However, I need an excuse to spend an extra $37, like Absolute will be canceled "soon", or many new HD channels will be added to Classic Gold. Any speculations?

MY understanding is grandfathered Absolute subs will have Absolute for the forseeable future and there aren't that many new HD channels out there that actually have HD material that is worth anything.
Personally, I have absolutely no reason to abandon HD Absolute.

Bye Bye
None of your important to you are important to me so I'll stick with Absolute

I consider that a downgrade - especially in light of $/HD channel wanted.
The future of HD Absolutes in this household is one of sticking around unless the plug gets pulled completely on pay tv. Nothing else comes close.

I consider my absolute a prize.
For the price? no other plans come close.
I have never heard anyone say after they left absolute, " I sure am glad I got rid of absolute, those fox channels are definitely worth almost doubling of my bill"
But I have heard tons and tons of people say "I wish I had never switched"
